it was ok cept, no jumps. I thought it was going to be an indoor offroad carpet but it's geared more for the rs4 and xray mini onroads.
That's a good choice for LHR to make too cuase there was like 10 guys there with onroads and about 3 with offroads. It'll be a way more stable racing scene if it's a flat track.

John said for racing trucks they were going to have some small humps they woudl put onto the track. I guess for open practice that might be a bit rough on the sedans! Still sounds like fun. No problems with freq's with both tracks running?

I talked to them about it last night. There are removable jumps that can be added/removed quickly so the off-road guys have something to jump for their heats/mains and the on-road guys have a smooth track for their heats/mains.

I'm sure it'll be different. They can't race mini RS4's against stock mini-t's

No, I meant motors per class. I've never raced, not sure how it works so bare with me. For example 4 guys with mini trucks, 1 mamba, 3 non brushless
Will they run an open class?
Does'nt seem fair. is it driving skills that are gonna make a differance not motors?

Sorry if I got in the way of anybodies truck/buggy. I had the Steering return spring snap on the R-1, which made steering VERY difficult. I was going to send it in to JR and have it fixed, but through a little research, I found out that the steering spring is a common problem on the R-1. I ended up using a pen spring to replace the original. It's a little stronger, and I shouldn't have that problem again.
