      your track looks a bit smaller than mine, did you get the larger or smaller tile size, 2 wide is about 1m for me and hence i can only lay down about 1/4 of the track in the living room

      Blitz Works lol that’s brutal, a lot of stairs. So you got a track?!
      I got the smaller sized tiles, I believe the smaller tiles are 30cm & larger are 50cm. I got the smaller size since the larger track needs a lot of room & I don’t have that much space yet.

I basically made the same track you have but it cost me about 90 bucks in materials. :D

      I like the smooth side, that’s why I have soft front & soft radials for extra grip. I don’t want to use the thought side since it will wear more & have more rubber dust stuff over time.

    Safe your bread. Build your own track. As you can see, you will imagine once you get good, you're gonna want to race someone. The problem with those tire is they aren't wide enough.
    If you double up on the width it would be wide enough for 4 and more car races. But imo and experimenting, that is too wide for a living room setup. But I found something that's perfect and is that twenty bucks and just looking for a solution that would make connecting my track segments seemlessly. For now they overlap at 2x paperthin

      @BMR3  4 роки тому

      The track & car are crazy grippy, I couldn't imaging how stuck the car would be with super softs.. I got soft tires so they wouldn't ware out super fast, but now I cant stop thinking about how fast super soft tires would be lol
      The car has crazy grip when exiting the corners, but I think I need to weight down the front a bit so I can make more aggressive entries on the corners. The car will flip over if i carry too much speed into a corner, so thats why I think a small weight in the front would help, but I'm not sure, it's just a suspicion.
      Do you race or drive your MR-03 much?
      Hope your staying safe & having fun with your toys ;)

      Yep the tiles are puzzle Matt’s but they are made of a special material. People on Facebook have been trying to replicate the rcp tracks with puzzle mats to varying degrees of success.

There are some of those that are smooth as well if you get a bit bigger and harder compound rubber tyres like i have on my mini z and make a track out of those i think in the summer as an outdoor track the rubber will get a bit warmer and make it even more sticky no one has ever tried that before as well maybe something to test (new video idea?)

    Can you drift on it?

      On the bigger 50cm tiles you can, but not really on this track since it’s so small. I’ll eventually post a video of my DRZ V2 drifting on this track, it’s just a lot to take it all out & assemble it.

      My first goal is to make videos that I personally want to watch, but I also like to keep subscriber requests in mind & this isn’t the first time I have heard this request 👍🏼
      Thank you for leaving the comment brother! I try to read them all & use them for video topics. Have a good day & stay safe out there man!
