Love it Keith what a great job on the track unbelievable. Not many people can actually build their own track just saying. Keith those electrics I sent you were for professional racing and were very expensive so try them out 17.5 they fit the rb6.

Oh man! What a layout and that looked like a heap of fun for sure! The BB did really well out there and the RRR looked good to, just a bit of a handful!

[@wadeskelton7585]

3 things - 1) this is the absolute shit right here - 2) I’m blown away by how well you can see the cars even at their furthest distance from the driver’s stand - 3) the fact that you can still find the guardrails on a track so wide is a testament to just how big a track for 1/10th scale buggies really needs to be (yes you need some practice & the right tires we can all agree) for all of us eyeing our tiny backyard while wondering if it’s big enough for a track - it’s probably not 😄 Great stuff dude enjoy the shit out of that track!!!!!

[@rcicons4915]

You make me laugh buddy. We can only go up from here! Lol

[@neontetra1000]

Can you make a board with lap times from all different on ? I predict the trf 201 will be the best on that track although there may be a few surprises like some random rear motor tamiyas that run well.

[@rcicons4915]

I would think the same. At some point I will set up a lap counter but for now it is just about learning how to drive. Lol

[@coygtrc]

Wow. There's the solution for Gavin, he should run a Blitzer Beetle 😅 Joke aside, that track is amazing 😮 Well done. Next is to find the right tires, because for a 4WD to slide like this, not common 🧐 And then maybe a lap counter system like Lap Monitor (infrared) or some apps with a smartphone (I think they detect movement from camera). Looking forward for the next vid, really impressive (and to hear both of you having a blast, so nice) 🤝

Would be sick!
