My bro made a small Carrera track

[rc dump]

I can see he needs more practice if he wants to beat me.

Looks like fun! Throttle control is everything!

Sweet! I would love to do an Evolution track.

Has he looked into tire prep at all?

That has been a game changer with my slot car setup. It's pretty simple, you really just need some flat and some sand paper. I bought a rig that goes on the track to simplify the process.

Better yet: buy or make your own silicone tires.

Ohh yeahhhh
I have some of those for a few cars I have, one F1 car and the others are "vintage" looking so they run super narrow tires = zero traction

Very cool! Can’t wait to acquire my dad’s old HO set with slot cars attached crossed through everywhere.

Working now!

Looks like that car is running without a magnet. If there's no magnet, you definitely want to use silicone rear tires and add a little weight to the chassis.

Sweet track! Makes me want to repurpose the table I built for my basement crawler track I started then completely lost interest in...hmmmm

Nice!
Looks to be mostly Fly with a few Slot.It?

 

[rhill]

There is Fly, Slot.it, Carrera, Scalextric. I guess a bit of everything. I need to buy another display case, there are always more cars I like.

I can see questions have been asked but i don't know much about his carrera track apart from placing a car on the track and hit the throttle.

He seems to drive the F1 o.k

Much, much smoother driving than from the first vid!

I want a NFS "Pursuit car" to chase down this sob with the 60's corvette for reckless driving.

Sweeet

Isn't it awesome when you guys figure it out?

Now you need to setup a way to track timing!
Some of those types of tracks support an app, my Carrera set uses a timing board. It's so much fun when you get in the zone seeing if you can best yourself!
