While I'm asking for help has anyone got guidelines/steps for Ultimate Racer 3.0(rev 3.0.30b4) and web cam, havent had any success in setting the web cam up and interfacing with UR. using a logitech 120 webcam. Got the hot spots sorted out (using free trial of zone trigger) but no luck in getting UR to recognise the webcam, argh. Got driver/cars/lane length etc set up in UR.

Thanks for the info, Track has been wired positively.

righto peeps, track is all good surface wise just having a few dramas now with the controllers, using parma 25ohm economy controller. The wires on the resistor are breaking, i have replaced two already. running the cars at 12v, what is causing this problem, recommend me a better controller

shouldn't be to long now scotty. Just finished soldering all the eyelets on the ends of all the wires. Hook it all up tomorrow. Whats the name of a lap timing/counting/race program that i can run with a web cam, needs to be for Mac. Need to get that side of the build sorted proto aswell. Will whack some fresh pics up tomorrow for all to see

yeah phil i'd like to know how people have connected tape to the track wiring. I will be going the brass counter sunk bolt. Should i put a few off these in on each lane or just one for each lane

Can someone please post up some pics of how to power up my copper strips as I am at this stage of the build or point me in the right direction for a link etc. Have made taping tool for tape application. I have heard of people using countersunk head brass/copper bolts through the mdf and coper tape. Your help is appreciated. Cheers

Stubbo track is in traralgon

A few more pics for those interested

David The track is located in GIppsland

Track is built on a steel rhs frame 50mmx25mmx2mm RHS and 25mmx25mmx1.6mm RHS and will be hinged and folded against the wall. The next issue that I face is power supply and controllers. What do I need? The only car i have at this point in time is a parma with a 16d motor (with more to come) and a few old scalextric controllers which i am happy to replace. I would also like to the volts/amps variable so my little girl can have a go on the track aswell as the adults. Please put me in the right direction, need the help as I'm new to this stuff. I have a dick smith store nearby or am happy to support a forum sponsor for my power supply etc

Just have to finish off this part of the track with the install of the bridge

Hi guys, Sorry to start this thread with a question and no pictures, However pics will be put up once i progress a bit further. Firstly Table dimensions are 4.8m x 2.4, 3 lanes, 90mm spacing. Its my first crack at this so it can only get better from here. My question is what paint for the surface? The track is located in an outside shed with no heating/cooling so it is going to be subjected to a fair temp range. I have gathered that Ferrodore highly recommended on this forum. My second question is what primer or undercoat have people used with this and if it has "delaminated" as the sales rep at the local Dulux store reckons that the solvent my unbind the glue that holds the mdf together. Can I please have a difinative answer on what to use so i can give you sloters some pics. Thanks in advance

Bit of a revival here. I'm starting to route my own track. Long time lurker but haven't posted anything as yet. I was searching for this so called strip and have found the company that makes it.
