gref Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 3mm? must be close to 3.2 as it fits snugly in the 1/8th slot. I'll bring a bit down next sat for a look if you like? thanks for the kind words fellas, the hardest part/most complex to build is coming up very soon. Gotta draw up a full sheet and cut to shape a banked corner - gonna be interesting! then gotta cut out and route a straight to join bottom and top, then join the bank section to rest.

Shane- maybe cut, rout & bend your bank first, then match the straights to it like Matt did.. I reckon that would be a lot easier Bry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eno the Wonderdog Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 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. Did you get the DVD as well? I'd like to have a look at it if you still have it. Got some stuff to do before I worry about routing anything though.

gref Posted September 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 only 1 corner left to route then just braid recess and it's all done, will finish it off after work tomorrow and post some pics then 1 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...
gref Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) 99% of the routing done, just gotta join the straight onto this pic on the right, it's routed ready to go in, then join the "underpass" to the pit area In this pic the overpass is going to be an underpass to improve driver sights closer look Edited September 6, 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...
Rob Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Looks good Shane, I agree with swapping the overpass to an underpass is a good idea if the photo is taken from where the driver stations will be located. Quote Regards Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gref Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 thanks rob, yeah pic is taken from driver stations, although may have 2 sets of driver stations yet 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 September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I like it Shane, good idea RE the underpass too! Looks like a fast runner, this one!

Eno the Wonderdog Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 thanks rob, yeah pic is taken from driver stations, although may have 2 sets of driver stations yet Given how different a track can look from different places that's a great idea. If you chuck in a bi-directional switch you have 4 tracks! Quote Captain's log: We are enroute to some planet whose name I cannot pronounce to do something really complicated that I don't understand.
