gref Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 thanks fellas, most of the corners have been opened up to keep speed high and passing easy. the loop on bottom left may also change, working on that now. I'm planning to only route 1 lane with my "Luf" strip/compass style and then just pass the router either side using a "slot insert" and router base to get even lane spacing. Have already routed top section.

gref Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 no picture updates, but thought I post something as I'm getting a bit excited. drew up the big loop and ringing in my head is Ian's comment from saturday - this is gonna be good!

knoath Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Will it be banked? Pics man... pics! Quote Cheers, Dick SCMR build thread Woodbrook Valley build thread "A Man's home is his castle, but his garage is his sanctuary!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gref Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) Will it be banked? Pics man... pics! not the big loop, and I've drawn the lanes up so the wall can't be used for fast cornering. the middle "part" will have banking on the corner. when big e gets time to drop round with his electric plane the big loop piece will be screwed down and routed. gotta go to plastics shop tomorrow to get piece for dropping in the slot to use as a routing guide. forgot how good it was to build!

gref Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) Just came inside from making a mess (routing) for a cuppa. Ian was over last night helping me, I'd be lost without him. got the loop section drawn and cut to shape and routed middle lane earlier. Finish my cuppa and go route the in and outside lanes (with ease thanks to my slot insert you can see in the pic Edited August 13, 2011 by gref Quote *fancy signature regards Shane Fuel racing in first track build --> https://youtu.be/nG1EyFkbJSs My second track build --> raceday - https://youtu.be/8WXYQ528iKM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knoath Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 That looks the goods Shane... what're the details of the strip you've used... could come in very handy.

gref Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 details? um er, I just took the one I got from Luf years ago (that was very short) to the local plastics shop and asked if they had any or anything similar.
