Default micro for those boring rainy days?

hey guys, well i have a feeling that my summer/spring is going to be filled with boring rainy days. does anyone know a good micro that can be used inside the house and run on some art sand? (im building my own micro rc car track in my basement )

Kinda like how the losi 1/24th SCT looks. Just its too small for where I usually drive, and I don't have enough oom in the house to drive it.

from experience I wouldn't buy their 1/36th scale line. I got a losi MHR and that thing sucks.too small to go out, and kinda poorly designed.

I have several heli. They are fun to fly, but unless your basement is massive and tall I wouldn't get one

Most RC parts have a protective coating against water.

Get it wet, ffs, cars are for fun, enjoy it in all conditions or shelf queen the biatch of a thing. Buy a chopper for indoors.
l have wet weather trucks and dry weather ones, l couldnt imagine not driving in all conditions !  
WD40 is your Water Displacement friend after driving in the wet ! Took them 40 attempts to get it right, hence WD'40' ! But it works !
Get her wet get her wet ! She will forgive you !
Wet weather driving is awesome fun !

nails? you hammered your car together?

Tried a mini heli I got outside. Inside it worked perfect was easy to control, outside it was extremely hard to control to the point it crashed, and broke its bar on top

Or you could look into the blade mcp-x but if its your first heli, the blade msr is a good choice.
