Are 1/10th tracks abit boring

[paulc]

As title really i've raced at quite a few tracks around the UK and not one of them have decent size jumps. After racing at RHR Dirt over the weekend i found it a lot more enjoyable and fun with some decent size jumps or is a lot of it down to health and safety now ?

You want to get down to our club Silverstone RCMCC in Northamptonshire. Track lay out is always good and jumps obstacles are of a decent size.

Good read

Personally speaking I don't like the Supercross-style jumps. Growing up in the 80s, UK tracks didn't have jumps (maybe the odd 6-inch high wooden ramp), but the racing was great. Big jumps don't give good racing in my opinion, you are always focussing on getting around the track (or avoiding missiles) rather than going wheel-to-wheel with the other cars.

I have to agree with sosidge...! More destructive crashes are caused by big air ,because you can't steer off ground and some people will try to pass by jumping further, than almost anything IMO....
Bear in mind we have 1/10 scale cars so, I think, a one foot high jump equals 10 feet, to the car....so 3, 4 and5 foot jumps are just not realistic..fun maybe to the gung-ho brigade..but dangerous..

Definitely not enough air time on most 1/10 tracks if any at all
And buggy supercross f#*k yeah I'd buy some a that action

This is an interesting discussion, here in the South I love the big jumps at TORCH (god only knows I paid enough for all my Kyosho shocks, I want to use them!) but at the same time the easiest way to crash out of a heat when you're doing well is to try and go big over the tabletop/ski jump when a few other cars are on it.

Big jumps are great IMO, it's part of good racecraft to take it easy over them when they're busy and go for the full on orbit experience on the next lap when you've got them to yourself.
