Yes, that's it ...although I haven't made any for a few years. It's a Porta-Trax, made from Ozite racing carpet ... the whole thing rolls up and fits under your arm. These should be much cheaper for me to ship into the US than the Mini-Z tracks; which I sold primarily in Canada because of high ship costs.
I just wish the market were larger to make manufacturing the track kits more than just a sideline ..let's hope the dNano takes off; although without a $99 price point I'm skeptical of the eventual market size.
And yes, it's not to be confused with the above poster's product, which looks completely different. - Lorne

Lorne, maybe start a new thread w/ more info on the Porta-Trax to prevent confusion w/ Miles' RealTracks system?

...will do. I'll stay out of this thread unless asked a specific question and start a new one once I get some cars and do some initial testing. - Lorne

just got the new wide curves today! set up a big nascar oval and did a few laps with both a dnano and a mini z ! track works great! just make sure you keep your tires clean! I run foam on my mini and it sticks like glue!

Sweet! It takes some practice, it’s much more like really racing, you can’t just go flying around the track you’ve really got to pay attention to your speed and your line. and you'll want high grip tires

Woah. I normally use harder tires in the front than in the back. I use 50 upfront and 40 in the back.
It all depends on what surface you're running on. The tires are only a buck or two, get a few sets and see what you like best.

Not here in the US. I can only find them on eBay for $10 for 4 tires including shipping.

everybody's got their favorite set up! I like to drop the the body real low and have super sticky tires!

I believe, and this could vary from car to car, but my F40 came with 50s all around out of the box.

The rears on mine seem to be quite sticky. The fronts aren't bad like the ones that come on Mini Z's but they are not as sticky as the rears... The Mini Z stock tires are no good.
