Grape pop for traction? That cannot be good for non box-stock ESCs...

He's right. Rootbeer in the parking lot is the ticket. VTA and SC10 were hooked up.

Right I remember running an oval race at the Lake County Fairgrounds when they used orange soda as their traction "bringer upper". But that was on a concrete floor, he said that it is going to be run on a vinyl tile floor. Plus wont dirt and all sorts of crumbs and junk get caked in the tires?

Count me in for stock slash and maybe 1/18th.

How about a Trans AM class, and some open 1/10 or R/C.G.T not limited to tamiya and a silver can motor.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one. Because our parkinglot is so slippery we have gone through every possible combination and for us we have found grape to work the best
