Finiti-Trax Review
Shadowranger asked me to review his Finiti-Trax for him which can be found on the link below. He sent me two VS-40 track kits which retail on the site for $79.99 each. That price point includes shipping! Here is a picture of both tracks packaged together as they were shipped. finiti-trax

The track sets up pretty easily by using the bolts and washers to attach the sturdy foam barriers to the track. The actual track foam is very light and smooth. They are much lighter than the fatigue mats found at Wal-Mart and Pep Boys.

Pros:
1. Easy to setup.
2. Comparable cost to other competition tracks.
3. Versatile design, many layouts possible.
4. Huge modding potential, see 1 in cons.
5. Easily stored.
6. Foam rails don’t punish the cars and promote good driving to win.
Cons:
1. Very bare bones, could use some decals/stickers and the corners should come striped in red like the tracks on the site.
2. Not quite as good quality as some tracks, but very good quality none the less. Since this company is just starting, support for expansion kits is not there yet but I expect it will be soon. The Finiti-track kits are a good value.
Very nice, affordable tracks, perfect for Epoch Indoor Racers and Mini - Zs. I don’t think Shadowranger ever mentioned that the shipping was included and that is a huge selling point. You can get a professional track kit to your door for less than $80. For my track tests, I used two stock epochs, a stock overland, a modded MR-01 Mini-Z (x-speed motor, bearings, upgrade tires), and two fully hopped up X-mods. The X-mods were the only ones that had trouble making the turns on the 2 VS-40 layout because of their wide turn radius. Finiti-Trax offers track kits with wider lanes which would solve this problem. The 2 VS-40 layouts performed well for the Mini-Zs. This is the perfect Epoch track.
8.5 / 10

Out of Business?
I also own one of their tracks and it works well but from what I can tell, the company has been out of business for a little while now. If anybody has an update, be sure to post!
