It would cost us more to get that dirt from his track compared to having new topsoil brought in believe it or not...that old stuff had too much coarse material and silt still had 4 to 6inches of solid silt below, making it hard to build tracks, its a mess, hard to keep moist, water retention was low, and the traction isnt close to black dirt tracks. So the change is for the better!

Cool, do you plan on getting a couple more buggy sets in any time soon? I just haven't been excited enough about r/c to pull the trigger on $100 set of shocks. But I'm starting to get the itch again now that my weekends are free
