Yeah for sure, ill whack it on the charge and see how it goes. Fingers crossed its still good to go.
Local track here isnt a problem always plenty space.
But where i ride my bike theres some decent space also, i took it there last year. Was good fun

Its a Losi rey isnt it? You dont need a track, just terrain.
Or space depending. To be fair, say running an offroad car on just a flat cricket oval isnt much fun. No challenge, or challenge to be made. Its flat. Wow, go fast in a straight line, turn fast with no obstacles to hit, rinse and repeat. So booring.
Where my kid and I run my cars, its an easement due to the powerlines thats about 5 kays long in total. Its a bit odd as the top bit is a cricket oval, then steps down to a floodway, a few creeks that feed another creek that turns into the paramatta river then goes further as parklands.
So, typically we run up top near and on the oval. So its a community sports ground, canteen, public bog block, kids play area etc. We do not run on or near the kids play area as to not mess that up, but the council after they re did that area left behind mounds of woodchips and stuff off to the side. So for the best part, that's our terrain. If there's families using the play area, we move down the easement, same if people are walking their dogs. Just being courteous. RC cars are annoying to pretty well everyone except the person running it. I say that, and I run electric. Nitro or larger scale 2 stroke would absolutely even do my head in running one of those.
