I can give you his report...
"The car handles like a dream, it HUG every corners and JUMPS like a train, i.e. 4 wheels planted in the mud. I don't understand why other people can't set their cars because they fly everywhere and over jumps. Instruction manuals like a dream because even I can build a Buggy out of it. And original settings kick ass as long as I drive like a 80 year old women. I've lap every one on the track by standing still and the car is dam durable. Those idiots keep jumping six feet in the air and landing. The tyres also will last at least 10 years if you don't run them...etc..etc.."

Default Wanchai RC Track

There is a small RC track in Wanchai at a public park. The track is very greasy and appears to have little traction but since it is just a 5 minute walk from my office it would afford me some much needed practice time. My question is can anyone recommend a set up for this track? I have an Xray T1R and would assume a relatively soft set up would help. What about tires? Can I get any grip with rubber or do I need to run foam? What shore?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Default Power Supplies

Who has good deals on power supplies in Hong Kong. I am after a 240v ac input and 12v dc out put with 45amps. I need it to run 2 chargers a dyno and tyre and motor lathe. Not all at once but the more the better.

Why practise there? It won't help to improve your skill.

45 amps . The shipping will take 30% of your cost. Is it worth to get here? And ppl who own this big paper weigh won't let it go.

As a former dirt track racer (real cars, not r/c) I found that driving on poor traction surfaces improved both throttle and car control. You may be right and this track is undriveable but I'll give it a try anyway. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

Thanks.

Thanks, I plan to. Seems that since my company relocated me to HK I've been doing nothing but working.
