Default First tip
You must have 4 wheels with tyres mounted on them, and generally pointed in the same direction

How do you get grip?

I can imagine the race full of power slides and diff bounce.

The polished wooden floors under our track is very slippery!

After the track has been put away, some of the guys hoon around on it with their touring cars.

Default Tips & Tricks
Next step, make sure that you have a DC electric motor in your mini (M series tamiya) and that it turns the right way

Mini's never power slide, they are front wheel drive

So I wasn't using the correct term for "mini sliding sideways, wheels are spinning and steering on full lock but car not turning" - Get over it - move on.

What's your track made of ? and what grips for you ?
