32coupe Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 First one was something to play with in between the real tracks. Then after I sold my old track I needed a replacement one, what do you think of this one? And then a club friend decided he needed a track as well. And then just for fun I built this one and put it up on ebay. Quote A man without a woman is like a neck without a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slotbaker Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Good looking tracks. Have you done any with braid? Quote Steve K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32coupe Posted October 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Braid? Yes, but it's getting too hard to find and toooo expensive, and tape works just as well, in my opinion anyway. To braid a track can cost over $400, and to tape the same track would cost only $12. Quote A man without a woman is like a neck without a pain.

imugford Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 you find they are getting easier to build ?? i've done 2 with tape and one with braid, apart from the braid being costly its the best thing ive done heat in the shed doesn't expand it, no breaks etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32coupe Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Yeah, they are getting to be like riding a bike, easier every time. I find that once you get into a rythem, it all falls into place. I haven't had any problems with the tape, and it's easy and cost effective. Quote A man without a woman is like a neck without a pain.

32coupe Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 It's all finnished and Ross picked it up yesturday. It might look a lot like the one that went to Melbourne, but it is subtlely different. I tried a few new build styles on this one, and it makes for a much neeter fit and finish.

miveson Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 What sort of dimensions do we have on that track coupe? Quote Slot Car Photos V8 Tipping Competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow_rusty Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Once again, very nice there Andrew... Is that the same layout as Alvaro's but with the bridge the other way?? Looks better that way to me... Also, looks like you made a 2 lane track and then changed your mind and made Ross a 3 lane one instead... http://www.ebay.com....=item43c3eb99fd Edited January 12, 2014 by shadow_rusty Quote Stolen from SlotsNZ Team ABC Team Leader (Ambitious, But Crap) Home Track Threads - Shadow's Semi-Permanent Layout & Another Rug Racer & Proud of It & Gymkhana Test Track Car Collection Thread - My Car Collection Charts / Diagrams - MJK Tyre Selector / Slot.it 4wd Gearing / PoliCar Rollout / Rollout Chart Generator / SCX 4wd Rollout / Track Wiring with Brake on Track Call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAS41T Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Had a couple of mates over today we had an awesome time banged out laps for a few hours Maybe 4 hours Andrew makes a very high quality track which made for great racing today couldn't be happy My track dimensions : 3.6mts - 1.8mts Edited January 12, 2014 by GAS41T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32coupe Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Yeah Michael, I like to test my build ideas on the smaller tracks, and then use what I learn on the bigger ones. Ross wanted a bigger track to start with, can't have a decent race on 2 lanes now can you? That 2 laner is going cheap, get in quick before it's gone Quote A man without a woman is like a neck without a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32coupe Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Been at it again, this one was designed by a guy in Orange. He wanted to run HO scale cars with slide guides fitted, and 1/32nd on the 2 outer lanes. But he changed his mind 3/4 of the way through the build. Now I have to build him anouther track specifically for 1/32nd, so this one will be up for sale to recoupe the build costs. The lanes are 40mm apart and the outer and inner are 50mm, lane length is 16m. Track is 3m x 1.8m, ferrodore and copper tape, wired as per commercial tracks. This corner has been banked for better speed at the end of the straight. The inner corner has a squeeze to make life interesting Edited February 2, 2014 by 32coupe Quote A man without a woman is like a neck without a pain.

32coupe Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Not much interest in this one just yet, but that hasn't stopped me from making a few more. I'm up to No:15 now, it seems the new slot centre in Penrith is getting a few people interested in racing again, and I'm building tracks to keep them happy. My 3.6m x 1.8m 3 lane tracks seem to be quite popular. Oh well back to the shed, I have another track to build. Quote A man without a woman is like a neck without a pain.

32coupe Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I've been busy working on a track for a guy in Sydney. Do you think it will be big enough? I still have to fit the braid and wire it up, then I can get a few mates over for a few laps. I mean, I have to test it before I can give it the all clear for the new owner to pick it up, don't I??
