Micro-T Master's 1/18th - 1/36th Backyard Offroad Track!

You guys have good space for a trak, its just hard to get at, I got no space to work with (suburbs ) and its covered in grass.
(reyzo has the worst situation though)

im jealous

If you have really hard clay sometimes you can cut strips of grass about 1ft wide and then pull it up like carpet. Then roto-till the clay to make it workable... you can rent the roto-tillers.

Well right now there is feild corn (feed corn), and what is left of a wheat feild, so there really is no grass. lol

I do truly have the worst situation, I have a 20x20 yard(its only a guesstimate)) and theres a pool back there, surrounded by rocks. Absolutely nowhere to drive except the front street and alley.

get a boat, and play in the pool. lol

i also have a lake at my moms too, so i just gotta hop in a conoe and go out in the middle to drive a boat i'm working on,

the lug

I would, but my pool is only 12 feet wide, I wanted a traxxas blast, but I would have to get something smaller than that.

Tracks looking good MTM, That would be a good track for my radline.

You could always get a mini boat. lol

If you're good at waterproofing your cars you could build a ramp on both sides, the get a run for it from either the neighbors yard or the street (depending what's around the pool) then you could make some cool vids of you trying to jump the pool! Ah, just make sure that things are really water-tight first.

to do so keep jumping it into the pool and if you fry it you know you need to do somthing different, we all hate the old saying try try and try againd, and if that don't work try again

the lug

It would be kind of cool to jump it while someone was swimming


OK, I'm kidding...it would probably be a really bad idea. You might end up hitting them in the head and it would be hard to explain to the cops how you accidently bluggened your sister to death.

That'd prolly be real hard "well you see officer, I was just driving my 10 pound rc car when it hit her..." I like the mini-z boats and that boat that vrnom came out with, the mini-z's are cooler though.

i think said venom boat or at least one seriese is about 4 feet long and has a 26cc GAS engine...

but accutaly they may have come out with a smaller one but baots are bigger than cars by scale ratings

the lug

venom has new boats that are made for pools

venom makes boats

uh huh,

I like the mini boats, but they look a little toyish, I do like the reef racer though...

I wish someone would make a small air-boat. It sould be great for when things get swampy around here.

I have seen a few, but they are hard to find at times.

Anyways this is what I found on tower (I think you are looking for smaller ones tho), and they also look to be only nitro powered (but I don't think it would be too hard to make into an electric boat, but then again I could be wrong)
