I was asking because you use them a bit different than I normally see round the forum. ( I do like it)
Are you running magnet or non magnet ?
(I never have problems with R1 and no-mag cars)
You should check this build thread for inspiration
Cool Build
Looking forward for progress on this "Switchblade" track.

Since I started on my digital layout I've noticed a couple of things.
I've used the Aston Martins as a reference car on my different layouts, and the other day I noticed a thing that makes a huge difference on them.
My DHL Aston, the same as yours, is not a DPR car but as a consequence they fitted the emitter diode very close to the end of the guide blade and this car hardly ever misses a lanechange even when sliding some, whereas on the DPR cars the emitter diode is an inch + from the guideblade thereby making it more prone to miss lanechangers this really bugs me and I'm wondering when they will finally realize that the emitter diode belongs infront/built into the guide and start selling new guides for digital cars.
btw. if you don't like people calling you BOSS then what should we call you......Spreadsheet wizard Maybe ?
Kind regards

Great progress on the track, The advertizing on the barriers and the trees really livens it up.
I guess you choose the low trees to accommondate the track being folded against the wall, else I would try to get/make some taller ones as well to mix it up a bit.
Why don't you do some kind of rock in that small area so the cars goes around something ?
cheers

so what would you rather have 1 rib broken 6 times or 6 broken ribs ??
Yes Scalextric can be dangerous, the other day I was reparing my controller(a Fly one) and forgot that it was plugged in then decided to un-insulate some wire with my mouth !!!
Well I'm glad I was only using a standard Scaley power supply.
good luck with keeping still.
cheers
