Its amazing what you can do wen you have the right equipment. What they have done would take a month of saturdays. This is a blank canvas and the chance to make a belting track.

They are not really that great for racing though. Really you need a 1-10th buggy not a truck (except if your name is Johnny!)

B4.1 Brushless RTR.

There was one racing with us last Sunday looking pretty decent straight out of the box.
We do have a few trucks that race though, so if you want a Slash its got some competition, but you'll find the Slash is the least raceworthy truck, so will find it harder. If the short course style appeals, the HPI Blitz is a better truck than the Slash.

if the council have left the astro turf where it can get vandalised then they will have to replace it do you have a set size the council are working to?
