1/10 Offroad Track

It is done guys! We dealt with the cold and rain all day today and got almost finished with it before it started to rain hard. It was cold and wet but the finished product was much better than I had anticipated. I had planned to snap a few pics of the building progress but that didn't happen. I will get some of the finished track tomorrow and post them up. I hope it dries out enough to run on a little bit tomorrow as well. We will see.

Sweet to hear. I hope I get enough rain that when I rake my track in the AM it will finally pack down. You remeber how loose it was the last time you were over.

How is that B44 build going, what are you puting in it?

Yeah I actually had 18 tons of clean red fill dirt hauled in and used a lawn roller to pack it down. I then followed that up with a super hard bristle push broom. It seems to be good and packed even before the rain. I plan to broom it off in the AM again and hopefully it wil be dry enough to run on it a little bit.


As far as the B44 I haven't had an opportunity to even start on it yet. My attention has been on getting the track completed but now that is done I will be starting on the buggy Monday night. I have already picked up the electronics for it as well. It will have a Novak GTB Racing Brushless System 5.5, MaxAmps 5500mAh 7.4V LiPo Saddle Pack, and a Airtronics 94358 High Torque Aluminum Gear Servo. I have watched the guys race them in the Mod. 4x4 Buggy class the last two weeks at the new indoor track in Charlotte and the look like they are a blast to drive. I am thinking the 5.5 and that 5500 should have plenty of power. You and your crew will have to come out sometime and do some racing!

That is cool man. You are more than welcome anytime. We are all a bunch of newbs but we will have fun none the less. We could use a few experienced guys to learn from.

Nothing great but we are all newbs so we can expand/change the track as we grow in the hobby. It is wet and cooooold outside this morning so I didn't take many but here ya go............

SWEET!!!

Looks like fun!!!!!

MAN. When you go you go all out. Wish I had enough land to bulid something that big.

looks good Harold. nice job on it.

I just wish I had your lawn roller, my track is soft today.

Thanks for the compliments guys. We managed to go through about 5 or 6 packs this afternoon after the track dried out. The wind outside is still killer especially on the trucks when they are 6ft. in the air. I am really enjoying this side of the hobby. Any of you guys are welcome to come over and hang out anytime. I have a few extra trucks that you can run.

thats awsome i cant wait to get out there and pound the ground with the bl xxxt gotta an adress to get there?

Thats what I tried to tell him. But I think I offended him.

I think a B44 will do just fine against a XXX-t. Go Harold!!!
