Dig usually isn't much of a concern indoors... a creeper with a good driver should do fine.
Heck, indoor comps can make a great drivers suck and crap drivers shine.

Makes me feel better. I hate to introduce myself (and kids) to something new and make them think they need a top dollar vehicle just to compete or complete the course.

Saw that from the Losi team driver's posts. Might do this.

I am running a Losi 17.5T combo on 3S. Geared 13T right now.

6.25oz fronts, 3oz rears...my kids creepers are 4.5oz fronts, 3oz rears. I did not want to stress the driveline too much until I decide on a better universal shaft.

Weight is merely a personal preference. Heck my left tires weigh more then my rights. Keep in balanced but with a front bias.

Weight is in the buildup of the rig also. I would die without weight in my rears. I need to put some more in my fronts actually too

Weight is all about the driver (as said above). I normally like a truck with little to no weight were other like addicted have 20# trucks.

And after your first comp you are prolly going to want a high dollar rig no matter what. Its just part of the addiction.

I kinda wanted a scaler next, but will hold off for a bit.

Not that a fully loaded LCC is cheap
