1/24 Lane Widths

Recommended Posts

I'm looking at building a new routed timber track and I want to be able to run 1/24 scale plafit cars on it. What is the best width and also what radius corners do they not like lol

Cheers Dazza

 

110 - 115mm ( ideally ) would be perfect

Plastic Track Measurement Comparison

http://www.ncphobbies.com/132help.html

 

Some of the early 60's commercial tracks were made with 4" (101.6mm) lane spacings, which is minimum for 1/24 flexi cars.

Plafit style cars are great on this size track.

 

The Carrera tracks handle 1/24 scale cars OK, and you could get away with Ninco for the smaller sports cars.

 

If you have the space, I'd go with the old 4", with the Carrera 3 7/8" as a minimum.

 

You could use Carrera plastic track dimensions on this site as a guide for corner radii, and o'all track widths.

:huh:
