After a few years away from slots I've recently purchased a Carrera Go track and had some fun with it and now want to go routed but stick with the 1/43 scale especially now I have seen some of those lovely Kyosho cars

As I am very limited to what space I have I've decided to go routed but only have 6ft x 4ft to play with and am struggling a little with ideas - does anyone have any good ideas??

I've been having a few tries at this myself and so far have 4 possibilities:

Track 1 - This is one I done a while a go using Ninco track on an 8x4 board but should scale down to 6 x 4 ok.



Track 2



Track 3



Track 4



Any thoughts?

If all else fails, go up.

This is wood, obviously, but in principle, you could do something similar with the carrera. going vertical allows track to overlap in the plan view.

Cheers Datto - building up is certainly something to think about...that track is very cool.

Any variation of a figure eight, where one side is a mirror image of the other. Use an over pass and you will have a child proofed perfectly linear layout. Combine this with a Slot Car Dragon Racing System($89 delivered) and I promise you, and your circle, will find this the most rewarding way to race Slot Cars or your money back. No questions asked.

Happy tracks

Word of warning Alan, once you see how much freedom routing gives you, it is easy to get carried away!

Sorry for the metric-system, but it´s closed to 6x4!

Thanks for the tips there guys...and LLoyd - I have visions of cars leaping to their doom from the top!
