Schumacher use to do one but it was actually a bosscat with a different chassis mount I think it was an RS Cosworth. The bodyshells shapes really do not lend themselves to offroading just dirt. If you think about suspension movement etc. Hence why any serious offroad looks like a buggy or goes further and looks like a monster truck.

They work perfectly well off road, dirt, gravel, hard, flat sand, short grass, the only surface they really have problems on is longer grass or badly rutted surfaces due to the low ground clearance.

They go really well on any modern 1/10th off road track, Tamiya rally blocks work really well on astroturf and dirt, but they don't fly too well so don't try and launch them over bigger jumps.

If you ride rally car on offroad circuit, it's not rally, but rallycross... Rally car is best on long, narrow rally track like this

Terry do you know when that race took place? Kiddies only up the road from me and that looked like fun.
