Re: NASCAR Ovals
I'd like to see how you did lane changes on this. I was thinking of doing a 3 lane oval myself, but couldn't make up my mind on how to do the lane changes.

Re: Moore testtrack
Any issues with the cars traveling across the seams? If this works, there are some really inexpensive ping pong tables that fold up just like this. Could start a whole new trend here.

Any word on the foam tires? They seemed interesting.

Re: New Garden-Track? Your opinion and your thoughts, please
These aren't slot cars. Trust me. You will make mistakes. It is challenging to put 5 laps together without making a mistake. And, I don't mean crashing, but missing the turn point and going on the outside, giving someone the chance to pass on the race line. Challenging, fun, rewarding. That is what ...

Re: test track
It's weird, cause my first three turns on my track are right handers, and you can't do that. If you just hold it, it won't turn. Have to hit the the lane change at the right time or you miss. Too soon or too late and you are going the long way around. I wonder if this has to do with the difference f...

Re: New Garden-Track? Your opinion and your thoughts, please
I would take out LC6 and 7. Move LC 8 up to where LC 7 ends on the opposite lane. Then move LC 9 up to a little after where LC 8 is. Last thing I would do is change LC 2 to the opposite lane. Unless you make LC5 a BL. I would still move LC 8 and 9 up though, changing the LC 8 to the other lane. And ...

Re: track paint
I used gloss on my track and would not recomend it. Looks good in pictures, but has too much glare in person. Sometimes it is hard to see the turn markers. I would recommend gloss for the cars though.

Re: MAGracing in Illinois
Thanks for the comments! I did not have a drawing for the track. Kinda made it up as I went. Sat down and just ran laps last night for a good half hour. Can express enough how enjoyable it is. I love the way the car handles with the tires just as they are. Reminds me of the old T-Jets, except when y...

Steering coil
Wes, I was just wondering if there was a reason for the steering coil to be staggered to the side bysides room for the rest of the electronics. I was thinking about putting an extension on the chassis at the front and moving the coil and steering magnets to the center. I have an open wheel body I th...
