RC drag car racing can turn a fun hobby into a profitable business and its not as difficult as you might imagine. Of course, building a quality RC drag car racing track does require some cash in the bank.
Finding a smooth, level area is the first consideration in building an RC drag car racing track. The finest surface for RC drag car racing is ultra-smooth asphalt; the kind found in playgrounds and skateboard parks. Besides finding a level surface, it will also have to meet certain area requirements. Including a shutdown area, 200 feet is ideal; 150 feet should be considered a bare minimum. Youll also need a width of at least ten feet for each lane.
The ideal RC drag car racing track requires extra traction. Although many tracks get by using a blend of sugar and water, for the best conditions possible you should use a special traction compound known as VHT. The problem is that VHT doesnt come cheap; if you find a gallon for less than $10, pick it up. Of course, you can always invest in a drum of VHT for somewhere in the $750 range. Even so, a drum may only last you around ten races. Because VHT is so pricy, most people cut it with alcohol to make it last...
