Race on dirt; the way God intended. This off-road dirt track is great for 1/10 and 1/8 scale R/C vehicles. Track conditions can change throughout a race from high-bite hard packed dirt to loamy and loose so you'll want to have a couple sets of tires to try out. From opening it up and running fast on the front straight to the technical turns and rhythm sections you'll love flying over the big jumps and bringing home the R/C glory!
