Hi everyone,
I`m new at this forum, I live in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands is the information about these cars less, so maybe I can get more info about the cars and tuning of the cars and what the difference is between the different trades.
We also have started a homepage of RC cars in thenetherland and on this site we will explain how to make a racetrack for microsizers.
The track will be made of a rubber surface, we don`t have experience with this surface may be some have>>>>???This is the website of our rc cars:

The surface on my track is just exterior house paint, and it works pretty well. Primer/Undercoat would provide a better grip though, and would have been cheaper.
I’ve read about a few people with rubber track surfaces. I think they said the grip was more than they wanted, but they may have wanted to drift race, which is near impossible with these things anyway.
nice looking track. I notice it’s possible to cut off areas to make another 2 smaller tracks too. Nice design.

Whatabout using fine grain 1200-1600 grit sand paper? It would simulate real ashphalt.

well on my track i used blackboard paint and it has traction. plus it looks like tarmac coz its black
sometimes i can get my bit to slide the rear end but thats if i time the the corner apex with hitting of boost button. i know its not drift but it looks cool to see these things slide there rear a bit.:smiley2:

Yes full marks. Looks realy nice.
The barriers look kinda like mine, nice smooth radius’
And the grass looks kinda similar too.

i like the idea that the barriers are removable so you can make different track layouts.

The Netherlanderthal Track?
The Flying Dutchman Circuit?Naming a track is a personal thing really. Name it after your home town maybe?

name it after something or someone important, like barto’s track or bartomania.
