[QUOTE=chalky;396158]anything like crimefighter or bow tie
we used j concept subcultures at the weekend and they worked well the thing is ive done about 100 laps on the twin roller, so the surface is about as well packed down as you could get, so you only have to drive the track and negotiate its features. its not like the surface of mars(the planet) where you may find a new rock at every turn. at the moment with the rain and the fact we water the track if its thirsty tyre wear seams minimal totally agree you dont have to fight the track to keep the car on its wheels through ruts bumps and pot holes one of the best tracks i have ever been to and if they keep it in the condition it was at last weeks meet it will not be long before its one of the countrys biggest clubs its needed up here and is still very accessable and easy to get to, also the owner land lord seems like a good guy who actually races 1/8 scale |

Your not wrong john, what a great track. I deffinately need to get some correct tyres tho, i was sliding around all over the place on my angle spikes and mini spikes, was still great fun. Pleased with the speed down the straight, just as fast as the nitro boys.

I might have a pop down some time, I've not had chance to run my 8th since the Neo
Is there going to be anything on between now and the September meeting besides the Thursday nights? I can't make them because of work How loose is the surface? I've got a couple of part worn sets of JC DD's from the Neo I'd like to see off |

no only thursday nights
its just happened very quickley and we`ve got holidays in august thats why september is the next one but we will be looking at putting a calendar together with a meeting and a practice day once a month over the winter months maybe even more surface is watered or rained on but smooth, not a million miles away from neo surface

Well done to everyone involved in the building and running of the MMRX track, it's such a fun layout I could have driven round all day on Sunday
I need to get some more tyres ordered now for the September meeting, Green Subcultures were the business! |

Was there last sunday and the track is ace and I am chuffed to bits that there is a dirt track in Yorkshire.
A massive thumbs up for everyone getting this track setup, |

Ooh a friend mentioned this to me earlier, looks great. Finally a track I can cycle to. I'll have to pop down one thursday evening with my x1 cr after work lol. Only problem is I work 10-6 on a thursday. Never done any racing in my life, and the x1 is my basher so if I find that I like it, another 8IGHT is coming after a real car haha. I live very near Dave G, so I should be good for weather reports too. Sorry that this is one of my first posts, don't browse oople often .

This track looks incredible even to a newbie like me. I've just bought myself a 1/8th nitro and have been looking for a good track (getting a bit lonely in the local park) so this looks real... but before I come down can someone let me know about tyres and the like. I know very little and my tyres are pretty much bald now so which should I look at buying?
Cheers Adam |

JConcepts Green (Super Soft) Compound Subcultures are very good around MMRX, they lasted longer than the Blue (Soft) compound Crow-Bow's I tried when I was there last as they were usable right the way down to the carcass - the Crow-Bow combination seemed to loose their edge at about half tread.
MB Models have been keeping them in stock recently although they sell out quickly! |

Thanks Richard. I never realised there were so many to choose from! I'll get myself over to MB and get myself sorted. Will I need anything else like extra crystals? (or is that something that went out with the ark?)
Cheers Adam |
