You do not need a "hand brake" to drift or even initiate a drift. The lack of reverse is ridiculous. Just a way to cause more broken parts and net traxxas more profit on over priced plastic.
I'm a beginner on road racer and I had built a 25.5 TC to learn in the off season but the carpet season is starting and I think there's not enough of that class to race. I'm thinking I'll have to convert it to VTA or USGT if I want to club race. Do you have any recommendations? Chasis is X4'24. Thanks!
Either class would be okay. I would say if you are a beginner to TC racing, you might do the VTA class. It is a bit slower and more forgiving to race than USGT. The X4 would be good in either class, it seems to have a lot of traction.
