Modeling / Slot Car How-to Series: 10 TIPS for Building your Track! - World’s PREMIER Slot Car Track 

you are correct slot cars are alive in NZand have been since the 60s sorta went underground in the late 60sbut many home made tracks were still around like my own then up graded or rebuilt when the hobby took off again in my opinion because the new manufactering made the cars look so realistic Keep up the good work Jimmy a great video

Thanks for the tips,you have a awesome layout!!!!!

Uncle Jim is a Rock star

Can you make an episode on how to build your track lighting towers? They look so realistic. Please include how you power the light towers. Thanks so much as your videos are so helpful.

I have built 4 wood routed tracks but still learnt a lot from these tips. Watching this video is inspiring and has me thinking about getting back into the hobby. I always enjoyed the track building process more than the racing. Thank you 🙏

I’ve always want to build a track and I’ve bought books on it , but I’ve always been put off by the lack of “real racing “ . Thanks for sharing , you be should putting all this in a book / how to manual . I would certainly buy a copy all the best from down under au

I inherited a lot of older (new)1/32 analog Carrera slot cars, dragster parts, plastic model kits etc and new track pcs, I wanted to build a nice track, but will most likely sell it all. But I have to say, your track makes me want to dig my stuff out. Thanks for the tips! Beautiful track!

Thanks for another great video. Lots of great information -the apex discussion was worth (much more than) the price of admission alone! And the banking of corners -I've used superelevation on the sub-base under the turns of my HO sectional track layout and it makes a huge difference. I keep the track flat where I want "hard" corners but it is amazing how a small increase in the height of the outside of the track raises the speed at which de-slotting occurs. Thanks Again!

slot car inside deluxe! realy nice informations! thanks! merry christmas🎄

Thanks for posting

Excellent advice !...Ive built two wooden tracks prior and still learning...hey Im thinking of trying MDF this time around ...is MDF a good investment (its certainly cheaper)

you're a craftsman, an artist and just amazing engineer. thanks for sharing your secrets

Watching from Malta 🇲🇹 Thanks for the info. Grazzi

Thanks as always 🤙🛠🤙

Great info! Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks again for sharing this. 👍👍😎

Hi Guys, thanks for the great content. I'm in the process of planning my track. I would love to make it as intricate as yours, but space dictates otherwise. I have a table 5m x 2.5m (16'5" x 8'2.5") that will be hoisted to the ceiling on 4 cables. I'm very interested in the 1/32 scale specs (ie. lane widths, minimum radii & banking) as well as lane changing. I want to use the Carrera Digital as a basis to build on (for the ability to rum 2+ cars on a two lane track). Is this a mistake? I have taken onboard many comments in this video regarding track specs (ie. lane separation, etc.) and will be redesigning the layout to optimise the space. Thanks.

I'm really happy that you found the tips interesting Little Viking! I wanted to make designing and building your track as hazard free as can be. Thanks for your comments my friend.

fantastic layout, Jim

awesome vid thank you

great track tips friends

Great tips! Will there be (is there) a video addressing how your lane change feature in the hairpin works?

Great videos. How does the lap counter work for 2 cars in the same lane?

Interested in building a wooden track , been doing research. My question is if I use copper braid is there a specific type of router bit that cuts slot & recess for flush fit braid, or is it 2 different bits?

This track is BadA**! I would love to see an explanation on the slot layouts. What is going on with three lanes close to each other and three farther apart from each other. I'm not grasping the intention of the design. Thanks

How does the change lane actually work ?

I must be missing something. I've watched several of these videos and have yet to see any cars moving around the track. How many people do you think are going to watch all these minutes of just talking and no action? It makes no sense

I watched three video's and never saw the cars running on the track! just talk, it gets boring after a while!

i love your set up ITS AWSOME i know its none of my bussiness how much do you think you have tied up in it and im sure its worth every nickle THANX E
