the losi tracks are made by RCP and sold under the losi name.   you can vacuum the track with a regular household vacuum just make sure that you raise the brush on the vacuum up so it is on the setting for flat floors or laminate flooring so it doesn't rip the top of the track off.  new tracks don't have the same traction as a track that is well used.   Also note that mixing tire compound "rubber and the silicone based" tires will cause issues with traction as well.    I would stick with the PN or the Kyosho tires only as they are pure rubber based..   Some of the Atomic tires are silicone based and will damage the traction of the track and in some case it not reversible.

after a while you will see a decrease in the track "dust".   you will still get some but it should start to look more black from wear from the tires.   I'm not sure if the difference in material will make a big difference in the grip on the track but if you are spinning out with the PN 6's on the back than you are sure not getting the grip you should.   

One tip you can try that works well is to mist the track with a spay bottle (filled with water) and let is soak into the tiles for a few hours before running on the track.   the moisture in the track helps with traction.
