Hmmm! Quiet things down?? If I'm going to put something like this together I'm going to make it louder. I had an HO gauge track like this when I was a kid and man was it fun when you used different cars with different mods. Really sweet setup. Thanks for sharing this.
Just watched this back to back with the “testing with Tyco 440x2 Lambo “ video. FWIW, the new setup is noticeably quieter through my TV. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for getting that video out. I know you're probably very busy. It sounds like you are right that doesn't make that much of a difference filling the holes with spray foam. Cheers!
When I built my table last year (4x8 1/2 ply with 1x4 frame) I added a sheet of 1" blue foam to deaden some of the noise, it worked well, and with a little paint it is a good base for my scenery :)
I used car sound deadening mat. Made a nice difference in keeping the track quieter. Put it down then mounted the track down to it. Check out my track construction video. Thank you for the video showing the results! 😁👍🏁
I recognize this layout. It's the Oak Creek 36. I run the same layout! You can build the whole thing with the Tommy AFX Super International Raceway plus one 15-in straight track. It is based on the Tuckaway 25, designed to fit on a 36x 80-in door and slide under a couch or bed when not in use.
cool track, i would raise the whole back straight , x2 rules you got good grip too. for the clicking, check the joints smooth out the slots with a file. also the angle of the guideshoes can make them less noisy, stock they have a kinda chissel shape. a got a tip to bend them more like a sledge shape. slotcar hobby i am with ya.
Great video, i can prolly put a racing car set on my pool table which measures 36x72 from rail to rail. I would have it loose so I can easily take it down to play pool.
Love the layout. Could you please give me a count on the number of pieces of track straights, curves and their respective dimensions? I would love to Duplicate as I have limited space at home. Thank you!
What if you could lay the track directly on a layer of Hushmat? Walmart sometimes has it. You'd have to trim and fit the mat, like RR guys do with cork roadbed. Or just apply the mat to underneath of the track.
Have you ever tried sounding material like dynamat? I used to be a car audio installer and it works fantastic for keeping those panels quiet. I just thought it could be an option to look into later on down the road
@@slotslidershoslotcars Makes sense. I have 2 two 6 foot folding tables and a 5 foot desk in my garage for a 17 foot by 30 inch track. Was thinking of something smaller inside the house and am considering a 3 x 8 door with banquet legs attached. Just not sure if the solid core door is too heavy.
@@davesworld6206 If you don't plan on moving the layout after it's completed, the solid wood door is a nice choice. Hollow with outdoor carpeting would be quiet and A LOT easier to handle if you wanted to move it.
Hi there... I would like to know how you wired everything up. I know nothing about electronics, but follow directions very well. if you have a video, or can direct me to one, on how to wire up a 4 lane track, I'd be most grateful.
