Mine are from there as well, $20 for a 6pack of large (2x2') tiles. What tires do you run on these, I'm running a mod-class MR-02 and all it does is spin out, even with the TX EPA set to 30% :?

I find the high silicon content tires work best. I like the PN 10 grooved carpet tires for the rear and the Atomic 050 v pattern 10 for the front. There are 10-15 members at my local club running on this track and no one runs any rubber tires or anything harder than an Atomic 20.
Foams work OK for stock motors but, aren't so great for anything modified.
If your mod 02 is set-up for RCP it's probably too stiff for this surface, try some softer springs all around as well as the tires.
Cheers

Thanks for the advice. I tried brushing the track with a wire brush to make it more like RCP and it's only made the grip slightly better. New tires should help. Right now, it's not even controllable, I have a fast motor but at 30% EPA it's barely even drivable, I get zero traction on the turns.
