Whenever I complain about the traction compounds everybody says to just stop racing if you don't like it. That's too easy of an out and I happen to enjoy rc racing, but I will not let my kids step foot into an indoor carpet track. It's ok that we sit there all day cause we know it's harmful and we're adults, but to let our newborn to 6,7,8... year olds sit in there all day with you is just irresponsible as a parent. I wonder if will I be stuck in my backyard bashing with my kids for the rest of my life or at least until they can decide on their own to be exposed to all those chemicals?[/QUOTE]

What I'm saying is that nothing has been done over the last 30 years to find alternatives or even find an environmentally safe traction compound. We just continue to use Paragon with no thought of trying to find an alternative. Some of that ownus should be on ROAR as it has paying members and a responsibility to the racing community to look after their best interests. I feel as a whole ROAR should analyze all areas of rc car racing where any of its members could be harmed in someway and think about how that risk can be reduced.
And yes people have tired, and have been trying for years to come up with the magic solution and by far and away the best, IMO, and most common traction additive for carpet is still PARAGON!!!!! Why else do we have Jack the Gripper, Niftech, Traction Action, and many others????
I don't see you asking ROAR to look into tracks that spray there outdoor tracks with traction compounds. Even soda has citric acid. Last I checked citric acid is a hazordous material. Not to mention all the gas tracks that spray crap like VHT, methonal, nitro methane, castor oil and all kinds of other things that arent GREEN friendly!!!!

I heard that one of the symptoms of over use of Paragon is wild mood swings.

Do you really take the warning that says ''know to the state of California to case birth defects'' seriously? You know, they recently found that even the State of California is know to the state of California to case birth defects.
