We don't even do Freestyle. It takes a long time and is hard to judge without people getting upset.

Yeah, it's a slippery slope. We try to shudder the gatekeeping as much as possible. Sport-mod used to be the "off-the-shelf" class, where you could buy an SMT10, change the motor and be good to go. Unfortunately, that's turned into a crazy class too with dual-motor super modified LMTs, Axial based trucks, and Clods. People love the 2wd class though. Always a bunch of guys running that. I imagine you could make a 4WD independent suspension class to help the newbies out as well.

We generally use "Trigger King style" rules. I'll post them below. Best way to get started is to get something scheduled and get the word out. We've had pretty good turnouts over the years

Hey @MadAnt. We do have racing in NJ. We have not had an outdoor event yet, but they should be starting up in June. Jersey RC Racing Promotions on Facebook is the folks who put the races on. The racing will be happening in Jobstown, NJ. Let me know if you have any questions!

Mine is not sitting on a stock clod, so I'm not sure how it would be on there. I think my body posts are level though. You'll probably need to have yours level to get the same effect.

If this is a modern kit you recently bought, it should have an 880 in it. It's been quite a while since Tamiya had their own in these kits.

I can't speak to the V-Chassis Pro, but I do have one of the Retro chassis and it is top-notch quality. I don't think you'd be let down by it.
What are you planning on doing with the Clod? Racing? Bashing? We may be able to give a better suggestion knowing that.

Don't axe that Bennett Clod. They are getting rarer and rarer. I still haven't seen one in person. I would love to try to race one some day.

It took quite a while to get that club going near me. For a long time there was nowhere to run MTs.

What kind of power are you running through the transmission? I've never had any issues with the stock SMT10 driveshafts. They're simple but they do the job.
