Nice demo.

Although the cars are extremely sensitive to inputs when used with anything but a pistolgrip controller.

I tried out the drifting part of the program with the same setup I use. The only exception is the powerplant I use is electric.

I'm not sure if they have the weight balance programed right or they've given the tires too much grip.. but something is definitely amiss.

You can use this if you want to hook up your own controller.

That looks pretty cool. They have a rc to usb adaptor something like that at the LHS but no one here had used one so I was waiting to see if they work. now I'll have to get one. Thanks.

I thought that was cool, and looked into the that Virtual RC before. I personally think their USB adaptor is a bit over priced, and the program shouldn't cost as much as some RCs, plus there's no off road (yet).

Cool, if you got the money for it, but I'd rather invest my money in another Micro-T.

The thing does work with your radio. My kid has 1 at at 1 time was entering events. He bitched because now you have to buy tracks and at first they gave you 1 for free. Not sure if that track is still available but it was Oslo and all the events he ran were at that track.

Yeah I suppose it can get a little expensive, but I have been limited in what I can do for a while. I was an accident in my truck--nothing big, ice storm, 150ft ledge, the Susquehanna river--well you know, the typical accident. That's what got me into bits...easy to use indoors. anyways, so on the occasions when I'm not as mobile as I used to be this thing is great, but it would be nice if they'd add off road and maybe a dirt oval.
