yea on a bigger track you can easily run more,  we've run as many as 12 on a larger track,   it can get congested depending on the skill of the drivers and the size of the tracks.   the track I'll bring we can fit at least 5 cars on it at a time.

HFAY  is the acronym for “How Fast Are You?”   We run a point series that last for 5 months.   There is a specific track that each clubs sets up and runs.  Times are then compiled as if the races were run all together and points awarded according to where you places.  There are 2 races each month (one clockwise and one counter clockwise).   At the end of the 10 races prizes are awarded to the top 3 finishers. Then in the months between the point series (December and June) we run a Bigger track and its open to any club for free.  No prizes for this on just bragging rights,  this is the races we will be running on December 17th.    It’s a fun series to participate in and those that come race on Thursday will be enter with our club results    The series was the brain child of the following clubs Dorks on Wheels (PA), Washington GTG (Washington DC) and Salt Lake Mini-Z (Ut).   I run the series and we are starting our 9th Season  so it’s going on it’s 5th year.

More info is available on the HFAY Website.

I'm using the Ko Propo EX-10 Helios TX with the 2.4 ASF module,  the module is specific to the Mini-Z 2.4 boards.  I didn't like the Kyosho 2.4 radio either.

you can see it here..  KO Propo America

And the KO radio has like 10 model memory to run all your RC cars and trucks. If you check ebay you can get them for a good deal. I think HRP used to sell them not sure if they do now. You just need the different modules for different frequencies 2.4ghz, 27mhz am, and 75mhz fm.

PN Makes an adapter that will let you use the Ko module with you M8.   I know the M8 is a nice radio,  it's very similar in function to the Helios.

I know there is a module for the M8 that will allow you to use the AM 27mhz boards in the mini-z.

[briankstan]

this is the Airtronics module for the mini-z, it is only for the M8,  won't work in the M11

part # TM-151CW

Yes the M8 is a very nice radio and one of the more popular. As Brian posted there are definately adapters available.
