Vinno Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Might need a bit of grip leading up to it. Slipery climbs don't lend much to car speed as I have just found out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza Posted July 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Finnished putting the tape down yesterday .... so i couldn't help my self i had to bolt it together and see how it ran. Interesting ... very slippery on the new surface ...... duh! All i have to do now is add the green stuff. Total length is now up to 35 mtrs. Only time will tell if it's a hit or not ... if not, thank god for the bucket of bog!

itelectrical Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Good job Gazza, looks like you don't muck about and just get stuck into it.

gazza Posted July 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Finnished filling in all the holes Have to give the track another coat of paint and put more tape down, the other stuff wouldn't stick to the paint. Then bolt it back together again and start tarting it up a bit with trees and grass n crap Dave and Craig will be over here on the 22nd, as per normal, so we will give it a test run then. If anyone wants to join in that's fine we start around 2pm Gary Quote Quickly read this post before it is deleted or i turn grey again Gary http://www.facebook.com/Rallyproxy2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports Racer Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Do you run a 20 metre extension cord for the controller so you can follow the car without using binoculars? Awesome track Quote May the downforce be with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Had some half time entertainment at the test run on saturday Track slowly improved through the night as we got used to it and as more rubber was laid down Will organize a date when every ones free and have another run on it.

Cyph Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 That's damn impressive. Looks like an awesome track to drive on. Without trying to be negative, have you thought about giving some of your scenary with a matte finish on it? Some of your terrain does look pretty glossy, the rock walls in particular in some of the shots. Other than that - I wish I had the room to build a rally course like that!

gazza Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 A lot of it is the reflection from the sun comming through the window,but yes it is a bit glossy but give a couple of weeks and it will have a build up uf dust grime and general racing crap all over it. Whats your local if yor near by drop in and have a run!

slots Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Hey Cyph, it's a very good track to run on. I particularly like the jump as you can completly clear the track and still land it in the slot when it comes down. Once you get used to the track it actually does have a smooth pattern to it.

Cyph Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 If only I was in Sydney..... Up here in sunny Brisbane. slots - as I said, looks like a damn good track, and I wish I had the space to build a track like that! I'm gonna have to be content with a 3 lane road track I start building soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
