I have only owned off road rc and just got to thinking where you guys run your stuff. I have a pool at my house and a lake about 15 away. Where do you go?

I live in the Bay Area. There's a marina close to my work. My work doesn't start till 2:30 pm, so I go leave the house early and used 2 bats then to work. That's if the swells aren't too bad. Proboat miss geico 24, 3s lipo, hauls azz.

Just make sure you have someway to recover it if something happens, I tennis ball with a fishing real works well.

There's guys out there with boats and stuff. 1 time, my boat capsized and a guy with his canoe retrieved it for me. He was cool, doing his hobby too.

I've got lakes and ponds within 2 miles of my house but generally to one about 8 miles away. We've usually got the whole lake to ourselves.
Use something like Google Earth to find a place to run. With all of the water near me, some are weed-choked. I rarely have a problem running nitro or gas boats where I go.
Avoid swimmers or places with heavy boat traffic.

Probably best to find a local club. I am a member of MMEU here in Michigan. Our pond is at 23 and Vandyke. We race 6 times per year and host the 'Michigan Cup'. We hosted the FE nationals in 2014.
