Like many of you, I've been thrilled with my upgrade to the PbPro with Robot Power, along with the SSDC software. The combination creates a real club feel even when racing at home. However, I've been suffering from "Powerbase Overhang" as it sticks out from the layout...
...plus I couldn't get the pickup track where I really wanted it for best performance.
So here we go-- the last in our trilogy of track separation projects. Please look over BEGINNER PROJECT 1 & 2 first, if you haven't done much modeling or electronics. You can do this even with little or no experience-- but I'm not going to repeat some basics like soldering here in this topic. So check those out first please. This is not too hard!
OK. Here's the unit which is molded into one piece. We are going to make it into two pieces so you can put the power base anywhere you want, and the pickup track anywhere as well.
I'm going to grab a coffee, and I'll see you in the next post!
