  1. Hi everyone, sorry I am new here this is my first time into this hobby. I purchased 2x sets from Carrera Go 1:43 scale for cheap I couldnt say no. They came complete with 2x cars and own track designs and I purchased seperated 3x other cars to mix and match for fun. Anyway I want to build 1 big track instead of the 2x tracks as per the manual and am wondering if there is a website or free app that is easy to use to build a track based on the parts that I have, would be awesome if it can auto design a track with the parts. I have a feeling I have too many parts no matter how many combinations I try they always fall just short to connect, it throws me out because 1x of the track set came with a loop and a high wall curve that runs along my home wall. I have spent hours trying to connect and disconnect with no luck. I dont have to connect all the parts but would love a descent amount of them used but am struggling to get them conencted. PS. Sorry if I posted this on the wrong section I wasnt sure which one to try the track scenery section seemed more for details and parts
  2. Ok, I know there are lots of CAD programmes out there but I'm looking at getting AN EASY ONE to learn do some projects I have in mind. Basically I only require 2D programme that has the right file type for CNC routing. I have a Mac which may limit my choices but I'm sure some of you out there must have some CAD experiance and can recommend something. Regards,
  3. Hi guys, Firstly, wanted to say how awesome it is to find a dedicated Aussie forum for something like this - makes it seems more... welcoming? I'm in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne, and I wanna build a track. I have two kids and played with slots when I was a kid and felt it high time to get back into it and give them something worthwhile to play with. I am the kind of person however that loves a project and would find it gut-wrenching to simply go and buy pieces to click together from a shop. So, I am designing a routered track and have been reading and reading and reading up on all the stuff I need to know but still have a few questions (I'm sure I will have many more and the project progresses) which would be amazing to have help with. First up, scale racers and choices and track spacing: Basically I am looking at designing a track for 1/32 cars. I like the idea of getting hold of some nice Pioneer cars to race and figure 1/32 would be the most accommodating size to start at. Now the space I am trying to design two is pretty large, but I don't want to undertake something EPIC on the first go, so I am looking at a board size of 2600mm x 1800mm (sound ok?) with a split level track. I want to make a 2 or 3 lane track (open to suggestions) but a the moment my main issue is trying to work out HOW THE HELL to space the track out correctly, as everything I read seems to contradict itself. After 4 hours of reading tonight I think 105mm seems to be the go on track spacing? with 115mm gutters? I would really like to router this myself, but to the same effect I have been reading people talking about routing quotes as little as $200 for CAD files provided... which just seems too good to be true? Does anyone have a good contact of a place in Melbourne/Eastern Suburbs that is good for this kind of job? Also in my design I am having trouble with what my minimum corner radius should be? As I havent actually raced for so long I have no clue on what is functional and what is not, so would just need to be told what to stick to... This seems to cover my main questions so far, I'd really appreciate any input people have for a newcomer and hopefully longtime enthusiast. Cheers, Brent
