Umm, its about a 45/45 mix between the street and dirt for mine, the other 10% is made up of grass, skatepark runs, and a very rare, but usually fun, runs in teh sand followed by a rebuild. I have an HPI RS4 MT, a traxxas stampeded and a emaxx, and I love them all. gotta love the 100ft+ wheelies it can do

the views and opinion expressed in this post are my own and in no way reflect the opinion or views of DTE Energy (company madated statement)

Re: Where Do You Drive Your Truck

IN the wash under the bridge. After it rains there is a nice collection of mud that is some good fun, or just bombing around in the sand is alright. The .21 motor could use some more power though (or some lower gears).

Ill drive mine where ever. Gravel trail, street, dirt.

Sometimes at a skatepark, but I tend to break A-Arms/Control arms or suspenion parts.

I love running in the sand, but I hate cleaning it up. Taking everything apart and cleaning it. But its cool as gell to see a 5 foot high rooster tail of sand!

Go to a public skatepark, not one of the ones you pay admission for. Its pretty fun, but can rip your trucks suspension (and more) to shreds.

Re: Where Do You Drive Your Truck

skate parks are sooo fun. but most of the time youll be walking away with a broken truck, but its usually worth it. come on, i mean a 20 foot long jump or a 9-10 foot high jump, doesnt get much better than that.

The kickers are so much fun, then running on the 10ft Half Pipes is really fun too.

I walk away with a broken suspension system 95% of the time though. My truck of choice for the skate park is my Traxxas Hawk, so when I break parts on those I have lots of trouble finding replacements.

Re: Where Do You Drive Your Truck

ACNC is for the T-maxx and E-maxx. Don't know if they make other parts for other trucks.
