I just ordered the mini96 track to practice when I can not get to Parklane. My plan is to keep it portable, setting up at a park or other open space with the hopes of meeting others that would be interested in running these. I do plan on getting a timing system once I work out track setup. From what I understand, once all the bumpers are attached, track setup goes pretty quick. I plan on doing the Mini96 World Challenge that can be found on FB. I already have a laptop so if I charge everything up before heading out, I should be good for a few hours at a time. I have also reached out to local rec centers and other places in hopes of finding somewhere indoors from time to time. If any of this sounds like something u would be interested in, message back.
I am potentially interested. Right now I am leaning toward 1/10th. I already got a Radiomaster MT12 to try out in a simulator. I did find that racing isn't easy! The MT12 can be made to work with Mini-Z though so it wouldn't be a loss. Is it possible to set up the Mini-Z track outside? How flat does the pavement (or grass?) under it have to be?
