Again, great job Greg, innovative, and thinking outside the box. I agree about the dNaNo’s speed. RealTracks was originally designed for the Epoch’s. With the Epochs tires and speed the surface met our design objectives. After all, RealTracks was designed to offer a scale driving experience and to slow things down so the racing line became import for the average driver with average hand eye coordination. Now with the performance of the dNaNo and the fact that RealTracks is appealing to more traditional and experienced RC racers we have to redefine that design objective to provide a surface and tire combination that provides greater traction. We are getting ready to conduct comprehensive tire and set-up testing for the dNaNos and Mini-Zs. Just as you said Arch2B, our goal is to provide the increased traction through tire composition. Tire contact patch becomes more critical with RealTracks hard surface than it does with traditional foam and carpet tracks. Tire development has focused and progressed very well for foam and carpet tracks. Since RealTracks surface is similar to slot car track, our testing is initially focusing on those particular compounds. We will get the COTS and prototype tires out for testing just as we did during track development. Thanks again Greg for your hard work and sharing it with us. Even though most RealTracks users are new to RC racing please feel free to share your thoughts and opinions with us here.
