will i just went to lake balboa its located in the van nuys area just a few blocks away, before it was only heli and airplanes but know they added a larger area for cars and yes there is a sign that saids it. this was my first nitro and i have to say i like the sound it makes better then elect to me becuase i love the real think cars that is. the sound of in engine rev or racing is one fun thing to see pluse it only takes me 15min to charge my batts and im off. there called t3s or something like that says on it 15mins you do have to buy the charger for it. you can find it at frys electronics. and another thing i was somewhat drifting with this car it has the torgue for it so torque its not a problem here. abs or electric tape should be use i think electric tape would work great. ill try it tomorrow
