This was very prevalent I the late 60s and early 70 -80s, even the military bases had these for service members, Davisville Rhode Island had one 10 cars large, along with competitions and rentals. Davisville Rhode Island was a Seabee Base. FYI I was 13 -14 that was 67-68 Excellent Job

I've watched a number of these videos on how to make your own track, nice to see you having different levels and bridges etc. One thing you should look for is flexible MDF aka wobble board. It is available in grain long and grain short in 4 x 8 sheets. (short = flexible in width/long = flexible in length). You can easily do rises, falls, hills, It is not self supporting meaning if you have grain short, it will have to be supported once you get it in place.

I lived and died the big slot car tracks in the late 60s .. built my own cars .. rewound the motors. Good to see the contemporary interest ... tho the cars don't seem to slide much.

Excellent track. I could never make one of those. I dont see how you did all that. Well done. really cool! I do have a small 1/43 scale track, but i used Artin and Childford track on two 4 by 8 pieces of plywood. it is on youtube, you can see it if you search rcplanetim slotcar. I do wish I could build like that though. AMAZING!!!

You can do it. Just one section at a time. :D
@ThinkerOnTheBus
@ThinkerOnTheBus 2 года назад
You are correct, YOU NEVER COULD MAKE ONE OF THOSE, but do you know why? Because you have already decided that you can't do. Whether you tell yourself that "you can do it", or that "you can't do it", you are correct. I'm sure you are more than capable of making a similar track, but you have to decide that you can do just that. If you think you can't do it, then you will never bother to even give it a try, and thus, you won't do it. If you think you can't do it, and somehow you do give it a try, you still won't succeed because you have already set your future in stone, and having such a negative attitude is predetermining your future. You can do it, so if you want to do it, then go do it!

Great track. I thought that speed would be hampered by the tightness of some of the track sections, but no...I'm impressed. Out of interest, if you don't mind saying, what type of car was running the laps at the end?

@Thatwackytech
@Thatwackytech 5 лет назад
To avoid being just another generic "good job, bro." type of responder, I found your three-level track height to be VERY cool, along with the extra room in those overpasses for reaching de-slotted cars. what's the length? Footprint? It looks like you run 1/32nd cars? Do you hold races on it? Wha`cha got for a lap-counting system? (Looks like a lapmaster?) I actually have a 6-lane 116ft 32x16 Chris Dadd's reverse-grandstand set-up in my Auto-repair shop, (yeah, I'm not kidding) it's located in Osage Beach, at the Lake of the Ozarks. I HAD a small club of racers, but alas, I fell off of a ladder, breaking my leg severely, & had to close for almost a year. Lost a LOT of business, & my club attendance just dried up. STILL have the track, & I'm hoping to get the club re-formed & going again this fall. (NO A/C in the shop, so summer racing is just un-do-able) ANY tips on arousing Missouri interest would be greatly welcomed, As I'm beginning to think this area is just a bunch of lackluster, lazy, crybaby weenies...
@thunderbayslots6937
@thunderbayslots6937 5 лет назад
Thanks. It's 127' in the shortest lane and 131 in the longest. Footprint is about 9x18. We do have races on it. Using trackmate software with dead strips for counting.

STUNNING !!!! How well does the copper tape hold up ? TY
@thunderbayslots6937
@thunderbayslots6937 6 лет назад
Very well. Especially considering the track was built in a converted garage in FL that doesn't get full time temperature and humidity control. The downfall of the tape and why we rebuilt with braid was inconsistent voltage on a few lanes. But we got a solid 5 years of weekly use out of the coper tape before deciding to change to braid. But i'm sure it would still be running today if we didn't make a change.
@rzak1961
@rzak1961 6 лет назад
Many thanks. My track is being built in a dry basement in the Buffalo area. Each lane will be 85 feet in length. I plan on running every Thursday evening. I will be adding power taps.
