regarding the sugar, simple syrup, soda spray, some castor oil seems to help make the sugar last longer. (i think the oil keeps the sugar attached to the surface)

This is the best and easiest formula several clubs in our area use it.
1gal of fruit punch concentrate
1-2liter orange soda (we use orange crush)
1 gal of water
Mix and spray
I recomend thin coats out of your sprayer.
The club in Visalia has a 12v pump mounted on a ag tank on a wagon with 4 spray nossels that spary's a 8' path that is very even and uniformed the best setup I've seen!
This mixture is so sticky your shoes will stick to the track the cars love it.

Here in the midwest we tried the following with the these results - Our test was 1/12th mod, if this could get around the track we had good traction.
Grape Soda - Had to run on it for 4 to 5 hours before it was reasonable.
Sugar water - sucked. We did not boil the water... maybe that was an issue.
Orange Soda - Had to run on it for 4 to 5 hours before it was reasonable.
The only thing that worked was VHT. I would love to find a solution that is not so expensive....

I'm looking for some suggestions on what would be the best liquid to use to increase the traction of our outdoor asphalt track here in Cancun, Mexico. It is a relatively smooth outdoor basketball court that has a deteriorating red paint on it. We try to sweep the dust off but still have spin out issues with pan cars and open wheel 2 wheel drive cars. In the USA we used sugar dissolved in water, Orange Crush, and Coca-Cola. I have a bug sprayer to apply it with. Just need to know what would give us the best results for our foam tired and rubber tired RC cars.
I use paragon and suntan lotion to treat my tires before each race
