I wish I had some land to do that... I say got for it, but it's a lot of work. These Savy's need a big track. They feel at home on a MX/BMX track.
Good luck and post some pics!!

big track reply
Big track is right especially for a newbie. My driveway is 35x90 approx all concrete, thought I had plenty of room at least for a decent breakin, NOT. It worked but after breakin I started running in the back yard, 150x300 (before I encounter some imovable objects, OAk TREES, I could bearly get her up to full speed before hitting the skids.
Front yard is where I'm thinking of the track. Could easily use a 200+ wide by 600+ ft long area. All open meadow, currently just growing weeds and field grass that I religiously mow with $5.00 gal diesel (why)? Sandy loam soil for perfect for my dumb ***.
I am thinking about something I ran into on a motocross track years ago (don't ask how many). You had a choice, it had this BIG jump over a mud pit or you could take a bypass. If you made the jump you were good to go. If you came short you could get out but the guy taking the bypass kicked your butt.
Ever seen anything like this in RC stuff?
PS
I mentioned running in the grass afer initial breakin. I recall reading somewhere how hard this is on the spur. I stripped mine not unexpectedly since i am a dumb A. Did not do any proper upfront checking etc. but it happened shortly after running in the green. Not real tall or not very thick.
Is there a better forum to post this question?

Running in the grass should not strip your spur. Landing a jump on the throttle will real quick though. 🙂
