Got my RCP-track today!
 
I got my track today and I must say I am impressed.

The quality of the track is better than I expected. The durability of the track is excellent. The barriers of the track withstand full speed hits without shifting position and my cars haven't been damaged at all.
I like having the grip or slick surface choices. I haven't tried the grip surface yet but the slick surface provides plenty of traction when using soft tires.
I also like the variety of tiles that will be released soon. I am looking forward to the off road tiles (samples were included and they are amazing!), banked tiles, and different radius turns.

Track assembly is a little tedious. The instructions could be a little more detailed. I wish I had more space to set up a larger course. I have the narrow oval set up now. All my cars seem to powerful on this small track.

I am delighted with my purchase and I am excited to try some of the larger layouts.

Reply with questions and I'll do my best to answer.

I got my track today.....2 hours to setup....but that included moving around some furniture. I tried it with a few different setups. The spinbrush motor (with 11 tooth pinion) seems to over power the track. I don't have time to react. (of course that could be because of my rookie status and my age....LOL) Anyway I digress... I did the best with a stock motor, 2WD, the 4.5 steering and stiff suspension. All in All I would say that this track is well worth the 200 bucks I dropped on it. If you have the room, get ya one.

I wish I had the space to setup a layout like that. :mad:

jaubery 01-27-2004 08:54 PM

My favorite setup is similar to yours. RSX with awd, 4.5 tierod, stage 2 drift motor, treaded soft tires, and stiff suspension all around.

I am still having trouble hooking up my 2wd stage 2 drag motor car. It really flies on the track but like you said it's really difficult to control.

Have you tried the foam tires? I did and I think the soft slicks or treads hook up better.

rlc77 01-27-2004 09:01 PM

No I don't have a set of foam yet but they are on my list. I didn't get much time to drive last night and tonight I got no track time. I will be trying different things to find what works best for me. All 3 cars had the soft treads on them that I drove last night. I still have allot of tires and suspension to try. Now I just need a few more hours in the day and I'll be all set.

jaubery 01-27-2004 11:07 PM

I had about an hour of track time today. My rsx is really hooking up now but I still have to back off before each turn. I like the drift motor a lot. When you hit a wall you can power back up to speed quickly. Are you using the grip or foam side of your track?

rlc77 01-28-2004 05:32 AM

The grip side.

about how big is the tack because if it would fit I could maybe talk my dad into one thanks

That's how the pros do it... they slow down for the turns!:D

jaubery 01-28-2004 09:26 PM

I would like it better if I could simply bury the throttle and steer! lol.
