That might work well for MAGracing, what do you think? Or would it be too tight?

Hi Lasp, I was just showing the way I joined the track pieces together. The pieces of cardboard are 2033mm x 860mm and which corner are you interested in? The small one on the pit entrance is too small you have drive very slowly to make it around.

How about pocket screws to join the pieces. I would use hardwood because these ones are pine and they split. They are easy to use and are adjustable for tension. I used the guard rail foam to cushion the wood.

Might we use the body mount magnets for connections? They don't go out when you wipe out but they do slow the car down. Night ...

I have to mention that one thing that I really liked when I first saw the MAGracers is that I would never have to buy another set of tires. After years of 1/24 scale and buying or making sponge tires weekly the silicone 1/32 tires are great, glue them true them and keep them clean. I am sure a MAGra...

I am still testing, what I did notice was that the car did not seem to be consistent with top speed or braking. So I was looking at the car and noticed that there was something stuck on one of the battery magnets. I cleaned the magnet off and lost the brakes and gained the top speed back. I have bee...
