Its astro turf, The Southport outdoor off road track. at the moment I have a 7.4v 5000mah 40c lipo, other than that its pretty much straight out of the box lol
I am about 8 - 10 seconds off the pace per lap, everyone blasts past me on the straight and I have no hope of catching up at the moment!!
I have bought some wheels off of one of the more experienced guys who has sorted me with some sets he does not use, they are schumacher mini spike tyres for the rear and some schumacher cut staggers for the front, both for wet and dry conditions on the track. They helped a lot, but I have had to have a play with the suspension to stop it grip rolling on every corner!!
I have also tried putting a strip of lead under the battery tray, I was told it would help, but tbh I think the extra weight has just made it a bit sluggish and it was no stallion to begin with!! lol however.....the handling has improved significantly since putting it in there.
Thats about it really, the radio gear is the standard rtr 2.4g stuff that comes with the car when you buy it, I may not have the knowlage to comment on how good or bad it is yet, but it is nice to use.
The shop I got it from sent it with an 11.1v soft lipo pack, I was quickly informed that it was not allowed to be used during a race or on the track cos of the regulations and safety re:lipo's TBH I was gutted cos I asked the guys to send me a pack I could take to the track and race with. I should have done more research really as this had to be replaced before I could use the car.
