no jumps just onroad.. there is an offroad track within the same indoor facility but im only putting on the onroad course.. it can be both oval and technical (if that is what you call it)
this their website,, the track layout in the photo isnt current ,, but it will giveyou an idea.. http://www.socalrc.com/

What they dont tell you about the atomic swaybars for the rc18t is you need the atomic a-arms as well.. I guess you could drill your own small holes to accomodate the swaybars in the stock arms.

now the trinity monster offrods did better than i expected.. i like them better than the foams.. i just wish i had the slicks for more contact... they do push a lot as with any other tire.. but i guess it is better to have them push on power than to bite and flip the car over..
i did pretty good with the set up i had.. im not sure if the sway bars will help at alll,,, but i did notice the alum front arm mounts grinding with the pavement while on the sweeper... the car sits really really low ... even with the monster tires... next time i go i will give the hpi wheels another shot.. and also play with the foam/rubber wheels as far as which should have which.. the front or the rear..
by the way there was very lil chassis roll.. maybe when it is time to refill the shocks i may go to something heavier,... maybe diff lube,,,, i read something from someone else saying use the ends of the linkages and make them to the length you want and use them as "SHOCKS",, they wont compress , but it supposed to allow yo to power slide with control i guess..

so far the best combo i found was regular size rubber(worn down to slicks) in front and foams in the rear..

what shock positions are you using? i laid the rears down and stood the front ones up and it helped quite a bit...
