Where to Take Your Traxxas for the Ultimate Adventure

Whether you’re into off-road trucks, buggies, drifters or rock crawlers, finding the perfect spot to test their limits is half the fun. At Jerrol’s, we carry Traxxas RC vehicles, known for their durability and performance, making them ideal for any adventure. Here are some ideas for landscapes and locations that will elevate your RC experience.

1. Local Parks with Open Fields

Wide, open fields are perfect for beginners or anyone wanting to test out a new Traxxas. Look for grassy areas with gentle slopes for some added variety. Parks are also great for setting up makeshift tracks using cones or natural features.

2. Wooded Trails and Forest Paths

If your Traxxas RC is built for off-roading, a forest trail can be a magical setting. The uneven terrain, fallen branches, and tree roots create natural obstacles to navigate. Look for trails with moss-covered logs to drive over or small clearings with dirt mounds for jumps.

3. Rocky Hillsides or Quarries

For those with rock crawlers, a rocky hillside or quarry is the ultimate playground. The jagged surfaces, steep inclines, and narrow crevices will put your vehicle’s climbing capabilities to the test. Keep an eye out for boulder stacks or natural rock bridges that add an extra layer of excitement.

4. Beaches and Sand Dunes

There’s nothing like watching your Traxxas RC kick up sand as it zooms across a beach or tackles a towering dune. There’s a reason why the Traxxas social media pages always feature pictures or RC’s slinging sand... They’re just cool. Coastal areas offer a mix of hard-packed and soft sand, giving you the chance to experiment with speed and traction. Try weaving through driftwood or jumping off small sand ridges for added fun.

5. Creek Beds and Shallow Streams

If you’ve got a waterproof Traxxas RC, shallow streams and creek beds can add a splash of excitement to your outing. The mix of water, rocks, and mud creates a challenging course that’s as fun to watch as it is to drive. Look for areas with partially submerged rocks or small waterfalls to navigate.

6. Urban Jungle

Parking lots, skateparks, and even empty playgrounds can turn into thrilling RC tracks. The smooth pavement is ideal for high-speed runs, while ramps and curbs can serve as impromptu jumps. Look for spots with stairs or concrete barriers to add a technical challenge. Just be mindful of other people and vehicles.

7. Snowy Trails

Don’t let winter stop you! Snowy trails are perfect for Traxxas RC vehicles equipped with snow tires or tracks. The powdery terrain offers a unique driving experience, and the snow spray makes for some awesome slow-motion videos. Try building snow ramps or creating a winding path through deep drifts.

8. Backyard Tracks

Sometimes, the best adventures are right in your own backyard. Build a custom track with dirt mounds, ramps, and tunnels for endless entertainment. Add features like log bridges, rock piles, or even small water crossings to make the course more exciting. It’s a great way to hone your skills and get creative with your course design.

Tips for a Successful RC Adventure

Exploring new locations with your Traxxas RC is an adventure waiting to happen. Keep an eye out for interesting geography near you, and don’t be afraid to think outside the box. Every hill, rock, or stream could be your next great challenge!
