Couple of additions to the track

Outback dunny, poor buggers have had their legs crossed for weeks

Found a Tow Mater shed on thingiverse that fits in perfectly with the rest of the scenery

And you can't have Mater without the tractors

For those too young, or too far away to understand this diversion :lol:

When we moved here we had 6 beautiful rats nests growing in the front and back yard (everybody must  have been given a palm tree 30 odd years ago)

So we wasted no time in turning them to pulp

After twelve months, the stumps, which had been cut down to about the height of the timber boarders,  started to look like something i could use on the track.

So a bit of prying with a crowbar to remove, let dry for a few days, trim excess crap from the inside, then glue to the outside of the hill area.

Bit of grass and scenery and it ended up ok

Just like an expensive piece of rockery.

Added a 2 lane Super Stage to the Rally experience

The 2 lanes are a mirror image of itself, just over 10 mtrs per lane

Should make for some interesting racing

Picked this up at the local markets ....... $3

Good for holding up to 7 controllers

And it folds up neatly against the wall

53129247403_190ce43713_c.jpg

That now gives me 22 controller holders  :)

Been playing around with the timing on both tracks and have combined the two tracks to make a 3 lane event

I've joined the 2 lane Super Stage and the Single lane main rally track via a connection to the track sensors 

I can now run both tracks in a 3 min 3 lane event which should be fun 

For the 3 minutes on each lane you're looking at around the 55 total laps to be competitive.

Each lane has it's own colour so you can't cock it up.

First run will be after i get back from Japan in late March

Different idea, just working on different lane lengths. 

Yeh everyone does 3 minutes on each lane, so it should be interesting as well as entertaining

Changed direction of the green lane on the Super Stage, now both lanes start in the same direction and there is 2 different tracks in one.
