[QUOTE=Shane_CycloneTC;11175569]thank you, me and other four man maybe coming together.
we thinking bring our track together to make a big one.
but one problem is will be mix up the parts of the track.

1st Reason

I was told by some of the longer RCP track users and race events organisers that a new RCP track gets grippier the more rubber is laid and also tire wear improves. If you run foams, it will suck the grip out of the track. I haven't experience this yet, but Im not prepare to find out.

2nd Reason

We plan on racing the following events which only allow the use of rubber or silicon tyres, no foams or traction compound:

http://miniz.ws/

if we get more track pieces we can also run

3rd Reason

Do we really need another reason.
Foam tyres = traction additive, which is bad for rcp track
Foam tyres = truing tyres, which will need tyre truers

At the end of the day, alot of thought has gone into this and we just want to make it simple, anyone can come here and race and maybe oneday become a world champion

Transponders: I have 8 IR transponders which we all can share, as long as you have an ICS then ur sorted. I will also provide a few non ics cable for cars that don't have ics in them, so before your heats, just come to race control and connect the transponder via double sided tape.

RCP and Kyosho RCP track: They are made by the same company, but have different interlocking pattern so can't be use together as the RCP grip side can connect to Kyosho drift side only, which can lead to a very interesting track surface. It would be cool to have a bigger track but we can't due to this.

Looking to be a big turnout so I can't wait.

After the limited time we've tested we found that Kyosho MZW38-20 Wide Radial works really well for the rears and for the fronts any 20-30deg narrow slicks will work which are the same tyres that come fitted on ur ASC bodiesIf you don't have any of these tyres I can lend them out during the meet.

Might borrow some as well, my cars are virtually standard! The original tyres on these MR01's are cracking!

[QUOTE=darkotan;11175507]if u can do better than 4.9 sec lap on the track tmorro night, i will change to foam tyres

Foam tires for miniz dont need traction compound and they have minimal wear on the miniz cars .
You should allow foam tire maybe have a foam mod class. as stock motor with rubber is slow may as well run 540 tc yawn yawn.
Let people race what they have or you will have no chance of getting more people running miniz.
