Yes, I always feel grateful for the tracks that are close. I don't race much anymore though, b/c I don't like to drive much anymore. The offroad track is 30 minutes away, but only races about once, maybe twice a month in the summer. Great place, hand scoring, keeps it low key etc. The carpet track is also 30 minutes away, relaxed program, not a big turnout, but it's a place to run my 1/12 that's close, those don't come around very often!
I built a nice track for myself and the kids in the backyard. Drivers stand, tubes, loam dirt, love it. Get to run rc cars every day when it's nice and never leave home, doesn't get any better than that!

Hello I am a newbie in RC car (Technically I used to run on-road touring when I was in high school and came back after 12ish years) and I currently run shortcourse and buggy. I use the shortcourse truck (SC5M) on the novice class at the local track.
It seems the stock class is not popular and I had trouble clearing double jump so the owner suggested i get either 13.5 or 10.5, which I ended up getting 10.5 for the short course. It's very powerful but I have been learning to control the throttle and use only when I need.
I will hope to get into the stock buggy 2wd class soon once I get more comfortable on my driving with shortcourse which is easier to drive and more durable to my poor driving.
2wd buggy is really hard for me. My car keep flipping so i am sticking with SC for now.

I was going to pull the trigger on a new 2wd 1/10th scale, after this thread I might reconsider that idea!
Cain - what do you recommend tire-wise for packed dirt 2wd?

Our local track runs a Stock 17.5 2wd buggy class and a Stock 13.5 4wd buggy class. The 4wd buggy's do average faster lap times in the AMAIN over 2wd drive.
