Hi All,
I thought I would share this project with you. I built this track last year, however my laptop died on me so I couldn't share my progress until now. Here is a test I did beforehand skidpad link
My brief:
Create a routed track which can fit though a loft hatch, and is still fun to drive. As I still live with my parents
a permanent track was not a going to be possible.
The specification
Lanes: 1
Area: 2400 x 500 mm
Track board: 12mm MDF (CNC cut)
Paint: Acrylic Eggshell water based paint
Slot: 8mm deep (CNC)
Barriers and gantry: 3mm MDF (laser cut)
Designed using Adobe Illustrator
Electrics:
Scalextric power base, DS lap counter
Other details
White line: 1mm deep route, 1mm mount board (laser cut). (I will explain this later)
Rumble strip 0.4mm birch ply (laser cut)
The Plan
As you will see its a pretty simple track. All of the curves are hairpin based. I did this to make the lap flow as much as possible in the very confined area.
