Agreed , and Craig (the owner) is a great guy too deal with if you have a problem . I doubt Robitronic has much of a CS department .....

More updates on the indoor track will be posted as soon as they are available.
Indoor dimensions will be about 13 x 30, and will be 1/18 scale.
For now, we have come up with a name, and here's a short clip of our indoor track location.
Outdoor track is now finished!
Let us know what you think!

+ YouTube Video

I still have the mini Track up and going for this year. Going to give it good Clean and get the Pit's and Driver stand done this spring. i was going to do Transponder and try to get a club race thing going but mini's are dead. me and some buddy just race on the weekend for fun.
