Not my department I'm afraid. But I bet it wouldn't hurt (they do it in motorsport)

Not a serious breakage then........................ Yet.

Ive just had a look over my RS4 N2 Pro to see what it needs to get it track ready again.

Not much really...

Wheels/tyres 26mm (ive got loads of 24's)
New FM Receiver
New failsafe
New fuel/ glowplug
New receiver pack

With that little lot she should be good to go..

Daz you'll have to get the touring car up to spec and we can set up a proper track in a multistorey maybe.

Good little blast last night with the car.

Finally broke something though Not bad considering the amount of runs it has done with no real issues.

Only a small dog-bar so will be a cheap fix Just need to get one from some where.

This looks like great fun, and I've just given 4 old RC cars (2 nitro, 2 electric) + all my old gear to the kids next door - damn.

Looks like I might have to invest in a new one - found this:
