Freddy Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 That looks very cool. Nice and big. We need more pics! Quote Cheers, Frederick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieslotter Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Across the top of the mountain looks cool! well done. Have Fun Quote On chips, we have simply too many to create a video-log. As mentioned earlier in this thread, some were dead-on-arrival, some had no brakes, some had a range with the of about 30cm, some when hooked up to a light kit had only rear lights but not front lights (light kit and LEDs worked perfectly when tested with another chip) and so much more. www.scorpiuswireless.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eno the Wonderdog Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 He he - put it on a trailer & take it up to Bathurst when the Auslot trip goes.. if we play it right we can employ kids to look after the track and it'll pay for everyone's accomodation!

Perro Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 That looks like Chris' track in sunny Melbourne to me. Nice track but watch out for that last fall if you ever deslot and leave the black stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtpanorama Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Sorry no more pics at the moment as I don't have a camera, these pics were scanned photos and last time I put up a big photo (1994 Mustang Sports Sedan) some people took exception. Perro is right, I am in Ferntree Gully Melbourne. Eno better have a big trailer as the track measures approx 6.5 x 4.2 Metres and is 1.1 M at Skyline Quote Cash doesn't crash, use it or lose it.

Freddy Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 That track would be so cool to use for The 2007 SF/AF VSC. PM me if you want to find out more and if we can use it. Quote Cheers, Frederick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo41 Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Hi, Track looks good (and BIG). What kind of lap time do you run with a Scaley V8? Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul NZ Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Great looking track, Bathurst is one of the greatest tracks about, I would love to do this as a 4 lane routed, having the climb up mountain, the esses and skyline all with major squeezes, then an even run down conrod and pit strait....... I think I am going to start drawing again Quote Paul NZ - Scale with Detail! Narangba Club Local Gold Coast Raceway 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eno the Wonderdog Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Skyline to the Esses Esses to Forest Elbow I love the "Motor racing is Dangerous please don't crash here" safety cone!! I'd love to come down mate, but Friday night is "Girls night" so I have to stay here and have pizza with the boys.

mtpanorama Posted September 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Thanks for your comments guys. Steve, Scaley V8s box standard with magnet run mid to high 6 seconds. PaulNZ, routed would be interesting with the squeezes you mention. JRob, Conrod is about 5 meters long. blue95, I will try to get some pics this weekend. Anything in particular you want to see.

mtpanorama Posted November 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 No chance of that, there is a 14cm high barrier with foam for padding, but they do still make a rather loud 'thunk' when they do hit it at speed after coming off.
