    WOW!  Is it a off-road or on-road track?  Is it carpet?  What tires work best on it?

    Its a offroad in door carpet track! So the surface will have carpet  but its ganna have jumps, woops and even a wall turn i believe! So im guessing that offroad mild aggressive tread will work great! Im not sure how on road tires will do!! I know this because i spend alot of time down there and i have even gotten some plywood from my work for the track..hehe

    Still building. Looking nice. Im deff gonna try a drift it with my 1/10. But set up more for smaller scale truck's and buggies.. which of course is gonna force me to pick one up. Thank god their stocked. But will prob sell out when course is open. I know adam is testing it out as they go so u guys prob could too. Not sure. But if u havent been in their in a while take the time to go check it out. Its a whole new store.

    Sorry, I wasn't clear in my question.  What I wanted to know is if there are jumps or is it a on-road course.  If there are jumps can they be removed for on-road?  I don't want to jump my 18Rs.

    Went by Sleadd's today and they were hard at work on getting the track done. Adam was busy with a customer but a young kid showed me around and it's looking great! Smaller than I was envisioning, but then again I'm used to 1/10 & 1/8 scale cars. They also have a variety of 1/18 cars, buggies, trucks, etc. on the shelf for sale. Looks like it's going to be a blast - hope to make it there Sunday for the kick-off!

    I think the Losi Micro series vehicles would be a BLAST on that track!!!! (Just my opinion!) They also have those for sale :)

    I told Bartle you guys ran rc18b and he kept telling me that you only ran SC and I swore you told me you ran truggy (now I find it's buggy but exact same rig)  I just got done building a complete FT RC18T2 with just about everything you can do.  waiting to run with some others.  8)

    Buggies and truggies are basically the same...... i figured we would run them together,  and run the sc18s in a different class. Tryin to set up a big mini race at my indoor on Nov.3........
