FORMULA TOY F.A.Q. updated 3-1-06

[a2b]

The Formula Toy class is the cheapest form of competitive rock crawling available. Also, a Formula Toy doesnt give up its trail-ability to compete. A F-Toy makes a perfect trail rig for the weekends and seating up to 4. Being that its a spec class, the playing field is even accross the board. Its truly a drivers/spotters class.

Shouldnt this be made a sticky or whatever you call it to keep it at the TOP.???????

I am seriously researching doing a 4 seater in one of these and have to keep pulling it up.

Just wondering since the Toyota one is stuck at the top.

Thanks,

ttt I don't know why this isn't a sticky. I guess having a mod in this forum would be to much to ask:confused:

[a2b]
