    For handling setup, notice they have longer straights and some 90-degree corners as compared to the ASCC track. A green/24z crown may be useful, esp. since we are running at 12v it may the best compromise to take advantage of the longer straights and yet be manageable in the corners (plus have good handling on our/the ASCC track).

    We need details on their track, esp. if it is plastic (i.e the one with the SCX skirt) and what brand (indicating the grip and what tires we should run (30s or 22s)). It would also help to know braid depth if routed, or more significantly rail height if it’s plastic (it would affect axle height adjustment). Hopefully it is just be their old routed track painted black (used to be gray/green when it was in the back of PA Watson’s Katy Slots in 2014)???

    Note: The material is hard to tell from the pictures (the obviously routed black track -with the two Nascars- appears to be one they are/were re-building).

    At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
