What To Expect When You Order RCP Mini96 Track Mini-Z Micro RC

[@BlitzWorks]

'woah i did not think this through' - this sums up this entire hobby

[@BeaversHobby]

We've all been there at some point. Some of us still does it all the time. 😁

[@BMR3]

😂😂😂

[@BlitzWorks]

@@BMR3 woah i did not think this through, track arrived and just had to get it up 6 flights of stairs your track looks a bit smaller than mine, did you get the larger or smaller tile size, 2 wide is about 1m for me and hence i can only lay down about 1/4 of the track in the living room

[@BMR3]

Blitz Works lol that’s brutal, a lot of stairs. So you got a track?! I got the smaller sized tiles, I believe the smaller tiles are 30cm & larger are 50cm. I got the smaller size since the larger track needs a lot of room & I don’t have that much space yet.

[@BlitzWorks]

@@BMR3 I did want the larger track as there are less inter tile protrusions, track set up and ready for a run tomorrow and $SECRET project next time i will read the notice that says '5m by 3m' turns out a square package can be rolled up hills, i was concerned when the shipping company turned up in their largest van and request help to move the package

[@LionTree]

I own a Wide-L and a Wide-Oval. Now that San Antonio has brand new mini-Z scene (thanks to RCHQ) I'm going to set up so my sons and I can practice!

[@BMR3]

Oh man thats the best! It makes me happy to hear you can share this with your son :) I still have about a decade until I can enjoy that side of life Good luck & have fun! let me know if you have any questions or if i can be of assistance.

[@dayday7285]

You can just swap the wheels, no need to swap the tires. I have a Mini96 as well, but took out 2 of the hairpins and made the straight longer. Congrats

[@BMR3]

The rear wheels I can swap, but the fronts were actually installed backwards. You can see the grove on the outside of the tire so I need to reinstall those one. I’m loving the mini96 track & cant wait to play with different configurations

[@tlfbshti364]

Man, just the amount of excitement you have put a smile on my face! What an awesome wife you have for recommending you get a track, you're a lucky man for sure Mr. BMR, I can't wait to see some more laps!

[@BMR3]

I’m incredibly fortunate, my wife is my best friend & biggest supporter. I’m super pumped for the track, it opens up a new aspect to mini-z I never expected to experience & it’s awesome. I need to play with the camera set up & I’ll post some videos doing hot laps. Hopefully I will be able to keep the car off the walls long enough to do a couple clean laps 😂

[@ruftime]

Congrats on the new track and cool wife! I got both too😎

[@BMR3]

We are part of an exclusive group! Happy wife happy life, but the wife keeps me happy In return.

[@sindbadsailor7868]

Finally you drive it... i made my own track from evamat, it’s some kind of mat for baby ground... but the problem is the surface is not really flat, since it’s joint really tight and not has the same thickness... i put some tape to make it slightly flat...

[@BMR3]

Good idea on the tape, I have found that shipping/packing tape works great for bridging two uneven surfaces. Plus it’s nice & smooth so the car will slide like nothing is there.

[@ringod123]

Woo, shout out for me! :D another great vid man, keep it up!

[@BMR3]

Thank you for the help my friend! I appreciate your supporting my videos & watching closely enough to notice tire treads we’re going the wrong way!! Shout out is the least I could do, have a wonderful day man!!

[@Obiwancunningham]

Awesome channel, can't wait to get in to Mini Z. Subscribed for sure!

[@NeoIsrafil]

So i....might have bought the eva foam tiles at harborfreight (anti-fatigue tiles) for 9 bucks for 4 and built a track with pvc pipes for straight rails and pva for curves, zip ties, and foam insulation tape to protect my paint job. I basically made the same track you have but it cost me about 90 bucks in materials. :D My first iteration was the same design as yours, my second is 2 24 inch tiles wide for REALLY high speed racing with the family...

[@pekwalker]

I just ordered one of these as well as an EasyLap Timing system. Fun times.

[@BMR3]

I still need to get a timing system, its the main reason I dont use my track much

[@ggjflyguy]

purchased 4 of the wide L sets, we set up a HFAY track in the driveway, i have video on my channel about it. i love the RCP track, especially now with all the COVID stuff going on.

[@BMR3]

Nice start for a track! That’s going to be high speed & a whole lot of fun! Wish I had more space so I could pick up more speed

[@GarageMiniRCUK]

Yes! joined the track team.... I knew you would 😂

[@BMR3]

Lol yeah you saw that coming from a mile away 😂 I’m loving being a part of the RCP team, so much fun! Can’t wait to start tuning ;)

[@youknoweverything7643]

Go and get big plastic storage bins from home depot they are like 8 bucks or 9 and this track I fit it into 4 of them bins and they stack nicely so easy to store in a garage or a big storage closet/hallway

[@masterchief586]

I plan on buying on of those tracks with an upgrade add on set very soon.

[@BMR3]

Yup for sure get the expansion kits, these tracks are a lot of fun but you really need more space to let the cars stretch their legs.

[@masterchief586]

@@BMR3 I plan on putting it in my garage 40x30 space and air-conditioned.

[@Mike_Greene]

Safe your bread. Build your own track. As you can see, you will imagine once you get good, you're gonna want to race someone. The problem with those tire is they aren't wide enough. If you double up on the width it would be wide enough for 4 and more car races. But imo and experimenting, that is too wide for a living room setup. But I found something that's perfect and is that twenty bucks and just looking for a solution that would make connecting my track segments seemlessly. For now they overlap at 2x paperthin

[@TriAdX]

one side of the track is high traction / rough and the other side is smooth.. you have some one way, and some another...

[@yuliux72]

Oh! Friend that I envy, take me with you to the quarantine and we have some races? je je je a hug take care, I love the track, will you have to investigate how you could also use it to drive? it's just a suggestion!!!

[@BMR3]

LOL I cant believe I have a track & RWD car now, its like a dream. I plan on making lots of videos about this track :) Stay safe & take care man!

[@mini-zph2360]

[@stevesachuk1636]

Welcome to the club. Turn some of your tiles. The groves on the tile face should be face up, should have some texture not smooth

[@BMR3]

I like the smooth side, that’s why I have soft front & soft radials for extra grip. I don’t want to use the thought side since it will wear more & have more rubber dust stuff over time. Smooth works fine for me, I’m racing anyone yet & the car has plenty of grip. I can always flip them later if needed

[@rileysutherland956]

Looking to get one of these. This is very helpful. Thanks!

[@JakeDogg-RIP]

Comments are great for the algorithm too, even better than likes I think, but likes help, and dislikes are bad for it also

[@BMR3]

Appreciate the comment & support brother!

[@MARKLINMAN1]

Looks good. I love mini Z racing.

[@BMR3]

Thank you brother! Have a good day & go bash some doors 😼

[@waichan3842]

Looks awesome!! Just wonder the track can extend (combine) with other track? Also it would be great if we can break down in half so it can put under the bed for easy to store instead of breakdown everything..

[@miniracersus]

NICE! Thats massive. A lot larger than I expected.lol

[@BMR3]

Bahaha that was my thought exactly! I'm so happy it fits in the living room :)

[@killagorilaaa5682]

Got one of those def get the mini xpansion set . Def worth it... I plan on getting the chicane turn

[@BMR3]

I would love to get expansions so I could have some wider corners & carry more speed. Unfortunately I'm completely maxed out with the mini96 track, lol it barley fits in my living room.

[@tysonharrison2566]

Is the 50 piece track even worth buying?

[@jamesmmm]

NICE, just come across your 2 yr old video, did you manage to find a way to store them? I just ordered mine and wondering what's the best way to store them without disassemble the whole thing so it will be easier to put back together. I also have 3 cats at home so putting it away everytime is a must (don't wanna get destroy by them). great video bro

[@bigfootnintendorazr]

Thanks for this video!

[@wheelsoncars]

👍👍👍

[@CarCrazyGhost]

i was thinking of starting a *club* for racing because they have a local shop that races fridays i cant make it because of work... was this track worth it?

[@Auranapse]

That's awesome :D If only I had the space for a track. Looking forward to more videos :P

[@BMR3]

Man it was sooo close! I literally have 1 inch on each side & the couch is pushed all the way agains the wall 😂 but hey it fits! :) I’m having so much fun! I have never driven a RWD RC race car so this completely new to me, I have a lot a lot a lot to learn! I need to get my driving skills dialed in, then I can tune the car ;) expect RWD videos like my drift build videos.

[@Auranapse]

@@BMR3 That'll be sick. You should also try putting the grippy tires on your AWD Mini Zs, especially the MA030EVO. They handle different on track compared to RWD and are very fun in their own way :P

[@BMR3]

Yep that’s the plan for down the road, I tired to drive it with drift tires but the track is too narrow. I’m looking forward to building some AWD touring cars :) may need to add some new ponies to the stable! Can be swapping between setups, gotta have dedicated chassis ;) lol I’m out of control XD

[@WillieBeard]

Thanks guys

[@SpinRush]

Do you believe this track could be setup and then taken apart in the same day?

[@BMR3]

Yep no problem, it takes me about 45min to set it up (if it’s fully broken apart) & then about 20min to store it back up in my containers. I also take forever to set up my track since I’m ocd about the cracks. You could probably set it up in 20min if properly motivated.

[@andykasim5922]

Hi, is it a 30x30 cm sized tile?

[@BMR3]

Yeah this is the smaller 30cm tiles, I don’t recommend them. Way to tight for proper driving with a mini-z

[@andykasim5922]

Have you heard about sinohobby racetrack? It is a copy of rcp

[@BMR3]

@@andykasim5922 I have not so I cannot advise. My apologies

[@BeaversHobby]

Congrats on having an awesome piece of kit, both track and the car. Looks really grippy and it has very good layout as well.

[@BMR3]

The track & car are crazy grippy, I couldn't imaging how stuck the car would be with super softs.. I got soft tires so they wouldn't ware out super fast, but now I cant stop thinking about how fast super soft tires would be lol The car has crazy grip when exiting the corners, but I think I need to weight down the front a bit so I can make more aggressive entries on the corners. The car will flip over if i carry too much speed into a corner, so thats why I think a small weight in the front would help, but I'm not sure, it's just a suspicion. Do you race or drive your MR-03 much? Hope your staying safe & having fun with your toys ;)

[@bmg052491]

Hey, looking at this track. Do you need to build the entire thing out each time or can you make it shorter / smaller to accommodate a smaller space?

[@BMR3]

You don’t have to build it out fully but then it would be super tight & hard to drive. This size is pushing it (I have the smaller size tiles)

[@warmfreeze]

most of the guys at my local track purposely put the radials on "backwards" because they get more grip *supposedly* personally i dont see ANY difference and think the entire claim that they are directional is a crock at such a small scale and shouldn't make any difference unless you are driving it in the rain in which case the argument is stupid...LOL

[@ezrabarton8236]

What is mini z racing

[@pmm4177]

Too bad these tracks went up $100 in the last 2 months. What are the overall dimensions of the outside of the track? Length and width?

[@BMR3]

Price increase is due to tariffs & the trade war with China. Personally I’m fine paying the increased price, & hopefully it will encourage a US manufacturer to produce these tiles. Dimensions are: 8 feet by 12 feet

[@pmm4177]

@@BMR3 awesome bud thank you, I've been working on a DIY track out of eva foam tiles, I have enough for a 12' × 8' track but from what I've read online grip is an issue until the tiles have been used enough to be worn in so I may just have to break down and get one of these mini tracks and maybe the expansion kit for it

[@BMR3]

pmm4177 I highly recommend the rcp track, grip on the smooth side is out of control with soft tires! The quality of the foam is very good but it’s also easy to damage if your not careful. If you have the money for an expansion kit & the room this little kit could be amazing. You could reconfigure some really fun layouts. Oh yeah, just as a heads up I have the 30cm tiles not the 50cm tiles, that track would be considerably larger.

[@pmm4177]

@@BMR3 yeah our local club has the 50cm tile track but I guess if you can get good on the 30cm tile track you'll be good on a bigger one

Where did you purchase the track and how much please...👍

[@BMR3]

I got lucky, found it from the Walmart online. Normally $310.00 but I got it on sale for $280

[@jarrettmaltry6305]

Holy Christ 800$ for this track!? Aren’t the tiles just puzzle mats? Given the bumpers are kinda hard to DIY but my god not 800$ hard

[@BMR3]

This one in the video is about $280, I think the larger 50cm tracks are a bit more expensive but I’m not sure where you got the $800 number. You should be able to get the larger size track with at least 1 or two expansion kits for $800. Yep the tiles are puzzle Matt’s but they are made of a special material. People on Facebook have been trying to replicate the rcp tracks with puzzle mats to varying degrees of success. If you have the diy skills you could make a much better home track with plywood & carpet for a fraction of the cost.

[@williehaywood3624]

Not trying to sound crazy but what kind of carpet would be best to use if your looking into making your own track?

[@Retrograde99]

Didn’t talk about the price 😬

[@BMR3]

Prices very significantly depending on where you buy & when. It seems like the prices on these tracks have skyrocketed due to the lock downs.

[@Retrograde99]

@@BMR3 well not only that i think those foam matts you can buy of amazon and make the railings yourself for my 10 to 20 Procent the price especialy now whit the fact that many people are stuck at home like you said i gues it's more of like if you are too lazy to make it yourself company we got it here for you but i gues it also makes it so when you do competetive races you know no one has messed whit the tracks or anything not that i know of how you would be able to do that but yeah

[@BMR3]

@@Retrograde99 Yep you can use the cheep puzzle mats from Amazon or Harbor Freight & make railings yourself. I see a lot of people use those mats & cut up pool noodles or hoses for the track barriers/railing. But this rcp a is different type of foam from the puzzle mats, they are somewhat similar but the rcp has a lot more grip & like you said, offers more consistency for racers.

[@Retrograde99]

@@BMR3 i have an idea maybe the tiles of the original track have like a textue right? Well at least the tiles from amazon have that diamond patern if you look on the side where the tiles connect it supposed to feel different because it has no texture and is from what i think grippier if you sand down the texture that is on top you wil have that smooth texture that is on the side as in the side where you can see the thickness to be clear just no one has ever tryed that before and also you know those rubber tiles from the playground? There are some of those that are smooth as well if you get a bit bigger and harder compound rubber tyres like i have on my mini z and make a track out of those i think in the summer as an outdoor track the rubber will get a bit warmer and make it even more sticky no one has ever tried that before as well maybe something to test (new video idea?)
