Just concentrate on your riding. Having a big bike doesn’t automatically mean you can ride it well, having a small bike doesn’t automatically mean you suck at riding.

On a 600 it’s less of a big deal and you can concentrate more on things like braking and cornering, that’s why it’s always better to start small in racing (like the 250 class or the 650 class). also the Rc will eat up tires when you start getting faster ---
