I couldn't take it anymore. It was time for the yearly one hour weed whackin'/grass trimming event last night. After getting the track into better shape; I ran an eBuggy w/Badlands to break up the top layer of dirt, and I was able to run a couple SCTs before sunset.

I don't talk to my neighbors much, if at all, as they live on the other side of the road. I'm sure the "nitpicker" neighbor would be giving me the "what for" talk if he were my next door neighbor, and my dust/dirt floated on to his property.

Great place for a track, Rusty. All that open land. To die for. Looks like there are couple of off-camber corners to making laps interesting.

When on a roll, keep rollin'. Did a throw down with another truck on the backyard scrambles track yesterday. DragSpec Rustler this time with a set of GrassSpec tires on 2.2 wheels. JC Carvers up front and P-L Holeshots in the rear. Strange. Last time running the Holeshots they would not hook up. This time no problem. Thinking because of having more power this time around. 3250Kv sensorless instead of the previous 27T brushed.

Didn't change any of the pre-loads from the DragSpec settings. Rusty turned left great. Turning right, not so much so. Also, the heavy duty TRX drive shafts are a bit larger in diameter than the stocks and jammed in grass between the half-shaft and the lower arm. Not a biggie for the sprints run on this track. Might be an issue for a full-pack event.

Image show spacing on the start-finish cones. Rules package allows for two wheels off track, but not four. Cones spaced accordingly. Displacing, striking or upsetting a cone results in a 2 second penalty.

Good having the backyard track up and running again. Forgot how much fun it is. Cheers. -AC

Man, that is sweet!

From that pic, it looks like an ideal spot for rc flying.....but, I'm betting you get a bit of strong wind there as well.

Anything bigger?

Yes!
But, who wants to dual with hydraulic log splitters?!

Looks like a good theft deterrent after the fact. I'll take it.

Same trucks again tonight, waiting on arms for the tmaxx and glue for the mt8 tires. The Vorza is totally impractical for our back yard (until I can get the track made) but it is fun to drive, and it sounds awesome

If you only knew. I ain't gonna lie... the wife and I give each other that look (get frightened) a lot mainly during harsh winter winds making the house shift/creek.

I often check out aircraft for potential purchasing, but nothing yet. I'm done buying any more RC cars so maybe in the near future an aircraft of some sort will show up. A couple of years ago I really wanted an A-10 as their full size counterparts are amazing.

Aye, mate. Looks like glider country to me. . .

Tmaxx is back!

still just new to this but that truck is so much fun the electrics we got are cool and much faster, but can’t replace that sound and smell

Track watering crew (the clouds) pulled some extra hours today, the pro4 got a tire swap for the slick conditions and was a blast!
Trx4 got to stretch its legs a bit too!

Haven’t had the mt8 out for a while, son broke the big rock last night so we got it out. Poor body on that thing

Still a little wet in the woods

Today I ran my infraction for the first time ever. Other than up and down my street I never drove it. So today was a ton of fun.
I went to the big asphalt oval racetrack for the spring cleanup and after cleaning the track I drove my cobra Daytona on a SCT410.3 chassis. Still needs some work , it’s a little tail happy.
But the infraction is just sick. I was having a blast basically drifting the whole track .

Completely destroyed the right rear tire.
The truck is so fast. Way too much power for this track.
I am going to switch to 2s batteries . The 6 s is just to much. Everyone there runs two 2 s batteries for 4s .

The Hoons are no good and the body it to heavy. But the truck is a blast.

This video is just a quick shot. I was trying to drive from the corner. Driving from the driver stand I made a half dozen laps without ever hooking up the tires. The Hoons just drifted .
