Hey arch I have another question regarding the two types of track's. RCP's and RealTracks which one is easier to store? I would think RealTracks as it look's thinner than RCP? Does it take less room?

Leave it on the floor! It's like having a glass of wine (or beer) in your table: always ready when you want to satisfy yourself ;-)

realtracks stacks in a much smaller space compared to rcp however is much heavier when stacked.

As I live with Dad, I don't have the opp to leave it in place. Thus one reason I sold the RCP track. I'm thinking of Realtracks because of what arch just said. It is more stackable and takes up smaller space.
I think one issue my Dad had with the RCP track was it just took too much room to store. Even though I had it stored under my computer desk, it was still a lot to put away.
I sold it because with 2 year old Irish Setter who is full of energy, would probably destroy the RCP track. I'm hoping RealTracks would be more durable. Then again, the dog is afraid of my micro helicopters when I fly them so chances are he might leave the track alone. But if not in use and just sitting on the floor, I'd hate for it to be wrecked by dog running across it.
So, looking for something durable and easy to put away.

My RCP track on oneside of my living room:

Some how the Porsche look's so much nicer in silver than white. I hope to get the silver AutoScale soon to replace my white one. I thought I'd like the white one better.

Well, after 10 packs or so the stock diff needs some help. First i tought it was the mesh btw pinion and diff. But later realized that the diff sometimes, at very very low rev, got stuck. Where's my grease?....
Now i'm using 35F 10R. For me it's ok...

Track looks great in your living room. Nice pic of the car on the track.

I think the Mini-96 kit is a perfect fit to scale for the dNaNo. If you layout the track incorporating long straights, there is no need to hold back. With a good set of soft rubber tires, the textured side can handle any speed you throw at it. The tracks will provide a perfect platform for the RCP 2010 dNaNo cup series events.

The dNaNo RTR's and auto scales are not cheap and the soft side rails really help protect your investment. I can see your son up against one in the pic.:)

The texture side is really great. But even greater are the rails! For me, the best feature that RCP track has, because not all guys that run Dnano are serious racers and the rails are a big help.

Still have that little bumping in the rear when turning but i think with more weight in the back will resolve that.

Nuno

I agree with your statement RCP. When I had my Mini96 and Dnano's last year, I found the Dnano's more suited on the track than the Mini-Z's. I found the Mini-Z's almost too big and the track too tight. Dnano's were a lot of fun on that track. Wish I had the space to leave it up permanently.

Awesome track, Nuno. I'm jonesing for one terribly, but probably too cheap to have one shipped to Hong Kong. I'll probably go a DIY route. Still, thanks to everyone for all the info in this thread. I pray that RCP track makes it to Toys R Us in HK! But I'm not counting on it! ;)

Well, I've been out for the last couple of days but yesterday i've returned to my pratice.

One thing that i noted is that every time i turn on the Tx i've got to trim my steering and end points. Is that normal? I supposed that once trimmed you would never have to trim again...

Thanks
Nuno

I check the trim, every time I turn the TX on. I some times check it again during a run. It doesn't take but a few seconds and things do tend to get off their original settings.

To maintain a good track, besides vacumm regulary, what else can i do?

Thanks,
Nuno
