Re: Magracing under new management

Just wanted to give my perspective of things. I did have private E-mail with Wes (long time) before. You have an aging customer base and no new to pull in. I'm 60, and I'm one of just two potential customers I'm aware of for magracing, not the scale buidings If you have something, consider starting ...

Re: Magracing under new management

By the way I did not intend to be sarcastic. ​Just wondering how you did accomplish this while staying with a potential pds 60 sales chassis price. All I'm saying is if you have combined magnetic following with RC control, that would open in my mind new possibilities for magracing track build. I loo...

Re: Magracing notes, Nov. 2015

Ned, dead easy. I'm using sketch-up free for a lot of things too. Download it and start playing with some basic shapes. It's all the same, you draw something in 2D in a 3D environment, and use the "push up/down" tool to change it into a 3D shape (in this case the base plate of the car) The...

Re: Idea on different guide wire set-up allowing cars to ski

I think for the most part the cars may drive right over each wire in an almost straight line, each time only adjusting toward the center angle poing a little bit. The angle would have to be more acute than 30 degrees. I do not think that would work on curves... if you were to the outside of the cur...

Re: Idea on different guide wire set-up allowing cars to ski

sure, this shows the 4 wheels and the steering magnet on a straight section of track where the racing line is on the left side of the track. The blue lines are the wires.

Idea on different guide wire set-up allowing cars to skid

First of all, apologies for this long first post. I don't have Magracing. I purchased Kickstarter Real FX as I thought it would be a better system, but I'm disappointed with it. I personally am looking for: - a system that provides a greater amount of freedom for the cars. To me the car should take ...
