Hey Folks...The track I run on has been retopped with sifted red clay and has gone from the crusty topsoil which would rut up on race day to a very hardpacked running surface which is usually coverd with a fine layer of dust when dry and super tacky when damp. I don't know if these little cars weigh enough to lay down a blue groove, but if they do we should be getting there soon. I've made some changes to my original setup for the new surface and so far it's working pretty well. I've gone back to the stock tires and they work so much better on this surface than the prolines do. I wish Losi made tires for the MI's
