where to use my 1/5th scale car

I've just got a new Losi 5ive truck and am looking for somewhere to run it, turns out most tracks only allow upto 1/8th scale not really looking for formal races but for bashing and having some fun with my truck.

Would be good to find some like minded folks here in the KW area to take the truck out with and have a laugh!

Re: where to use my 1/5th scale car

i've been in the search for awhile too, but i gave up. i've bolted up alot including a skopod 62cc. I've found a few private BMX parks and one public bike park. limits when i can run the truck, but atleast its somewhere to really run it hard for some laps.the only down size is there are no drivers stands, So visibility can be a issue.

try a local BMX or dirt bike forum. They know good spots to run with jumps and maybe know some farmers with open fields and tracks in their back yards.

I have a small underused baseball diamond I have been playing in. Good surface, flat but fast. I race around the diamond & into the grass. They hav a hill that makes some inteesting climbs. End of Britannia rd. before it becomes an airport.

The Barnyard in Stratford has both indoor and outdoor tracks. 1/5 scale racing all summer, and Wednesday night is practice night.

If you look around or ask around the forums, there are a few 1/5th scale tracks near your area. Barnyard, and I think there is one near flamborough as well.
