Slot forum test track...., A way to compare the cars we own? Options

[distantkiwi]

I forgot that it was probably too short for good data. That's why I made the 2nd one.

[Jaak]

It can be extended with 2 extra straights on all 4 sides at the corner sides left two straights in the middle and on the right side one before and after the wiggly bit.

Problem i see with second one is the need for a 1/4 track piece

[Michael363672]

What about this one

Only R2's and 2 45 Deg crossovers leaves only a few outside bends in the esses



Regards Michael

[distantkiwi]

I would think it was too big. Too many straights and curves for a lot of people. Though I do like the way you have used the crossovers to keep the car on the inside lanes.

There, no 1/4 straight. I'm sure it will stretch and join up.

[hankscorpio]

Nice track michael really nice... just those curved crossovers are not available in Ninco or carerra..... but it works really well but at 12x6 i'm out not got a floorspace big enough...

Trev like the number 2 design... a little bit of ironing and maybe something close to what we need...

[distantkiwi]

Iron away. Just don't use a soldering iron please. We don't want any melted track.

[SlotRacer2000]

How about this one?

Or this one if You want to avoid the straight in the esses.


+ Fits on 4'x8'
+ Standard pieces.
+ Fairly long straight.
+ Room for Borders

Room for Scenery and a Pitlane for those who want to make it more permanent.

Twist on Stefan/trevor's tracks for simplicity but adding some "braking" and a longer straight... so the lap is at lest 3 seconds... this will give 1% differential on a 1/10th second timing... enough to catagorise cars into groups...



So with a few ideas now in the mix anybody like to comment on what we have?

anybody have a preference...

any ideas of what to put into a "poll" for collecting ideas..?

[diegu]

Nice proposal.

Long straight, EssEss and R1 included, no R3 as requested by some..

Works with Ninco also. Length of inner lane is 7.41m:



Imho two drawbacks:

- Width of 3.5m.
- R1 is taken on the inner lane.


However, I would vote for this one.

Regards,

Diegu

[GregK]

My vote goes for Diegu's track above.

Have we got enough tracks for a poll yet??

[Michael363672]

Another one from me



Or just flipped it round as it would look to drive better this way round from left to right



Both still use the cross overs to stay on the inside lane

As how would it compare on ninco track or others as it is a different size ?

Michael

[distantkiwi]

Oh please, one more. I'm ready for a poll.



R1's on the outside curve

[hankscorpio]

Ok poll tomorrow... just have to figure if i can post pictures in a poll or if somebody wants to do an tracks all in one post labled a b c etc... a plea goes out especially those who have just got up hint hint hint... as i'm now off to bed

[distantkiwi]

Any last requests?

Option A

Therefore an idea to run maximum inside lane without 90° crossing (I have one but, as stated not everyone has it).

Not finalised, only to show that with the (sport crossing R2 90°) you can also run more inside line on one of the lanes.

Option B

Option C & D

Or this one if You want to avoid the straight in the esses.

Option E

Option F

Option G

Option H

Option I
Plain Oval of some sort. this?

[ute]

can you put the oval in the poll ...i still feel its the best for all .....including newbies...and those on limited budgets
