Backyard bashing- Micro

[Si2008]

After finally moving into my new house I suddenly realised that I've got a decent sized grassed back yard with some potential for a micro track.

I've never owned or run a micro before, I've only ever had 1/8th and 1/10th off road buggies. But I can't help but think that with some home made wooden jumps and a couple of wooden sloping walls for wall rides (berms) that I could have a decent micro track in the back yard.

I'm thinking of getting the Associated 18th Factory team truck but just wanted to double check that these micros run good on (short) grass. I know you guys generally run indoors with them on carpet so how would a micro run on the grass. I intend to get myself a decent motor/speedo combination so it won't be a stock build.


P.S. I'm trying to track down the LRP Quantum 2 micro for it, Can't seem to find one over here? are they available in the UK yet?

Thanks for any advice.
