> [@donkeyballs69](#): > > I think we need to make a track in a basement or garage for micro, mini, or 1/18 scale. I have a bunch of ramps and a computer program that uses the camera to count laps, but no room for a decent track. HAHA I’d love to line my basement with dirt and make jumps. Already thought of it, but that wouldnt go over so well. Just need a big section of tarp/2x4’s/dirt/clay mix, and we are good. lol ---

I need to get a 1/24 scale if I was to do this anyways. I only have 1/16 and nitro 1/10 (not currently running because of an axle, Looking up retrofitting for it.) and another nitro 1/10 about to come in the mail (roller with everything but engine) ---

you would need a pretty big basement for a 1/18th track, i’d be willing to bet my rc18 tops out at 20-25 mph or so, all stock just ordered a associated rc10T4.1, so that should be here by the end of the week ---

The losi brushless 1/24 SC truck would be perfect and it’s only $149 rtr. My 1/18 X-ray truck works great in the basement and it will do an easy 50+mph on a 3s lipo haha… The t4 is one of my favorite trucks, but it breaks more than anything i own. ---

Decided to build my own with carpet and pipe insulator for rails. It’s gonna be 3ft wide lanes which is plenty wide enough for 1/18 scale. It will have 3 24ft lanes and 9x9 area with tight S turns. this is one 12 ft whoop section with 3 1/18 scale trucks. ![http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae318/donkeyballs69/IMG_20130207_230853.jpg](http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae318/donkeyballs69/IMG_20130207_230853.jpg) ---

So having a weird issue with the Slash. Not sure if you can help. The truck stuttering problem with the gas (reverse or forward) It’s jumpy, doesnt go… suddenly the gas will kick in and it takes off. Once the truck is moving, it usually doesnt happen. Once you come to a full stop, it starts doing it again. Its not every time either. So anyways, heres my quick paint job. Not the best, but still my own design.
