  • 5 weeks later...

i was going to make this a whole new topic as it is a whole new raceway and not even on the floor any more but i decided to add it here so u can see what i have gcome from to now!

 

While its not in the same league as most of the tracks u guys have im still pritty pleased with how it has turned out so far and guess u all started somewhere.

 

I was given an old ping pong table so i decided to use it in the "junk room" (as my wife calls it) and get up off the floor as it was getting harder the get up every time i deslot... which was often LOL

 

I only finished assembling it on wedensday and im only planning to 'scape it a little as its only temp till i get my shed back but i will be making more track edges... either from old track or MDF board.. and maybe a limited amount of paper mashie (sp) so to learn the tricks for later on

It is alot more challenging than any of my previous designs but much more satisfying when i get it all right and nail a new fast time:D... fastest lap so far is 6.5 seconds in a scaley MG Lola... and im sure it will make me a better driver as i now have feather the throttle not just back off and give it to it again like on the old track!!

 

I do have a few issues with the track being bumpy and i do need to work on the hairpin at the end of the back straight as the F! and LMP cars deslot on the inside lane

 

Well please let me know if u see a better way to do something i have done or have any tips etc... feedback is most welcome!!

 

Cheers

hi pezzwa

yeah mate thanks for the suggestion..i had thourght of that but i like the change in elevation in the hairpin.. it makes it more of a challange.. i was going to run the other way...clock wise... so it was kinda like the dipper at bathurst but running anti clockwise and going up it is more fun.. well i think

 

I should be fine once i get more bridge supports which im hoping to have in about 3 weeks... till then i will just run the taller cars

 

I will change to the other section being raised if i have no joy once the supports arive

Cheers
