With bigger tracks where possible it may be the case that perhaps you have a cut through that can be used to make the track slightly smaller producing more competitive racing.. our track although large is more specific to 1/10 and offers us many combinations that we can run to make it optimal length or minimal depending on what we need...

any faster and these beasties wouldnt be stopping/turning to well with the tyres and weight.

Aww come on rubes, it was called "drifting" on the wet track
