Quite a few years ago we had an RC track for racing RC off road cars. in Las Vegas, NV. They had competitions every week end, but they had one problem, that caused everybody to loose interest. It was the only place back then that we could get the new parts, to up grade our cars for the races. The employees of the store always bought up all the new up grades and there were none left for the other customers , so we finally just stopped coming .
Oh man, reminds me of when I raced carpet off road in the late 80's and early 90's. The track was different every week and I had my Team Associated RC10 hooked up and dialed in every race, fun times.
So awesome you decided to do this video! I just bought my first kit and I've never.raced.before. Just started building a TLR 22 5.0 AC yesterday and I have a carpet track 15 mins from me. I still have to buy electronics though. I hope to see more content from the indoor track.
Bro!!!!!!!!! I agree love the Chanel. But mark needs to get in the 1/10 world indoor carpet indoor clay come on mark I dare you !!! 🤙🏼😎🏎💨❤️ and still get your traxxas fix for all of us ...... TLR 🤙🏼😎
LMAO blowing that can up was hilarious. Everyone so scared. Ever bundle up red sparklers. Several years back like 20+ one happened to go off at the Banks Lank Reservoir (grand coulee dam before 9/11 lololololol of course). My friend heard it go off not in Grand Coulee (which is a town), not in Coulee Dam (which is another town) but Elmer City (a town about 8 miles from where it went off maybe 10). Yeah... fun times. Explosions are fun though. We use to blow up beaver dams on our farm with Dynamite. Fun times. :D
Theres a carpet track in our city, though I'm hoping theres an actual dirt track too because I loved the feel of that as a kid, but if there is I may still give it a shot. The buggy im getting (104001) is basically designed to run on carpet and even comes with carpet tires. May be worth going to the carpet track until I can afford a good set of dirt tires for it. ^_^
Dude, that looks like so much fun....I gotta come up from Houston and run up there sometime...idk if the wife will be happy with me building a 1/10 carpet buggy! Lol I’m already super involved @houstonRC running mini z, and mikes, in Porter. Racing 1/8 ebug/etrug...you know how the addiction goes though 😆 “gotta catch ‘em ALL” lolol good vid man. You guys are so lucky up in DFW/garland. Y’all have a lot of tracks opening up, in a close proximity...I can’t wait to hit up Billy Tylaska at A#1 Raceway and get some laps with my teammates, either....I’ll be up that way soon..take care man 👍🏼
Just found your channel and subscribed already. Love all things RC and gonna start using my slash some more. Do you only mess with traxxas? I have a huge lot of old RadioShack xmods if you’re interested. And local to you 👍
I don’t think he has a 2wd but you can run what ever you want if your sponsor doesn’t make that certain car. Like I’m sponsored by tekno also and I run X-ray for 2wd buggy
17.5 is a stock 2 wheel drive buggy class. 17.5 refers to the amount of wire turns in the motor, and it is considered stock as everyone who is running that class has the same motor. if you want some info about the different classes you can go watch roach rc's video on 10th Scale Off-road Classes Explaied. th-cam.com/video/QENzBUFd9d8/w-d-xo.html
All i have is a hpi rs4 nitro and a redcatt blackout me and my nephew mess around want to get something better just wow some cars are exspensive ...i thought ball pythons were exspensive lol
Hpi rs4 nitro is pretty dang good... redcat racing makes decent stuff too. Id say about the only step up you've got to look forward to is Team Associated, Yokomo, or... its kinda sideways, not up, but Traxxas. If you want a fun but cheap buggy the new 104001 from wltoys is actually a pretty neat starter buggy you can build up to be very fast. You could also get their 12 or 14th scale buggys and have a good time. There is always parts support for them. Wouldnt be quite the quality youre used to with HPI and Redcat, but for the money and if its a kid who's gonna drive it (for your nephew) you could start him out on a wltoys model and have him build it up to his liking.
No this is way too small for 1/8 scale and 1/8 scale really can't run on carpet anyway. My local track is a bit smaller than that and someone brought a 1/8 ebuggy to practice with and now there is a giant hole in the wall
Keep promoting the RC world. Very cool. The fact that your family is involved mades it’s better.

that sounds as fair as a organiser that race in his own race to win and dont need to pay the winner
This is something we need here in GA 😃 👍 Awesome work as always!
That place used to be my favorite gun store. Now it supports my second favorite hobby.
Boys + Fire.....a perfect match

Good video. Good vibes. Makes me feel like racing again.

That's awesome good luck with your TLR 22
Finally some off road carpet the only thing this channel needed

on mark I dare you !!! 🤙🏼😎🏎💨❤️ and still get your traxxas fix for all of us ...... TLR 🤙🏼😎
Indianapolis here. Our largest class is 2WD Stock Buggy (17.5) on indoor carpet. Would love to see you and the boys tackle that monster.
cool carpet track I plan on doing a lot of vlogging at my local carpet track. I'm just starting out with it
Love running on carpet.
Really, I don't like it, just not 'off-road' to me 🤷♂️ Still, I do race carpet during winter, better than no racing at all!
Pink car's on rails! Looks fun
Love that Place
Have to find more tracks near me! I have a drifting track close to meet!
thats what i use to run buggy B5M and TRL 2.0 off road carpet if you use foam tires even faster when i lived in MO
racing is more fun than bashing. Fight me
Gooo Navy... Qtip showing the support.. love it...
These cars are so nice 👍
Great video.

Update: they just redesigned the track and added a lot of space to the overall shop layout. Plus, mini classes may make a comeback!!
Evan drivin really well keep it up man
Cool video mark!🤙🏼😬
I love my traxxas hoss I've changed the axel carriers and the shocks anymore idea's on what to change next

Just getting into rc and found your channel it would be cool if you could show some how to stuff like upgrades for the cars
You and the boys should start carpet racing
Yeah, that would be great!
I think you should get a TLR 22 5.0 kit. They are only $270. TLR03017 is the carpet/astro kit.
As much as I hate carpet tracks for off-road, it does make it easier for a shop to have a track! And hey, racing is racing! 👍
And the car doesn't get as dirty on the carpet. I have been running mine out in the snow, then put it in the sink until the snow melts off of it.. LOL
Thats a nice track!
Do you remember the size of it?
And the width of the lanes?
I anticipate this VLOG being much shorter when it is re-posted :D
Lookinv at getting started in rc racing what scale /type is most popukar raced i wanna getcsomething that i can race with others
I need update on your 4ws 13.5 truck . Our track is starting off-road carpet racing. I’m thinking of getting a tlr 22 5.0 buggy
Turn Marshal Mel I love it.....
Way rad bro.
What type of carpet is used to run mini z and other 1/28 scale Rc for indoors
Only in texas i miss being out there i can have the biggest fires in my back yard in texas cant here in California
Looks fun

Is there a spot like this in or closer to Austin?

Mark: People don’t forget.
But you never got one and we still waiting for you to come back and do some racing
I got an arrma granite it is sick!!!
I got a arrma typhon 4x4 mega v4 for Christmas! what did you guys get?
I got a 2001 Subaru Forester 🤪
The 1st car in the description should be the carpet track cars! I can't find them or what they are called??
I thought you said you were going to go back and race?
Carpet oval is fun
Where is this place I know it’s in texas but where I want to go
2wd is interesting too..
what does it cost to go there and practice?
Mark, what car would you get since tekno doesn’t make any 2wd?
I don’t think he has a 2wd but you can run what ever you want if your sponsor doesn’t make that certain car. Like I’m sponsored by tekno also and I run X-ray for 2wd buggy
@@byzone0632 makes sense thanks for the info. I run associated
My Home Track Is carpet, @PDXUnderground
everything is nice and clean :)
What is 17.5 and where can I find info about all the different classes?

What track is this ?
What kind of battery do u us in your remote
Any 2 cell lipo that you can fit should work fine as long as your radio supports it. You don't need/want a high c-rating for a tx battery.
@@mportillo78 not for your car
I use a futaba 7px and we use a protek rc 2s life pack

Can 1/8 scale run on this track?
No this is way too small for 1/8 scale and 1/8 scale really can't run on carpet anyway. My local track is a bit smaller than that and someone brought a 1/8 ebuggy to practice with and now there is a giant hole in the wall
Id almost say the size of that track 12th or 14th scale would be better, though I'm guessing they run 10th. Its so narrow of a lane.
Can't go fast in the air. You can see the speed pick up when he stopped over shooting
Hit the like button, hey, hey, yah you hit the d::mn button LOL thanks folks grow the channel!
Carpet blows, sorry, but it does. Thanks for the video though. I'm from Paso Robles.
