[–] M0RPHAUX@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) Very true. The same I can say about RC Drifting. So much fun if you have a club! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Twitchy1@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I have not tried that yet. I did nitro off-road bashing years ago and have dabled in rock crawling with a little SCX-24. There's a local indoor track with a drifting course... not real fond of management otherwise I'd race in the air conditioning a lot more. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] M0RPHAUX@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago (2 children) That makes sense. How did you like rock crawling, also about the small one? I'm thinking about getting into that! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Twitchy1@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 2 years ago Its different, very slow. I figured it would be a little more relaxing but definitely not the case. Anxiety builds trying to figure out ways to climb without flipping repeatedly. Florida is flat and mostly sand so there's not very much in the way of natural places to run it. I resorted to taking rocks off of construction sites to make a small course in the corner of the yard. permalink fedilink source parent [+] mostNONheinous@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
