    yea our track is expanding

    I'm not a fan of clay, once the groove sets in it turns in to an onroad track with jumps

    I like loose dirt that's smooth and not packed down at all. I'm a roost fiend...

    Also... wondering I can run 2.2 CaliberT's...

    I like damp loam as well, we've always used top soil. What little I've ran on clay I wasn't a fan, it had a light dust on top and was slick as shit. They watered for 1/8 4x4 buggy/truggy, then for 2wd 1/10 scale stadium and buggy it was so dry you had watch for camels, WTF?

    That clay oval my buddy has isn't too awful bad. Seems a lot more messy than topsoil, though. Part of their track is just a mix of half and half. I like it pretty well.

    Bashed the hell out of my exo today at a construction site, ran 2 packs through it, lasted about 20min per pack. This thing is one of my favorite rc's to run now, it handles so good in loose dirt or rough terrain, didnt break anything in a easy 40min bashing frenzy.

    I broke my cast aluminum motor mount a few days ago just messing around in my driveway, ran the plastic one today and its still going.. gcm should be here tuesday or wenesday tho, then its time to order some powerstrokes and strc stuff :cool:

    cool, i am constantly looking for good spots to run.

    i have not had a need for motor mount other than stock, yet.
    i have been eyeballing the strc parts.

    once i can get back out and really run mine, i should have a better idea of what i should need from them

    Yeah, iv never really bashed mine for lack of a spot and lack of parts available if I break it, with the strc stuff out now I figured what the hell.

    I have been keeping the exo in my truck just incase I see a good spot and today im glad i did, had a few different areas with different features, had the most fun in a fairly rough area where a d5 bulldozer has been. it left tracks about 2ft wide, they acted like whoops for the exo, haha
