I am interested in how people use their RC. Post pics of the places you play.
I got tired driving up and down my driveway, and accross my yard, so I built a little track in the backyard.(approx. 15 sec. laps) I love it. It is too small, but I couldn't get my wife to give up any more yard.(Thank you, honey, for what I did get) I have found that I don't break as many parts when I have someplace like this to play on...I'm not quite so likely to run wide open and hit stuff. I actually wear parts out now. I never had that problem before. I also sometimes take it to a local BMX track, but the jumps are so big, and the landings are so small that it's hard to really get into a groove, and it is large enough that you can't see the whole track from one place, so you have to session a section for a while and then stand someplace else.
I am a lonely RCer in MN. There aren't many people that have RC around here, so I don't get to play with other cars around. If anybody happens to wander thru west central MN, let me know and bring your RC!
This pic is actually 2 pics joined, so it looks funny, but I couldn't get the whole thing in one pic, even from the roof of my house.

WOW!!!! you made that track in your back yard!!! Looks really good! I know what you mean about just drving --Manually Fix-- driving droving deriving diving drying driven drivings delving up and down and araound --Manually Fix-- around aground round abound ground Aaron Armand Aron Rand arrant ironed rand surround orotund aroused errand and around. Here in the UK we have a lot of heath land (well where i live any way) Which is where i bash, but it does get boring, thats why things break cos your jump that little bit harder!!!
I too also have a BMX --Manually Fix-- BM BX BMW BAX BOX BC MC BUM MB track near by but I also found it too large and too hard (when you land wrong!!)

Also there is no one near me with Nitro --Manually Fix-- Intro Notre Nutria Vitro Nitric Niter Notary Intra Nit Nitrous MITRE Pietro Metro Niters NATO Nero Nita Nature Nits Norton Anitra Norri Neutron so i always bash around on my own, well with a little fan club that come and watch!!

If ever I get the ÂŁÂŁ to come over I will be sure to look you up for a few laps!!!

Once again, nice track!! (Sorry, no pics of the heath as boring!!)

My buddies that are into nitro are teaming up with me to build a track somewhere on my land. I have 9+ acres to work with, so I'm sure we'll make a pretty big one.

Not any tracks around here so all I do is bash in the yard. The front is thick but not real tall grass and the back is about 3 inches of leaves. Nothing to really show. Wish there was a track around here.

There are a few photos in my gallery and more in Gallery TNB at MZR. Basically, there are four nitro tracks in the area: Finishline, Silver Bowl, Boulder City, and Sandy Valley. However, below is one photo that I didn't take of the Boulder City off-road track but linked to from http://www.vegasrc.com



There are more photos of the Boulder City and Sandy Valley tracks at http://www.vegasrc.com

I think I'm going to beg my mother to let me build a dirt oval in her backyard.. she'll go for it, she likes her oldest, smartest and best looking child

You dont know how true that is...Dang my second childness. :\

It depends on the specific layout at the time--sometimes they are set up for speed, sometimes more for jumping, and sometimes for a combination of both. After all, they do change the layouts--at least around here. A couple of the racers in the photo below probably didn't find the "same" track easy despite the different layout. Of course if it was that easy, why isn't your name up in the #1 world spot? Looking forward to a photo of the track you race on too.

I wish there were tracks around me. I would REALLY love to goto one. Only ones Ive been to were out of state.[&:]

That is one thing nice about this area, there are quite a few tracks. Of course, it helps when national races are held here too. Numerous locals also road trip to SoCal as well.

cossie

i race indoors for tc where the tracks and cars are much faster and much tighter, most off road tracks are wide

ICrashThings

the tracks are wide because the trucks are wider then the little touring cars...plus they have jumps and stuff which makes it more skill to land without crashing.

I have a key to this track so I go whenever I want.
