I've built out the 6s rig of my dreams (so far
) with a Fireteam converted into a monster truck heavily upgraded. Pretty happy about the build but the more I try to go out and bash the more bummed I get.
Went to the biggest spot I have available to bash today, an old mixed use development of offices and light industrial buildings with huge parking lots, a massive grass field, and a good size mixed grass/dirt area. The property hasn't done well over the years and is probably less than half occupied. When I turned in the driveway today, I noticed the check in station/gate that is always vacant and open has now been demolished and removed. In the dirt where it had been were 2 new signs: "No Trespassing" on top, the sign under says "Not Open to the Public".
Did some digging online and found out the property was sold and is being developed to include a mix of homes/townhomes and retail shops. I guess thats the end of bashing there!
Another spot that had been a favorite is now half covered in construction equipment and materials with a fence around it. Can still bash there but the remaining space is pretty rough, tired of busting up rigs on the ground filled with softballl size rocks hiding in the tall thin grass.
That leaves pretty much flat grass fields, that has already gotten too boring. Really nowhere good to run it now without driving at least 15-20 minutes to a couple of other parks that I've had my eye on, but the last 2 times I tried people were in the space I wanted and I had to go home and discharge 2 6s batteries.
What to do now? Getting hard to find anywhere off road. Go alll in on a road rig? 1/7th scale street buggy? Mojave shocks/towers? Shelf queen it until I find a good spot? I dunno, just tossing out random things.
