Got my RCP-track today!
I got my track today and I must say I am impressed.
The quality of the track is better than I expected. The durability of the track is excellent. The barriers of the track withstand full speed hits without shifting position and my cars haven't been damaged at all.
I like having the grip or slick surface choices. I haven't tried the grip surface yet but the slick surface provides plenty of traction when using soft tires.
I also like the variety of tiles that will be released soon. I am looking forward to the off road tiles (samples were included and they are amazing!), banked tiles, and different radius turns.
Track assembly is a little tedious. The instructions could be a little more detailed. I wish I had more space to set up a larger course. I have the narrow oval set up now. All my cars seem to powerful on this small track.
I am delighted with my purchase and I am excited to try some of the larger layouts.
Reply with questions and I'll do my best to answer.

I got my track today.....2 hours to setup....but that included moving around some furniture. I tried it with a few different setups. The spinbrush motor (with 11 tooth pinion) seems to over power the track. I don't have time to react. (of course that could be because of my rookie status and my age....LOL) Anyway I digress... I did the best with a stock motor, 2WD, the 4.5 steering and stiff suspension. All in All I would say that this track is well worth the 200 bucks I dropped on it. If you have the room, get ya one.

I wish I had the space to setup a layout like that.

My favorite setup is similar to yours. RSX with awd, 4.5 tierod, stage 2 drift motor, treaded soft tires, and stiff suspension all around.
I am still having trouble hooking up my 2wd stage 2 drag motor car. It really flies on the track but like you said it's really difficult to control.
Have you tried the foam tires? I did and I think the soft slicks or treads hook up better.

No I don't have a set of foam yet but they are on my list. I didn't get much time to drive last night and tonight I got no track time. I will be trying different things to find what works best for me. All 3 cars had the soft treads on them that I drove last night. I still have allot of tires and suspension to try. Now I just need a few more hours in the day and I'll be all set.

I had about an hour of track time today. My rsx is really hooking up now but I still have to back off before each turn. I like the drift motor a lot. When you hit a wall you can power back up to speed quickly. Are you using the grip or foam side of your track?

That's how the pros do it... they slow down for the turns!
