) is how low do you make a routed bridge? Do you make it high enough to just clear your highest car or do you go higher? What is the most common height?

Hi all. Something I don't remember seeing in a topic (which doesn't mean much with my memory ) is how low do you make a routed bridge? Do you make it high enough to just clear your highest car or do you go higher? What is the most common height?

I made mine 12 cm - I wanted to make sure I could clear my Fly truck and also fit my hand under to fetch a car if needed, plus you also need to think about visibility...

I know you're not likely to get one on your track or anything, but the Landrover Cop vehicle tops the 95mm mark. Don't know if the racing trucks sit any higher than that.

One other consideration is the fact you need to fish out any car lost under there, how easy will it be if its too low?

So about 120 mm will even get a truck under it? Looks like the height to use then.
