I think I've hit every obstacle there at some point, including the massive pillar! They just seem to jump out at at you

 

And, in a way, I suppose this adds to the excitement and thrill of bashing. I just need to convince myself of that

 

Running around a big field is getting a bit boring and I'm thinking of at least taking some small cones so I can at least make myself some "gates" to aim for...

[everclear1984]

I bought these a couple years back, I've never actually used them but I'm sure I'll get round to it one day lol - http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=301646883532&alt=web

Yep! Them's the ones I was thinking of. I used to have a load of yellow ones when I had a few years managing my lads football team but I donated them to the team when I left.

 

I'm thinking that this time I'm going to get red and green cones. Using boaty type rules, you pass a red cone to your left and a green cone to your right

We do have a BMX track, quite local, but, by all accounts, within minutes of starting your nitro engine peeps from nearby houses come and give you grief, saying that the BMX track is for kids on bikes. That's even when there's not a BMX'er in sight...

 

So, for that reason, I've not bothered trying it out yet. Perhaps one day...

LOL! No chance mate

 

Many years back, when me an my mate were running our 1/10th scale cars, we "borrowed" a road cone. Session didn't last long cos I hit the bloomin' thing and it broke one of the suspension arms haha!

 

Not very forgiving at all

I've just done a ten minute search on google for BMX tracks near Warrington and it brings up the one I know in Sankey Valley Park and there's a concrete skate park in Victoria Park near the centre of town.

 

Nothing else is showing up...

 

I need to look further afield methinks

[everclear1984]

Revised listing, I'm asking £20 plus postage for what's left.

Concrete is fun..but a car  killer

Yep. Especially landing it wrong  

Got a chip on my shoulder this morning. How much run time you guys getting from your kit on grass surface?

I saw a newb told that on a 5000mah 30C in a Truggy would get 20-30mins off road. BS. Then told a 50watt charger is plenty to charge a 4s. Bigger BS.

I get 10mins on grass. 20+ on concrete/gravel.

[everclear1984]

Another day another bash spot. I genuinely hadn't planned on getting out this week but it seems I'm doing a tour of the bash spots of Plymouth haha.

[evssv]

[Jeff_H]

Yeah, another excellent looking spot there, and handy for the parking too.

 

I'm going to have to get out and about and look for some better spots than the one I am currently using...

Sound like I'm getting bullied, I'm reporting all of you to the administration

It's very convenient for parking but it's oh so tempting to jump the car while it's there

A 50 watt charger will charge a 4s it might take a while but it will do it ..

 

I use 5000mah packs in all my trucks etc my MTe gets around 25 minutes sometimes longer truggies get around 15/20 minutes or longer buggies can go for 20 minutes plus. All depends on your set up and how you use the throttle . If you have the throttle nailed open then of coarse they get used quick old packs also don't last long neither do packs that dont get used often, then there's how you look after them aswell happy packs will out perform packs that are abused ..

 

There are loads of variables to take into account so yes you could get 20-30 minutes from a pack in some cases 

[everclear1984]

I also run 5000mah 4s packs and runtime varies hugely by where I'm bashing. The vid I posted yesterday I got 10-15 minutes, lots of wide open spaces and WOT runs. The one I posted on Wednesday with lots of obstacles/less space I was getting 25+ minutes.

[dazp1976]

So basically don't drive it like you stole it.

Where's the fun in that 

[everclear1984]

Who really likes high speed rc anyway?

It's only bs, no malice here   (not like many ******** on that Facebook & Twitter garbage)

Was it an entire shock you dropped down a storm drain last year?
