Is there a way to turn that nasty wall at the end of the straight into a really banked turn or something?? Or is it going to be left pretty much as is to rely on driver skill??

If it were banked, or there was some sort of cushioning by the wall, im sure people would run alot harder though that turn.

There wasen't any sort of bank or protection at the old track that I seen the one time I went there, so I guess its a matter of knowing what your RC is capable of.

Yeah I was kind of thinking that it may turn away a lot of new racers away if after every lap or two they need to rebuild the front of their truck/buggy/st. I dunno... I guess you can't cater to the new racers too much though... I guess pieces of tires of extra tubes or something would be enough. Call it the "Learning Curve".

Oh and rob you're right I fogot that at the end of the front straight there was a wall. If you screwed up you just tried to slide perfectly sideways so you didnt break much...

Well in the last place we had walls on all four side. just like this track. I think most indoor track have walls. and yes I can and will put tubes in the corners. as the guys who help with the track knows I run out of tubes to put in the corners. But I can't fix the fact you don't know when to stop or use the brakes before you hit the wall which is not part of the track it's 10feet past the corner and that thing in your right hand will make your car or truck .......TURN..... before you hit the wall. wow

Oh sure make fun of the newbs concerns over the "White Monster" !! It was a seasoned racer (George) that brought it up in the first place. I'm all for fun, but stuff happens, and if you end up in the wall(s) and break all the time, what fun is that gonna be? Maybe I can get a bulk discount on Traxxas suspension parts if I buy them by the gross.....

Dave it is very difficult to hit those walls, I was scared at first but once you drive on it you will notice, if your line is that far out you are doin something wrong lol. there will probably be a tube there anyway so if you do feel the need to hit it head on it should give you some vert and u can just pancake the wall with the chassis. The drivers stand is sweet you can see everything unless you have a black buggy like me LOL. Bernie how bout making that railing lower so midgets like me can get their hands over it LOL

well.. George is the only one to hit the wall all day. I don't think it will be a problem. George just cant drive, and to call him a seasoned racer is true but he also hit pit lane and broke... how do you hit pit lane George....SLOW DOWN....
