Default Where are some good tracks for me and my bro

Hey guys me and my little bro have a 1/10 rally brushless and 1/10 slash brushless with lipos. We went to a track in Redlands and werent able to have fun with it cuz it was super hard for us. I would consider both of us beginners and would just like to know if there were any tracks that would fit our cars better? Thanks.

The Rally is really not suited for a offroad track but you could drive it I suppose, I saw one running practice at Pegasus in Mountclair but when he took jumps it landed really hard.

Redlands is a great facility and is no harder then the tracks mentioned above. It is just going to take some practice, practice and more practice.

Just take your time and remember one rule as a beginner: Slower is Faster

So slow down and learn how to drive the track with out crashing then build up your speed as you learn.

One more tip: When you take a jump don't hold the throttle!!

Ohh and always have fun.

I second that!!! Excellent advice.

Some other points to remember is don't stop on the straight-a-way and don't be scared to talk to the faster guys. Most important is practice at the track, not in a parking lot or in front of your house.

These are not bad places to practice at all. Anywhere you can go to get a better feel for the car is a good place to start. You can even lay out a chalk course in a parking lot or driveway to try and stay in the lines. Best part about that is you have no walls to smash into and break things.

The one thing that really tends to get on my nerves, stopping in the middle of the straight or crashing on the straight and not saying anything

The current layout at Peg is pretty easy and would be easier on the rally car.

Consider yourself and your brother lucky to be here in SoCal. We are the RC Mecca and you are centrally located to literally 15+ tracks within an hour or so from Corona, 9 of which are indoor.
Redlands (indoor)
Airland (indoor)
IERC (indoor)
Pegasus (outdoor)
Revelation (outdoor)
Coyote (indoor)
OCRC (indoor and has an additional small practice track that's PERFECT for beginners)
Westcoast RC Raceway (indoor)
SCVRC (indoor)
SDRC (indoor)
Controlled Chaos (outdoor)
Hot Rod (outdoor)
Tony's Hobbies (indoor)
LRH (indoor)
ARC (outdoor)

That's just off the top of my head. I know there's a couple I'm missing. Carranza gave the best advice though, just keep practicing, you'll get it. OCRC has a great facility for beginners though because you can practice on the small track without the fear of getting in the way, then once you feel like you've improved your skills enough, you can take it out on to the main track.
