Darren Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Hi everyone, was into RC years ago (was one of the founding members of CSOR), but haven't kept up with current bash spots. We used to use the BMX track in condorrat years ago. After being out cycling, I think Pollok park would make a great bash area, lots of rough offroad driving, jumps, track, fun terrain etc... and it's not too busy. So where else could be used that isn't too far of a drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking of taking a trip to PP myself the other week, will need to check out the bus routes though because I don't much fancy cycling lately LOL Bellahouston park might have some areas worth a look at up in the wooded areas up the hill Edited March 28, 2014 by Louise-Paisley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise-Paisley Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I am in Paisley too, Seedhill.. I have HPI Trophy Trugy Flux, Savage XS (wating on rx for it), Thundger Tiger MT4-G3 and Traxxas Summit.. Bellahouston has a bit of trail/ offroad/ woods areas which may be worth a go bit its not exactly extensive, Pollock Park I think probably has more potential as its pretty massive. I have also thought about maybe having a look at Kelvingrove park in the city, I go there with the mountain board and there are some good hill climbs and plenty of areas for a session.. Also the skate park there as well but it is concrete so doubt mine would survive very long LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise-Paisley Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I use flysky GT3C on the two HPI and the MT4, the Summit I use the stock TX as its 4 channel to do the gear change and diff locks.. The GT3C is great, cheap as chips, but make sure to get GR3C or GR3E receivers as the 3F seems to have pretty bad range issues! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up on the Braes? I was thinking of taking a trip up there with the summit and having a trek around, not been up there for years since I was up there doing panarama shots - be hard work cycling up that hill though!!! Of course in Paisley there is Barshaw Park, ok for racing about on the grass and there is the BMX track for a bit of jumping.. Also the mock road setup for kids cycles which is a laugh with the Fatshark Attitude FPV goggles Not double checked but I think at the back end past the walled garden there are some piles of soil, rocks, compost etc which might be worth a crawl over. http://goo.gl/maps/hLpmE Edited March 28, 2014 by Louise-Paisley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise-Paisley Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Not me, nothing was arranged, it just went all quiet LOL Weather is not exactly inviting either yesterday and today Going to take a cycle ride down to BnQ to get a blow torch today to braze the aluminium angle I bought to make a big trailer, plan is to put trailer on Summit and tow the MT4 or Trophy truggy to the park - just in case anyone round here does not already think I am a big kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
