Routing Strip:
A 96" long Lexan strip with holes drilled every 1 1/2" for use with #17 finishing nails or similar, which allows you to route just about any curve or corner that you an imagine down to a 7 1/2" radius.
Routing Guide:
A 96" piece of Sintra which is used in the already routed slot to guide your router for subsequent slots.
Router Base Plate:
A 3D printed router base that allows for 3", 3.5", or 4" (or any measurement, actually) lane spacing. Some modifications to the plate may be required to mate up to the router base being used. Uses your existing router hardware. Since these are 3D printed, I can "pre-drill" the holes for mounting it to your router. All I need is some information about your router, so that I can make sure the holes are the right size, and in the right places. As mentioned, I can easily customize the print for whatever lane spacing you want.
How-To DVD:
This DVD covers all the aspects of creating a slot car track from wood. It is about 2 hours in length and covers everything from routing the slot to adding landscaping elements. It's a great way to get a feel for all the fun involved in track building before you even buy lumber. After watching this video you will be able to create the track of your dreams!
Taping Tool:
This taping tool is constructed from Lexan, nylon, PLA, and fasteners. The 3D printed spool holds one roll of Venture brand copper tape (not included) and the Lexan holding plate holds the tape and spool in place on the Lexan upright using the included machine screw and wing nut. The Lexan baseplate provides a solid base to slide along the routed surface while two nylon guide pins ride in the slot. Also included is a pad just aft of the tape guide that helps to press down the tape as you move the taping tool along the track surface. A tip sheet is included to get the most from your taping tool.
