Most tracks have a frequency board check it or get a Spektrum radio and you will never have to worry about interference Biggest thing is practice, practice and more practice. The vehicles are only about 10% of winning and the other 90% is the driver. The biggest thing as far as setting up your truck is tires. I would just go to the track talk to others and practice. When you first start running do not try to be fast just try making it around the track with out crashing. Then as you get better start speeding up a little at a time. Any basher that thinks he is a good drive put him or her on a track and they well see different. I all most quite messing with my RC stuff till they open a local track now bashing is not even in my vocabulary. But that is just me.
