Re: My third track

Joel, let me know when you're coming up...always time for some laps. We have 2 wood slotcar tracks that we race on every week. Guys, I have 10 cars & controllers, lots of batteries & chargers and a timing system...everything but a track (for now). I've put everything away for a while and may...

Re: My third track

I've put the project on hold for a while. Can't get our group interested in MagRacing. They have a lot invested in slot cars and don't have any interest in anything new.

I'm not getting rid of any of my stuff, because I still see lots of potential...just need to find the right people

Re: My third track

I set up the track today to test the LeMans start. Because I was by myself, I set all the cars to run off one controller and tried a few starts.

Re: Another new guy

Bryan...I've had to move the old MagTrack outside, don't know if you still want it. I've covered it with a plastic dropcloth, but it won't last too long once the rain starts.

My third track

Our last track was a test of different ideas, some worked, most didn't. Also, it was possible to run an entire race without steering, which made it a bit easier for guys new to the system (i.e. everybody). This new track will require steering at each corner, or you'll be going the long way. There wi...
