I'm no.1 for the moment - one more race to go, at the Greek National Championship Off Road 1/10 4WD and have been racing a badly tuned hybrid Schumacher CAT2000 - CAT98 - CAT3000 which you can see on the photo! I just wait HB D4 to arrive here in Greece and get one for next year's Championship!

Please give me some info on how to prepare a track surface like the one in the picture with Hara - Worls Japan, because we are preparing a new track over here and would need some help. On every other track we have made, it becomes very dusty and bumpy after a simple race day and we were wondering if we make something like that is it going to have better wear resistance???
Hi Billy,
You are fortunate to have great weather to produce a great surface - except for grass I guess.

The trick to making the dirt/clay stick together, and not turn dusty or bumpy is regular watering between heats - and laying down SUGAR, and watering it into the surface. This will produce a solid surface which is extremely high bite even with worn tyres, the type of surface which will suit the Losi tyre - BK Bars.

Anyway, there is plenty more knowledge from others who visit this forum, so expect lots of ideas

Chris
