Cheers mate. Mmmm got a decision to make. I do have a tekno wire guide on them.

Yeah it's just the 1 track down here in Oz that have the restriction. It's a public track that is the local government help with costs and building and the club who are all volunteers administrate racing and the track design. Because it's government land it must always be open. So it's hard to protect the track. Most people are great. However often and it's always after rain kids ride their bike on it, etc.

Long story short. The club are really protective of the track so put in the restriction to match the 2wd class rules.

There are very few privately run tracks in Australia and most rely heavily on volunteers and the rc community to run the show. A Lot of tracks were built in the 80/90s boom with government support hence they are small and buggies reign supreme. Like other countries I suspect. The clubs are run with buggy priority. Short course is fading over here too. They are seen as track wreckers to a point & 4wd sct racing is basically extinct.

Well that's my update on Australia if anyone was interested. I'm enjoying lately driving it on some of the 1/8th tracks. They tend to be outside the big cities and a bit of a drive to get to. Thanks for your help Randy.
