Hi guys,

Just received an invitation to race this weekend a OVAL RACE with my G4/Mongoose 1/10 200mm nitro car ...

All i know (the race is next weekend) about the track is that is 170mts total length and have on the 2 curves a 20° angle to the inside ...

Now, any advice about the setup for this ?, neves run on oval tracks ... the bodies allowed will be touring type (200mm nitro IFMAR Approved bodies). The track its medium grip.

thanks in advance ...

I am out of my league with Nitro Cars. But, since no-one has responded...I will offer my suggestions, for electric dirt oval.

In setting unknown car for Dirt Oval, the ones that I have set up for myself and friends has been as follows.

Weight Distribution 40/60 percent front and rear. As close to 50/50 L/R as possible. Then I go from there, making adjustments as necessary. Use the tires that the go-fasters do... and practice.
