Near Scandicci, near Florence, is a place where you can practice a bit 'of everything in dell'automodellismo RC: the bush. Virtually
the place where they can challenge themselves with almost perfect Rock Crawling, Off Road, Fords and jumps.
A few kilometers from Scandicci, it is easy to reach after a few bends in the beautiful green of Tuscany, and then reach a pitch where can fit 5-6 cars. From here, following a small dirt road, we arrive at the quarry, continuing, after about 150 meters on the left there is a path: ahead will arrive in a couple of minutes to the grove.
For photos of the grove, I refer you to this post , while photos can be found at the bottom of the pit, usually in the Picasa album.
now analyze the site.
Cava: composed primarily of earth and gravel resulting from the disintegration of the stones. In part that "sale" you can try go up when the tire grip is the master, while the bottom one can fun with a little 'of Rock Crawling. Part
steep and composed of very fine earth and stone fragments small enough, or small just enough to prevent the means of attack to go on: a tire that is very clawed best suited to this section.
The downstream part of the cliff, however, is strewn with rocks on which, however, the grip is made difficult by dust and dirt deposited: If you want to build a path to something serious, the advice is to literally clean up the track . However, the Media 2.2 "are more difficult because of the size of the tires.
The flat part, though littered with stones of medium size, allows it to fun means faster, maybe even a petrol-type trucks and truggy. For the buggy not recommended because the tires are not likely to soften the harshness enough. On the right side of the flat part, are also a few bumps to be able to take advantage of spectacular jumps, since the spaces allow rapid acceleration and landing respectable.
Grove: For the grove it is very different, and the type of place, whether the composition of the soil.
Overall, the area does not have spaces that you can use these high speed vessels and is therefore preferred by crawlers and scalers. But the shape of the place and the composition of the soil, will make all especially fun for the latter, the scalers, who will find a beautiful place to tackle steep climbs and descents, river crossings, gradients, and mudflats.
The shadow is that, in the grove, that in case of rain, the place takes a long time before it starts to dry and this will bode fun trip in case of post-shower.
The soil is compact, where dry, but very slippery where wet. Along the stream of water, are easily found mud pools, great fun for your Mud Slingers.
It is very easy to create routes, more or less articulated, more or less long.
areas are not too deep to ford and in the case of my CR-01, hardly can cover the front axle. Tamiya cars like the F350, however, may have trouble due to the arrangement of the battery pack, close enough to the ground.
Tires: As you have understood, hard to tell what kind of tire is suitable for this place, given the variety of "disciplines" that can be applied. Off Road in a rubber soft compound could well adapt to both areas, but if you want to do things right, bring two trains: Soft Rock mix, mixes media from Off
ESC: Same goes for the configuration ESC: or find a middle ground (in medio stat virtus), or reconfigured as needed. If you lean towards the middle, have a look at the setting of the brake to avoid sudden braking on slippery rocks of the quarry. The autobrake, however, should keep it to 80% so that the vehicle can travel alone if the steep descent slowly. Reverse 40% linear and GAS, to the detriment of the exponential which can cause many problems on slippery surfaces.
I leave you, as always, the links to find the place and the Picasa photo album.
