I wont say you couldnt race one...I know the guy I bought my second one from (it was a used roller) only ran it on a track...but after running my new buggy I can tell the difference in handling...personally I think they are a very good basher buggy and could be ran on a track..but I think the new hurricane xrb is more track worthy...but yeah I know people who have ran them on tracks....not sure if they actually raced them but the guy I bought my roller from said he ran on a track for a yr and didnt break a thing..surely he raced a lil...lol...but I dont know for sure if it was official
