well after deciding to take my son to the park,, i let him play a lil while,, and wanted to take a wlak on the lil walkway at the park,, walking on this walkway is like walking through sherwood forest,, lots of bushes and lil trees on both sides,,
we walked to the end when i noticed a patch of dirt,, hmm this would be a great place to bash.. pretty unstable dirt.. and then i looked up..

the clouds opened up,, angels floated down ,, the sun gleamed through and shown on that one spot,, this one spot that my heart sank when i laid eyes on it...

my eyes began to water from excitement and my son who i was holding ,, just wanted to get down to grab the snail on the sidewalk..

i wiped my eyes and made eye contact withy a lil kid riding his bike and jumping on a man made jump... as i got closer and closer,, i saw and couldnt believe it,, a small (right size fo rc) a track with jumps and whoops.. double triple and quadruple whoops.. .. the track is oval shaped,,, and looks to be made for speed,, and nothing else,, just speed.. i talked to the kid that was ringing his bike,, and i asked,, "how long has this been here" he said about a week,, well atleast i was aware of it a week ago,,, from the looks of the track it has been there longer than a week,, the dirt was firmly packed and there was wear from when we had rain..

this is my new home..

well i spent about an hour out there on th track,, and had a great time by myself,, the jumps are low but will allow great air and the landings were great aswell.. i loved being out there,, the only thing is that the dirt was very loose... i had a hard time getting traction from my super soft wd40 treated holeshot m3 tires,, and m3 blades in the front... the track is made for a 10th scale or even a 8th scale,,

the rc18t even had a go at it,, it was hard to find a straight line but once i did,, it took the jumps like a freakin champ... found a nice flat section,, and opened the mamba up,,, and just saw smoke,, i ran the thing until the batteries died,,,

my day ended when i took a turn and headed down the straight for the quad whooops,, well the 10th scale truggy took the first jump and thought it was an rc plane,, the thing landed on the T-BONE BUMPER and then hit the rear tires... it knocked the motor out of place,, causing the mesh to be toooooo loose.. i had to wrap everything up.. but i will be out there gain,, for sure,,


only wish i had a buddy to go there with that way i could take some awesome pics,, and show the world that the xtm xcellerator is a great buy...

now that everything is dirty i have to clean up...

You must be getting some speed and air over there:D . It looks like a ton of fun, but now you have another place to "stress test" your parts:rolleyes: . Now you need to test out different treads:cool:

treads as in tires,, if so,, then yes i need something that will be better in this dirt than the holeshots..
