I dint use guardrails, so everyone is equal. The driver on the outside lane has an unfair advantage because they can lean on the guardrail and keep the throttle pegged. 🏁
@@slotslidershoslotcars Agreed...In fact, without the rails, the outside lane actually now has the disadvantage unless the track is designed "evenly"... One thing....you won't ever have to worry about "guardrail WEAR" on your car bodies!
Thank you for the fun channel and I hope that you post more great videos in 2024. I received my first AFX set back in 1977 on Christmas and still have some original cars. I run the BSRT 905 chassis now that allows most AFX bodies to snap right on. For the smaller tracks, they are too fast but quite fun. When the reproduction T Dash chassis came out about 10 years ago with the thin original tires, I put some together with those reproduction muscle car bodies, and that’s a lot of fun watching them slide on the track without the aid of traction magnets. Thank you!
I'll most likely buy Difalco controllers for the 4x12 track and use the professor motor controllers over on the 36"x80" track. I had a really nice Difalcon controller when I raced 1/24th scale cars.
On my small 4x5 ft track I got rid of ALL of the 9" radius curve and put in 12" radius, it just makes for a better flowing track. You could get rid of that restricting tight 6" radius U turn just above the hammer by putting in a balloon U turn made of 2 pieces of 1/4 - 9" R with 2 pieces of 1/8 - 9" R curve pieces making the turn back. It would look like the mirror image of the balloon turn just above it at the far wall.. And it looks like a piece of 9" R at the end of your backstretch straight, where you keep hitting the wall, leading into 2 - 12" R pieces. You could replace that 9" R with 2 - 1/8 12" R pieces and then add 2 more 12" R pieces to create the back turn for another balloon track back to what would be remaining of that straight section to the left of the hammer that the other balloon turn leads into.That way you would be coming off your high speed backstretch, decelerating thru the 12" R balloon without hitting the wall, into the 9" R balloon, completely avoiding that killer deslotting 6" radius U turn. The track would flow SO much better and you could effectively use that long backstretch straightaway and eliminate a couple of bottlenecks to really enjoy running your rocket sled cars! Plus it would add a couple of feet of running length to your track... Not criticizing your work, just suggesting how to get your track to FLOW better.
Excellent video(s) and track! Have you run these Dash cars on a 35-45 ohm controller? I've watched vids where they've been run with 90ohm controllers. I am just wondering as I am running 35ohm PM controllers on AFX track with an adjustable PS (VLS-10M) and I am interested in these cars. Thanks!
Hay that's nice but for a tjet it's just to fast i like dash and auto world so i been i putting motor in Them and black tjet magnets i running AFX track with a #4 line auto world "15" 4-lane wireless terminal And 4-wireless speed controllers track 4/9 ovel lap and time's i think dash is only going to get better so thank you for letting me see your track nice keep up the good work and have fun.
If you copy and paste this link , then scroll down you will see the layout. It doesn't call out the individual sections, but it's not hard to figure out. It a fun layout. slotblog.net/topic/86537-building-a-small-ho-two-lane-track/
