There has been an electric one-tenth scale off-road competition model car club based at Eden Park for very many years!
So what do we race?
We cater for both two and four-wheel drive buggies, 2WD stadium trucks and both two and four wheel drive short course trucks. So pretty much anything electric and off-road! The track was always purpose built for tenth scale so nothing larger we?re afraid and nothing nitro?..it damages the Astroturf.
Speaking of Astroturf we haven?t told you about the track itself! The track is primarily Astroturf with its famous banked tarmac Raceway corner, the equally infamous in-field concrete section and when being re-built we added a cobble section. Both straights have been regraded and re-laid in recent years, a new second bomb-hole has been dug but the biggest changes have been the removal of the concrete track markers! By removing many of the original track markers we have been able to MASSIVELY increase the amount of differing layouts that we can create and the track can be run in both directions to double the amount of possibilities! We have jumps, table-tops, bomb-holes, moguls and differing surfaces, we do have bumps and differing levels of grip and camber, there is good reason for all of this?..it is off-road!
