My track-Ridin' Dirty Raceway

[Doom!]

Love the rewind action! I'm just going to pretend I didn't see you run anything over.

Well, the 2024 season has finally begun for me. Got the track cleaned up from winter and had my first run on Father's Day. Man it felt great getting back on the track. Still tinkering with ramps and smoothing it out. It's never ending, but so worth it.

Going to try and get a Birthday run in this evening after it cools down. Of course after a couple movies and a nap. Then steak dinner, presents and some cake and ice cream!!

And here's a link to my Track build thread (from Day 1) on RCT's brother forum-Arrma Forum, for those that are interested.

EDIT: Ugg...can't get link to work.

Nice recovery, bri. Track maintenance is an ongoing thing. Doesn't take long for it to get away from you. You got 'er back race-ready for another backyard season. Two thumbs up.


Me, I'd a run it like it was. I like 'em rough. But that's just me. Fine looking track. -AC

Pretty darned impressive huh? I love the whole setup. Track, shop, driver stand, all there together. It'd be like winning the lottery to move in next door to Smilinbri.

Now we need to get him to build a crawler course next to it.

So, I finally was able to set aside some time for me and my RCs! Last Friday I took a 1/2 day from work and spent all afternoon runnin' rigs on my track. It was so much fun finally getting out there for more than 20mins. I haven't had a lot of time this year for my RCs, so I needed this fun break from life.

Enjoy! Music courtesy of @Moirae !!

Dang it
Forgot to come over during the summer
Well next summer it is

Or we can have a football and RC weekend

 

[RustyUs]

Kicking up the dust... I love it!

 

[Doom!]

I'll be glad when the season is over, so you will quit going out there and making such a ruckus, don't you think it's about time to start acting like an adult and quit playing with toys?

Nope! Nope! Nope! Don't listen to me, I'm crazy! glad you got to do some shreddng!

I've been doing a lot of on-road this season, so I haven't spent much time working on my track. Over the past month I slowly created a drag harrow and finally got to try it out this past Saturday. It's shorter than I wanted, but I spent $0 making it, using parts I had laying around. I also had to get off and move it by hand on several turns until I realized my chain was too long. After shortening it, I was able to go around every turn except 2. It definitely needs more weight. I have a thick metal L-shaped bar (like the kind you would use to hang a porch swing) that I plan to screw to the end, so the scraping is more even without the small drag marks and ruts it is leaving now.

It got cold as balls yesterday, so I probably won't work on it much more this season. I will definitely try to get some track time in if we get some warm days before the cold a$$ winter sets in.
