Part 1 / How To Create Apex Corners & Aprons For Plastic Slot Car Track 

Great job booneman this is Cal you always take it the extra mile as far as realism. And you take the time to explain what and why. When you finish a video you always leave me anxious for the next thank-you my friend.

Great video and work as always I'm loving that you're doing a 1/64 layout. Can't wait to see how it turns out!

Once again you work magic you are an artist my friend you bring slot cars alive in a word WOW booneman

I absolutely love these videos. I have been wanting to do this with my son's 1/43 but really had no idea how. How you use sections of real racetracks have really opened my eyes. Thank you for doing these videos. I've learned so much.

Thank you Sir Boone We older guys that have returned to the hobby and are limited with space and committed ourselves to 1:43 need all the fabrication help we can get! I am looking forward to when you show us how to manufacture replacement 1:43 tyres 😉🤞🤔Just voicing my problems with a certain slot company 🏁✌️🏁

Brilliant! This is amazing, your mind is treasure trove of slot car magic! Thank you, I am going to use this method on my layout and skip the Carrera borders!

This is so simple that it is genius. This is only the third BSCG video I’ve watched and you have completely changed the way I look a slot car raceways. Many hobbyists, myself included, only use scenery to make their raceways more realistic. You’ve taken realism to another level. Thank you for sharing your vision. Killer stuff! 😎🤙 I’m a retired high school educator and there’s one principle I saw year in, year out. Good teachers have great ideas and successfully incorporate them in their classroom. Great teachers not only incorporate their ideas, they also aren’t afraid to cross the line of thievery and incorporate other’s great ideas in their classroom. That being said, I’M STEALING YOUR IDEAS. 😂😇

Great info Boone…thanks!

Looking sweet Boon!! , i been using 6mm cork floor tiles which are a perf hight match it also flexes enough to cut straight strips and bend for radius !!! Works very well. Cheers happy slots my friend

Looking good so far 👍👍 I’m like the attention to detail, do it right the first time. Looking forward to the next video!

Digging your practical way of looking at build challenges Boone. That L&M Lola looks really cool and it corners better than the real car ever did.

Great video legend, I will be using these tips in a future build...Picasso of the slot car world

Nice! I’m modifying my track accordingly. Has anyone ever told you to send pictures to Hollywood for an Edward Norton look alike. You could double for him easily. That’s for posting….😊

I've changed turn piece radius regular. remove the metal conductors cut a turn piece say down to a third reinsert conductors and cut those to fit. you'll need to create a complete section but the conductors are bendable and help holding the completed section together.

Great work in progress 👏👏👍😊

Great stuff I will definitely be using some of your techniques on my 1:43 build.

Great stuff! Thanks for the video.

Great job my friend!

Again you have a lot of talent,You would be Great in Model Railroad 👍

Awesome video Boone! That's the stuff I'll be doing soon. Just figuring out my layout first so I can secure the track. Can't wait to see your layout come to life! I'm into HO. Never used digital before but the more I watch the videos on it, the more interesting it gets haha.

Its simple. Inside straights get a strip of material. Outside curves get a strip of material. Except when there are 2 90 deg. left or right hand curvers with a straight between them luke the area you are working on. Then the material shouls go on the outside of the straight.

Great video 👍

Quick heads up. About 20 years ago, but I can't remember if it was Tyco or Hot Wheels, there was a VERY popular Jeremy McGrath Supercross set... there was 2 versions... '12 radius turns with and without built in aprons! Inner and outer! I've seen them many times on Ebay and these are a MUST if building a Tyco track...

Boone when ya gonna start the Ho vids back up? Was really excited for that one!! Love your content!! Let’s do this!!!

Wasn't even done with the intro and LIKE''d it, LOL.... I was just building catch fencing on my HO track / Mark Emm

Sir Boone After seeing the Miami Street Circuit one has to asked, we’re you consulted on the harbor modeling? 🏁✌️🏁

Thanks, man these are really helpful. Did you use the bending technique on this HO track, too?

Hi Boone, I was working out how to layout my track. The Apex turns and it just didn’t seem right when compared to watching real racing. Then I found a driving video that talked about how the ideal line isn’t used. The way slot car track corners are built. Same radius all the way around the corner. The racing line has most of the turning completed prior to the apex, the radius opening the rest of the way around the corner. Allowing for more acceleration out of the corner into the straight. Have you constructed any corners like that?

Is it possible to do custom banking for stock car track setups with this sort of HO scale track?

So, does TYCO also have the same radius' (radii?) as Tomy/AFX. TOMY offers the normal 9", plus a 12. 15 and an 18.. and for the braver people, an inside 6" and 3" hairpin (so, like 10 lanes are possible--though not fluid really...- 4 to 6 lanes is best, and I just got the first batch from eBay for my 4 lane today.

Are you going to make videos again ?

only way is to route

very nice job and you explain very nice!!!!! if you want please make in your video subtible :)
