Default Went to the track for the first time today! WOOOHOOO!

Fun Fun! I took my T-maxx out to the track with stock tires. I was doing pretty good (said some of the vets) bought some proline 40's bowties and HD Hex hubs and lowered my suspension when I got home. Looks tight! Gonna try and go out again sometime this weekend or monday.

My next upgrades are RPM A-Arms, alum shock towers, proline suspension.

So how can I rearrange the internals to make it balance more.

of course where do they get the money? sometimes if the hobby shop owns the track they may not charge u if u buy stuff from there. cuz they know the more u race, the more u gonna buy parts!

I helped maintain the track so I can run for free...still had to pay to race though.....I haven't been able to get to a good track since the hurricane hit though so I don't know anymore......most tracks need someone to groom it every now nd then...water it down......see if they'll do work in trade......no tlike the whole time you go you're on the track.......

I know the first time I went to my local track that just got completed like couple weeks ago, I had too much fun with my XXX-NT. Even tho it was only an hour. Our pratice fee is also $5 a day, unless you have a membership.

Ahh, Im so psyched.

They're building an indoor offroad track down at my local hobby shop. Then an outdoor one. Im going to enter in the stock engine class they have down there. You must have a stock engine, but you can do whatever else you want.
