mini z track

[Antlers]

Hi, I am making a small mini Z track and have run out of ideas. Here's what I have: a working billboard, a fence i am making around the track, a start light, and a speaker I'm working on.
What else should i do?
also anyone have a good barrier 3d model?

I am pretty sure I have seen a few stl's for printing track boundry parts. You could add a couple walkways over the track. Big half tire over another part for advertising Bridgestone or something. Starting area with grandstands. Etc. You're off to a cool start!

Needs a double and some rollers

In all seriousness this is sick! Are you planning to put carpet down on the track?

I am trying to find some carpet for the future, but for now, I have ski wax on the wood, so it feels somewhat similar

How is ski wax like carpet?

It seems to give a similar grip. I have no idea why, or how I figured it out...But it works!

What kind of ski wax?

 

[Antlers]

Toko high-temp World Cup race wax.
It's probably more expensive than carpet, but I have a bunch lying around as I am a semi-pro mogul skier. If you want a similar wax the toko base performance high temp would probably work.
heres the link to the exact wax I used:

I am also trying to make the road look like...road what do I use?

 

[Guest D]

Probably nothing after you laid the wax down lol

 

[Guest D]

Although maybe Silicon Carbide Grit, but that would shred the tires quick. Maybe wax over it but I'd use a less expensive wax if you really like the wax.


I've zipper lined a few bubble patches myself.....it spit snow here today

Maybe scrape the wax off, paint the bare board, then wax back over it. That could work, but would probably be very time consuming.

You're not gonna scrape that off. It's in the grain of the wood.

Ah. Makes sense. Would the paint stick to the wax?

Nope

Maybe truck bed liner paint.

I would make corners and boundaries and then put magnets in so you can re configure the track

I added barriers and some other stuff.
