Like the elevation changes.

Sotvotkong, Nice layout. Looking at the first pic, I'd setup one more elevation at that end. Doesn't have to be huge or elaborate, but if you do full scenery you'll like it. Love the flow of the track, seems well planned out. Regards, --Rakete--

thanks for the good words guys and gals, keep in mind this is my first perminent track, so i might miss something here or there, and would like you peps to point it out to me. hell i barely started using indy grips and such, thats how little i know about slot cars. after a quick rest break ill be posting pics of the rest of the work ive got done, so that your up to date.

so i screwed together all my support ramps, and then screwed them to the plywood. then i stuffed them with newspaper, and used cardboard, styrofoam, wood, plastic to get the basic shape i wanted, wraped it with the yellow cloth tape stuff, then put the plaster on. so that was last weeks, and this week is the ones below. so i figure after im ...

so as far as the tight hairpin, ive decided against it, as its a fairly hard turn with the elevation and all so for the sake of indys and gts its just a normal r1 hairpin turn. TRACK READOUT so the track is striaght in the front and back, the bottom right and top left turns are the same. but the top left is banked. in the hill climb its a 180 r1 a 22.5 r1 and then another 180r1, big...

well no updates to show really, i spent this weeks and next weeks table budget on some digi parts from a member on here so im just ammasing more newspaper and such to be ready when i buy more plaster in a few weeks. after reading a bit more on gaurd rails and all that fun stuff i think hot glue and popsicle stics are going to be my best bet. i already have the popsicle sticks and my wood ...

woo hoo, my digi power base, wall warts, controllers, and a change lane turn showed up today! thanks to noise boy. only a small step away from going full blown digital now. so next week should mark the final days of plaster work, then comes the sanding.

I am so jealous! Always impressed with you guys that are doing instead of just talking about it. You must enjoy every second: not just of the racing to come, but the whole process of building your idea as well.
