Gets a lot deeper than I ever thought it could. The mechanics of making a car go around turns better/faster gets very in depth. Lots of trial and error. Race every 2 weeks so tons of time to experiment with adjustments between race days.
Ages range from near 80 to 10… everyone out just having a good time and helping each other for a few hours. During winter, Florida busy season, we have 50+ people racing 5-6 different classes in a public parking lot.
Started with a used off the shelf car for $75 from a club memeber 5 months ago… now building competition grade kits and put up shelves in the bedroom for all 7 of my cars. Almost all used for VERY cheap that just needed a bit of love to be competitive again.
I have not tried that yet. I did nitro off-road bashing years ago and have dabled in rock crawling with a little SCX-24. There’s a local indoor track with a drifting course… not real fond of management otherwise I’d race in the air conditioning a lot more.
Recently joined an on-road RC racing club.

Very true. The same I can say about RC Drifting. So much fun if you have a club!

That makes sense. How did you like rock crawling, also about the small one? I’m thinking about getting into that!
