I don't know when it will air, neither do they. It depends how the TV industry likes the show. Here is the PITA though. They told me to bring my truck and all my gear, and when I get there I find out that they are giving everyone loaner trucks to drive. The course is literally impossible to do with the cars they have given me and 2 of the other 4 competitors. I and another had stock slashes, another had a stock bandit, and the lucky one got a stock 3905 e-maxx, who tore the course up. The hills are too steep and sandy, you can't see your truck 1/2 of the time, you don't have enough time to accelerate out of the turns to go off of this 5' ramp and fly over a volcano, and so on... They are modifying the track today and I'm looking forward to a slightly easier course. Most of the time you can't even tell where you are, since you are standing parallel to the truck, you have absolutely no depth perception. The driver stand is in completely the wrong place and the course is not possible to complete with the slashes or bandit. I was thinking "God, why can't I drive my truggy..." most of the time. |
Wow, thats pretty lame that you had to use loaner trucks
. Maybe for the actual filming you will get to use your truggy. Got any pics of the track at all?
And what RC's are the other guys running? (not the loaner trucks but their own RC's.)
