Managed some time tonight to draw out the lanes... on the large sheet anyway.

Will do the smaller sheet tomorrow, then if I can borrow a router I may have the slots done this weekend!

 

Hi Dick,

that would make 3 days late. :lol:

I thought first laps are getting cut on thursday. :D

Yeah, they are.... just not this Thursday! :lol: ... can I have an official opening night on a Thursday? :D

 

Embs... yes there'll be about 400mm difference from the crest of the hill on the back straight to the lowest point at the left hand hairpin at the front of the table. I hope to have rolling undulations along most of the track.

Cheers,

Dick

Dick,

 

I'm loving the room you've got there - Great games room. Nice track plan too. I was going to suggest making that hairpin on the right side a larger radius, but I guess you want to be able to access all areas of the track for marshalling.

Thanks for the reply captain (love your modelling work, those dunnies are great!!!).

Yes, I need to access that corner of the track as there's 2 corners where deslots could happen, but also for building the scenery in there.

Cheers,

Dick

Whoo hoo. That's my kind of track. Hurry up and get it happening man so I can borrow some of your scenery ideas.

If I lived coser I'd come around with my router and "new" bit and give you a hand!

How wide's the new bit, Gref?

Is it the 19mm? I'm using 3/16 don't forget... had an offer for a router already, but thanks for the offer. :)

 

 

All the lanes are marked ready for routing... this weekend I hope.

G'Day DM!

Haven't measured the lane lengths yet, just drew them out!

I doubt they'll be equal, but I'm not fussed about that... just drive them all!

 

you need to make one of these

then you can take one nice long drive around the whole track....

 

If I can work out the wiring I plan to make one - the photo is from Luf

cheers

DM, I wanted to do that for the last track that never got up.

Should do it for this one, thanks for reminding me.

 

Phil, yeah, some great shots over there, spent too long browsing!

Cheers,

Dick

So this is essentially taking a three lane track into a single?

yep, awesome foe testing/setting up car as you get each lane to drive. Luf also did the same thing with his Nurburgring 5 lane!

yeah I think it was on SCI forum that I found the pic and the post about it -I think this is a great set up for the lonely racer - as gref said lets you try out all lanes without need to swap the car and controller

I think Luf turned his 5 lane Nurburgring track into a 3 - laner with a more complex version of this if you look that up on SCI you will find info on it..

 

cheers

Had a busy Saturday... had the boys for the best part of the day, then got a window of 45 mins before heading out for the Old Man's 76th Birthday, then out for dinner with friends... I tell ya what... this life stuff gets in the way!

Here's what I did with the 45 mins!

You may just be able to pick up the lanes in these pics.

Cheers,

Looks like it will be entertaining enough Dick. I just hope the marshall retrieving a car in the back RH corner ( under the pictures ) doesn't get in the way of the drivers line of sight when their car is in that part of the track?
