I find it sad that you guys over there struggle so much to find a place to run your RC's. Try Google maps and see if that locates an open area for you.

Looking at Google Earth, I found this.
Looks like Southeast Cardiff.

The top speed on that kit is only 30mph / 48km/h. I find it hard to imagine you can't find a couple hundred feet of road/grass somewhere to run it WOT
WFs idea of using Google Maps is the best thing I can think of.

Wow. Now I don't feel sad for people in the UK, I feel jealous.

Looks like a killer park.
However, the pic I posted would be mobetta for Lipo....

Welcome you and your Granite to the forum, Chis.

Using Google Earth, Cardiff looks like a densely populated area. Did find an area immediately SW of Newton that looks promising. Is that doable? Cheers, and again, welcome. 'AC'

I just found that and its a working quarry. So either ill get run over or the police will be chasing me from there ..worth a drive up to see it i guess

Oh ok. Wasn't sure what it was but certainly looks like fun.

Let us know what you figure out. Maybe if you go to their office and ask for permission? But if they are anything like here, that never ends with a permission to play slip.

This song always came to mind when I used to scout places to run

Hi Chris,
How are you liking the Arrma 550? Is it the BOOST 4x2? What did you select for battery power?

Long I've wanted a 2WD MT to add to the stable and completely overlooked this one until you posted here. I like the features it offers. That and Arrma's have a double-tough basher rep.

Cheers. 'AC'

The arrma is my first rc and i love it..its the arrma granite v3 550 mega. I bought a few lipo batterys off amazon. I new to the rc world so I'm trying to learn as i go along

O.K., got it. You started with the 4x4. Good choice. Yeah, we're all here to help so don't hesitate to ask questions as you go along. Cheers. 'AC'
