That is a HUGE indoor track. It looks like an outdoor track. It could have some more jumps

This track is awesome. It was built to be electric friendly. They run nitro their too.

I don't know if it was just the tires on that truck, but it looks like there isn't much traction.

He's running a mamba monster 2650kv combo in a 12th scale truck so i'm sure it's the pure awesome power.

At the end of the strait he slides sideways for like 10 feet. It looked like something an r/c drift car does with plastic tires. Also at the part where the truck is really close to the camera and making a right turn it looks like it wants to go strait because of the lack of traction. It could be that the driver has made the absolute worst choice of tires possible, or that the dirt just doesn't have that much traction. If it is a lack of traction that is something everyone that races there will have to deal with, but if I had the choice of racing somewhere that had low traction or somewhere that has good traction, I would choose the place with good traction.

That track is huge. I wish I had a place like that to race at.

As far as the traction goes, the track doesn't look loose. It looks to be packed down real good, so unless they are using some weird dirt, I'd have to say it is the truck.

Looks like a really fun track. Regarding the traction issues, remember, it's a new track, so the dirt is still breaking in. Looks like it blue grooves real nice and is loose off the blue groove, so the key will be staying on the blue grooved area. Also, since it's a new track, people probably are still figuring out which tires in which compounds work best. This video that I found of it, shows more of what I'm talking about than the video that the OP posted.
