WKM Posted February 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I love the way it packs down. Have you made any progress on braiding the other lanes? Yes all lanes are now braided and powered, still need to finish all the lane changers and some track barriers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slotspeed Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Still impressed with the mechanics of the pack down. Does the outer facing track loop fold out as you lower the main table down? I'm impressed by the CAD element as it looks to have simplified the build and economised on the materials (and weight) required for the build. Wondering how the fold out tilt panels latch?

lenny broke Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 The pack up looks good Wayne. I think I will use the fold up legs in my next one. What paint did you use on the track surface, looks to be a gloss ? I did mine in Wattyl gloss paving paint. I was a bit wary of it at first but I thing it works well.

Does the outer facing track loop fold out as you lower the main table down? yes Wondering how the fold out tilt panels latch? I have used hinges that have a tight tolerance, once lowered I have some over centre latches that pull the track a couple of mm to line up the slots no dowels or through rods required.

WKM Posted February 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 What paint did you use on the track surface, looks to be a gloss ? I used the same paint unfortunately they have discontinued that line now. I applied an acrylic undercoat sealer that was sanded back smooth and then sprayed the surface with the enamel based paving paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieslotter Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Great work. Yet another world class Scorpius routed (routered) track. Looks fast already and it’s not rubbered in yet.
