Well, now i have to talk to my kids an offer them another wii game so they can flip the track (and change the rails...thank god i'm not using the male-don't-remember-the-name-in-english to secure the rails).
But do you think that the smooth side won't work at all? At least i read here someone telling that they are using that side because it felt better.
By the way, your RCP Track is absolutely great. If anyone has any doubts about it, they just have to forget it. Absolutely great!
Thanks,

You can use either side. I would guess that 20% of our customers use the smooth side and 80% use the textured side. I like the textured side because it has a porus surface that allows the dust to settle lower than the top surface fibers. It allows for a more consistant surface without having the dust settling on the track and having to clean it after every few runs. I also think the tiles mesh together better with the textured side up and looks better this way. The cutting tools cut from top to bottom and we have the textured side facing up during the cutting process. Cutting the top surface first allows for a better looking mesh with what ever surface is cut first.
I don't use the top threaded PINS, when running my dNaNo's. The cars aren't really heavy enough to lift the rails. My kids don't mind setting up the track. I store the track with the rails attached and they enjoy putting the pieces together. Must be a kid thing.
