Slot forum test track....

Great idea!!!!!!!!!!!!

once we have a layout, we could set it up using Ninco, Carrera, SCX, Scaley.... no matter what.

In the list, besides the car, we would just have to jot down

-which track

- which tyres

- mag no mag

So this could be a cool list.

BTW. I would suggest, to use 1/100 sec accuracy, as 1/10 is rather coarse.

Hi all,

I agree, a bridge does not add to it and makes it more difficult to compare lap times.

I would like to suggest the following layout:



Size for Ninco (Scaley should be a bit smaller): 2.84mx1.32m
Track length of inner lane: 11,37m
Racing is done on the inner lane

Pros (imho):
- Should suite at least Scaley, Ninco, SCX
- No crossing
- Mostly, inner lane is used - not many borders required
- R1 is taken on the outside as the inner lane is too tight in my opinion, therefore outer borders are added there.
- R1, R2, R3 included
- If required, size can be reduced by removing straight pieces from the horizontal straights.
- Change-over for (simple) handling test

Cons:
- No chicane
- You will tell me more

BTW: Anyone here who would like to do that for Ninco?

Regards,
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.

as already stated I'll also vote for E/F (in fact F as I go with Ninco).

I strongly suggest running counterclock-wise. Running into an R1 hairping from a 7-piece-straight isn't really fun.

I prefer negotiating through the EssEss, diving into the hairpin and then accelerating down the straight.

I think the skill of the driver won't make the difference on this simple track. Most will be able to learn this track very easily.

I think it will be the cars and their set-up. I'm very keen on knowing how good my cars are, compared to others.

As Mr. Flippant said, I think there will be in-depth-discussions about the best tuning and set-up of the cars...

Fine to have AAWSC here, so I'm not the only one doing it in Ninco .

Cheers,

Diegu

Did some testing on F with Ninco.

Hey, this track is more ambitious than I thought it would be. Makes fun.

Remarks: The track is a bit bumpy, as I had to build it above my existing track. Also track has to be cleaned better.
Better times should be possible.

However, here you are:

Direction: counterclockwise, all cars no mag but lead, 12V

Hi,

set up the test track again and did some more testing.
This time:
- clean track
- flat surface
- Test with 12V and 13.8 V
- Voltage supply: stabilized power supply, 0-25 V, 0-3 Amps

All Cars almost OOTB, but lead added and tires have been changed.
As the cars with their current motors are quite aggressiv, I was assumed there would be no improvement on giving higher Voltage. I event thought my times would be slower with 13.8V. So lets see what happened:



Concerning 12 and 13.8 V, my findings are:
- Using 13.8V makes cars harder to handle
- May lead to slight improvements in top-lap-times
- May also lead to worse lap times, as car is harder to handle.
- Differences on this track only in the area of 0.01secs.

Regards,
Diegu
PS: No testing of Scalex Grand Torino, this time, as there are problems with this one

Well done, hankscorpio

Looks like you had to do some hard work.

Very interesting results. Especially, this extreme fast ProSlot 911 by RIM!!!
Also interesting, that most Scalextric guys chose to run with magnet.

Looking forward to some more Ninco times, seems I'm alone
