Hate to break it to you Matt, but I'm going to work at the StC store on Saturday so another employee can go to the auto show with her family so I can't make it to this comp. I did come up with an idea that would be a blast with these little guys though! When I worked at Toy's "R" Us, we carried these sandbox/pool things made by Little Tykes and Step2 that were huge (IIRC somewhere close to 4'x6'x1' on the inside and htere may have been a slide molded into them as well!) that would be perfect for making small transportable courses! Just dump some dirt or clay into one and make hills for an off road course or pack the surface up around the edges of the box for the banking on a dirt or clay oval!

Just found out that BRP is going to offer a Wedge style body and a Classic Hauler body for the Micro Desert Truck

Check this out, the bodys are a bit too narrow but the WB is about right for the MDT, might make a neat late model body

My buddy bought the lipo battery for his and WOW a ton faster, i've got an Atomic BB motor today for mine, now just need the lipo battery!!

Thanks Matt, looks like those pools are no longer available, but my be worth looking at a garage sale if passing by. Bought a version of the GTO body to try, haven't drilled any holes yet and it'll need a Micro Baja rear mount though.....

if you want a cool portable course, why not either build a mock slotcar track out of 1/4 luan or, take some foam board, carve out some different terrain and coat it with epoxy (not fiberglass it will eat it). You could throw some sand in the resin while its wet for traction/realism. I have been avoiding buying 1 because you know as soon as I do Ill build something like that and I dont have the room.

what you need to do is get a micro "league" together. Then everyone could chip in and build a sectional course that each member could take a piece home to "play" with. Then when you have meetings/events everyone brings all the pieces and you have 1 huge layout. (I need a basement or huge garage)
