To be honest lads,think yourselves lucky that you have quite a few tracks within the Northern region,both east & west. Up here in Scotland,there are virtually none.Although I'd love to do 1/10th electric off-road,there aren't any tracks here to do it,(not grass tracks anyway,though there are one or two indoor venues).I'm currently having to run 1/8th nitro,on the only custom built off-road track in Scotland,where I do occasionally give my B4 a little run now & then.Unfortunately it really is a bit strenuous on the buggy,and at 276m long,it really punishes your packs,to the point that I'm lucky if I get much more than 5.5 min out a 4300 pack.Then again I'm running a Trinity P98 8x2t motor c/w 20t pinion on an 81t spur.
I think that the nearest track to me would possibly be S.Shields,but thats over 150 miles from here,so it's just not practical to run there. Stonehaven club are supposed to be building an off-road track too,but the distance is just as great.
