branco Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 A further update on Benmill raceway. Gone with blue colour for the Buller river. Waterfall still has some work to be done but you get the idea. Took out the remaining wall partition but I still can't get the whole damn track in view!!!

SlotsNZ Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 You'll need to put a bucket under that waterfall or the garage floor will fill up and damage the track supports....... 1 Quote Recovering Lapsed Slot Addict * Custodian of many used screws (mostly loose ) * Total kidder * Companion of other delusional slot addicts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattcrackers Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) Nice work on all your tracks and the scenery so far on this one. I take it that you've been running plenty of practice laps by the rubber on the track. That back 8m straight would surely let you wind out some of the cars. cheers Matt Edited December 19, 2015 by mattcrackers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
branco Posted December 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Yea Matt far too many practise laps. Back str8 is fun for the fast cars but good handling cars are king round here. cheers.

mattcrackers Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Do you have any timing system set up yet? I was just wondering how much the times would vary between a good handling car and a fast car due to that long back straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercharged Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 That looks great. You have done a top job. Bloody ripper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
branco Posted December 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Thanks Supercharged. Have Trackmate and Race Coordinator set up. Well sorted NSR Mosler has lap record at 7.397, NSR P68 is next fastest with 7.449. P68 runs out of puff 2 thirds down the str8 where as the Mosler just keeps on going.

Wobble Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Every time I see this it keeps getting better, I like it a lot Mark. About the P68. I changed the gears on mine to 12:33 because it peeked out on Wazzas back straight and now it's even quicker around his track but also easier to drive because the brakes aren't quite so savage. Could be worth having a look at unless you don't want it to beat the Mosler of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalbfellp Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Mark Great looking track and very impressive. Looks more like some of the Tassie tracks. The scenery does take a lot of work BUT it is worth the effort. Quote Phil https://www.hobartminiaturecarclub.com/ Email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
branco Posted December 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Thanks Bram, I keep my NSR classics in standard trim for testing purposes for Tony's NSR challenge. The Mosler has had a gearing change and I think that helped it. Thanks Phil, the scenery is based on parts of the area in which I live which is probably similar to Tasmania.

I Am The Walrus Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Love the lengthwise shots showing the fencing and posts. Very nice detail. Is the fencing mesh fibreglass flywire? ...and one more question - is that river flowing up hill to the waterfall? Quote A wise man once said...
