I couldn't give ya the "My god that is sweet" vote, ya needed different options ;) lol

ghetto's great man - my tracks ghetto too, like the banked turns.
turned out nice for a small portable track man.
looks like it's fun.

ok, choices have been changed lol, they aren't as dramatic now... :lol:


in case you peeps is blind... it is banked due to rolls of duct tape holding up the corners lol :lol:

not bad... not bad indeed... I like the banked turns, but, how well do the bc-gs run on'em?

well, my shen runs surprisingly well.... at least, with my formula 34 motor... I can't wait until later this week when I recieve my other 5 motors, 150 mah, and official bc-g from Kyle (bit-char g motors.com).... That way I can really test the track, because right now it is VERY difficult to control, at least I am the only one that can control it :lol:


but no, the banking doesn't really slow you down a lot
