    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!

    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 💥 ⛽
