you put a pumpkin out on a track with real rc's, i bet he other drivers found that inspirational. the second i heard you say that i immediately remembered getting stuck today for miles behind and old man in a Toyota doing a ripping 12 mph .....lol

Thanks! It was a quickie. I hate spending time on runner shells.
Great run and video. Enjoyed it. “Blistering Speed” 😂 Looked cute. Didn’t see any annoyed people. Think they liked there was a car they could overtake over and over again. ... I’ve always wondered about these tracks of clay. Why they make them. I can see how a real off road indoors track could cause maintenance problems and bad indoor clima, but why not a carpet or asphalt instead of that clay.

Every time I went on the track, this one guy got all flustered, walked passed me complaining and saying something to the affect of " this is no place for toys...grumble grumble" and took his car off the track. Silly people. I would assume the clay is easier to turn into new tracks? You got me on that one!

AMPRO Engineering Yeah, I think you are right. Easy to make. Ohhh, Strange behavior. Such people should get their own track and play there alone. Well, even the RC world has strange people as we know ;-)

I still wish I could find a Lexan Pumpkin Body for my Lunchbox-Zilla!! It's one of my favorite Bodies. So.... NEW version Arms?? My early Arms seem to be holding up perfectly. It's good to know that an even better replacement is available, IF I ever need them! I too wish that these places would cater more (at ALL) to the Vintage RC machines. There's certainly enough of us out there!! Carmine 💥 ⛽

bwahaha their prob not yours! love it "if you can't go faster get in the way". lunchbox/pumpkin is what it is, low speed wheelie popping short wheelbase big wheeled hornet based fun little bashers that were really never meant for any big power or speed. it's like racing the bone stock BoLink "Digger", very fun little nightmare cars.
