世界賽用的地氈

Why not RCP?  Easy to clean, easy to change layout, easy on the cars (soft edges).

C hing, I am still new to Mini-Z.  Only played for a few months.  Everywhere I go, they use RCP, and always rubber tires only.  Foam is not allowed.  As I know, all major Mini-Z race use RCP.  Carpet are only used for 1/12 or 1/10 indoor tracks, and I think they are CRC carpets.  

I usually use Kyosho 30 slick front, and PN 6 or Kyosho 20 slick rear.  Front tires will be trued down to 3mm left, and it usually last about 2-3 race day.  Rear tires will last about 1 to 1.5 race day.  The car is easy to setup, and hardly see anyone drift even with 2wd.  You may need to worry about traction roll (cup 4).  It's very high traction, and that could also be the reason why most people run 2wd.  Foam could be too much traction as well.

I like it the most is that RCP won't break cars.  It's all soft edges.  I never tried to change the layout, but the owner changes every month.  I guess it's not that difficult.  Tile size is 20inchx20inch.  Our local track is 25tiles x 21tiles, about 41feetx35feet or 12.5Mx10.5M.  It's a huge track.  

Cost?  How expensive can it be?  A set like this is US$229.  Buy 5 sets would be plenty.  That's the most important investment as a racing place, and pretty much last fever.

BTW, CT and MMS usually open for fun only?  No race?  How much do they charge?

We have race every Friday and Sat.  US$8 includes practice and race.  Friday usually have about 30 people, Sat maybe 20.  Everyone joins for fun, no trophy, just result.  Age from 7 - 60.

KO race will be hosted by ILR.  They located inside a mall, and I heard this KO race will be a big race in the center of the mall instead of their store.

I usually go to Fast Pace Racing (FPR), and they have a much bigger track.
