gazza Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 As promised pictures of Craigs track The road track is on a 3.6 x 1.8 mtr mdf board .... very technical as they say! Track surface changed to Ferrador The rally track started out as Eastern Creek on partical board,which was very rough so we turned it into a single lane rally track. 23 mtrs Then added a bolt on extension, another 8 mtrs Then another 9 mtrs Total length 40 mtrs per lap. Lap record 30 117 sec Clockwise 30.479 sec Counterclockwise We race 5 laps per stage. Stage record Clockwise 2.35.029 sec Counterclockwise 2min 38.605 sec Round Record (3 Stages) 7.55.370 sec The table tennis net section(emergency safety barrier) unbolts and the other extension bolts into it or you can add the extension from my rally track. With my 10 mtr track extension added .... 50 mtrs The centre section has three connections to it so it can be bolted together in many different combinations. Between Craig's track and mine,over 70 Link to my tracks,Casula Raceway http://www.auslot.co...?showtopic=2267 Gary Quote Quickly read this post before it is deleted or i turn grey again Gary http://www.facebook.com/Rallyproxy2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinno Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Gary Must pencil in a night to get over as I am looking forward to some rally runs. Might see if there is another night other than Saturdays as they are burnt up at present. Looks like fun with that kind of lap length.

PhilR Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Clearly this is just the ducks guts!! Veryvery nice!! Why not somehow fit in an ssd powerbase and go digital with it? Run six cars out on the track at once,starting of a staggered interval start? That's what I'd be busting to do!! Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonespeed Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Gazza, Track looks great, I'm just getting into the slot car scene and I'm wondering why a lot of wooden routed tracks I see are painted a light colour. Is to make things better in some way. I would have thought if I was to build one I'd paint it black just like a real circuit. Interested in what you think Gazza.

gazza Posted June 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 The rally tracks are painted a light colour or even brown just for the dirt effect. The road tracks you can paint with many different surfaces The best is Ferrador,they use it to paint the harbour bridge,you can pick it up from most paint trade places for around $75 a 4 ltr tin.If you can find a smaller size tin grab it as 4ltrs goes a long long way. Ferrador comes in a dark grey colour,but i have seen it in a black But be warned if you are going to use copper tape it will not stick to the painted surface,and use a brush not a roller, the roller leaves little air bubbles on the surface which makes the track a bit to rough and rips the crap out of the tyres. Hope this helps, you can also spend a couple of weeks scrolling back through some of the old threds and you'll find answers to all your questions,if not just ask away we are all here to help.
