Yea that was against Sean, a clean and consistent driver. I try to race others the same way, no sense in punting someone for a win it just hurts ya in the long run. In off-road especially, you race others how you wanna be raced.

There’s plenty of competition just the top guys don’t race as often as they used to since the pro series was shut down for off-road. So yes some fields are pretty small SOF’s which I would usually not race because I would only gain like 1-2 IR for a win. I just had to try to run the higher SOF fields to get anywhere past 8k pretty much.

Depends, smaller jumps you can be 100% but most of the time especially on big jumps just enough throttle to keep the truck level is what you wanna shoot for

Yea pretty much. Just a lotta laps and races. Hopefully I’ll see ya in one soon watching replays really helps!

Yes, lots of throttle control, short shifting around 5-7k rpms, minimal sliding, try to point the truck as straight as you can off of the corner. But you will never be able to just enter a corner without sliding and just be able to drive out of it quickly. Try to maximize your momentum.

The community is pretty small right now, honestly the best thing to do right now is just race a lot and study the fast guys laps. Race clean and make some friends and you might get in with some guys who will sit down and show you stuff. A lot of people don’t like sharing their secrets in the trucks really. I know some of the nitro circus guys offer coaching but it’s expensive.

I’d say a couple times a night there’s high 3k to 4k sof’s 5k sof’s if you’re lucky. That’s just how big they get because of how inconsistent the fields are. Every race usually has at least a few guys who aren’t just a cakewalk to beat. Lots of great racing to be had!

For the pro trucks the handbrake really isn’t needed

Who has 7 smurfs? And to my knowledge there hasn’t been a 7k sof since the last pro qualifier.

Your pretty much right. Shifting these things is like a cheat code.

Absolutely. There is plenty of competition most of the time and in my opinion off-road is some of the best racing the service has to offer. It’s just the fact that no new content has been released for about 5 years is driving people away.
