And the person who told you so, did not study, experiment and observe himself either.
If you use RCP tile and find you have no traction issues...It is because the tile is dry....you can hydrate the tiles with a mist of water and the traction will come back....A good misting then a vaccuum will do wonders to RCP....

Traction compound isnt really needed imo, the car worked fine w/o it. if you need traction, i would try using gojo hand cleaner.
imo xrays would be better for an rcp because they are a tad smaller than 18rs, the they are also more durable. running 180/5cells, youd be hard pressed to break anything at all on the cars.

i was 1 of many who didnt break 1 pc of plastic all year. w00t
clean foams off w/tape, sauce up and ready to go. cars are stupid easy to work on and run. 20cars is an average nite in stock.
consider other tracks in winter and in summer can get that in mainline classes, or in many cases, total entries for all classes. its a winner. i'm a convert. said no way i'd work on those lil turds. watched a race when a friend asked me to stop by. i walked out w/a car.

18R actually runs very good with the stock rubber tire on RCP track. At Willy Wong's house, you remember Willy Wong from Queen's Off-Roader?, I was driving the 18R and was able to stay in front of him driving his super fast mini-z, on a TWO tile RCP track. My point is that the car handles amazingly well with stock rubber tires.

The one time I got to use my m18 on a RCP track, there was no need for traction compound. One benefit with the m18 is since its such a light car, the tiles will hold up longer from wear and tear. Another is its preciser steering.

excellent sugestion!!i would go with either the buds cars or the robitronics scalpels.They are a lot of fun with 4 cells and a stock motor on an rcp track PLUS any of your 2wd mini-z racers would possibly pick one up being the tuning and handling characteristics are so similar to a mini-z.Not to mention that on an rcp track they are just about indestrucible.
