The closest and easiest is Senayan JITC track. Surrounded by 5 star and 4 star hotels, up scale shopping malls, and easy access for anybody.

Good things about playing RC in Indonesia :

- Porters ( to carry your stuffs from car parking to track )
- Cleaners & Marshalling service ( to pick up your cars and clean the cars )
- Mechanics service ( he is your pitman during race, and does small jobs )
- Delivery Service ( just shout and anything you said will be on table, for examples, drinks, foods, glowplugs, tires, fuel, belts, parts etc. )

Tips for mechanics $7 to $10 if you win.
Tips for cleaners & marshalling $2
Tips for porters $1
Tips for delivery service : no tips

We have good life in here......

Las Vegas style. Girls are everywhere looking for expatriates with deep pockets. Usually they engaged for 6 months contract

Here is a little story. I have an american expatriate friend working in Jakarta, for oil drilling company. He lived here in Jakarta for 5 years. When his company in USA replace him with somebody else...... he cried. He makes all kind of excuse for not being replace..... why ?

Here is why ? In his house ( rented by the company ), he has swimming pool, drivers, maids, security guards. So when he go back to California, he has NO more amenities : drive alone, wash laundry, no personal secretary, no young girls look after him after work, etc.

Ditto stories with Japanese expatriates. When they are replaced....... they think subway and small house back in Tokyo.

if you are looking for side belts, the kyosho side belt works on the car. I've been running them for 5 months

Having problems with the front outdrives and the skyline cvd's. The cvd's seem to have worn a groove in the outdrives the cvd's shaft pins that go into the outdrives have worn into an oval shape. I think there is too much play between these two parts but is this normal? Are there better made aftermarket parts to resolve this issue?

I have been running the Mugen ones all summer and they look the same as yours. Very worn out but I bet that they have at least 5 gals. of fuel thru them. I don't think that I can ask for more then that.
