Have you tried the RC on an obstacle course yet?

Okay I have to admit I'm really new to the whole world of RCs but after watching some of the luck few who worked out a group discount at the Rebel Off Road Meet and Greet I was hooked...but living vicariously through them sucked but now I have one of my own and have a ton of questions I'll post up as we go along. Just got a battery and charger today so it would be rocking soon with pics other than the few poser shots.

Some of my first questions are do you guys like the man made obstacle courses or just taking it out wheeling with you and running it while taking a break from wheeling?


A little too heavy on the skinny peddle! LOL


Remove the background and it looks like the real deal!

I like a good mix of man made and natural courses. Man made allows you to do some crazy things and natural can range from an easy trail ride to extreme. You'll start looking at landscaping in a while new light now.
