I never knew that THIS track was in my area! I found a flyer at the LHS and made my way there today. WOW oh WOW. This thing is awsome.

My MZM was a blast in the dirt.

Unfortunately, I had groove tires on the front and slicks on the back because I didn't know there was really a track like that, and was planning to run on the tennis court.

I did not have much traction obviously, but I was able to get a few high-speed jumps in (throttling like a mother). The track is a little different right now. It has more turns and cuts in it. I took one of the jumps at about 15mph and went off the track and landed upside down, and lost power to the motor. I havn't figured it out yet. I'm hoping it's just a wire somewhere, but they all look intact. Sucks

That track looks huge area-wise.
There's no drivers stand? Drivers are just on the sidelines? That's gotta be rough.

Yeah, there's a stand. They just didn't get real good shots of the track...

Yeah. The drivers stand is high enough to get a great view of the area. It is a really nice track. I figured out what killed my MZM. Tribbo comm drops eats brushes when you use way too much. It was really fast until it stoped working. =)

When the brush came off, the brush arm got caught in the comm and ripped up the ultra dash comm that took forever to get here from singopore.

Then I took the truck back out there and lost a lock nut and some wheel shims. It just isn't my day.

moral of the story?

leave comm drops to the "1 race, 1 rebuild" crew!

Great track but I think a tad large for bits, I think the dirt would clog up the mech a little

Seriously it looks prety kick ass, we don't have anything like that in the UK, and isn't rebuilding your RC's on a regular basis half the fun of this hobby?
