Looking to see if the Aurora 1/32 AJET track can be used to create 4-lane layouts? In the brochure I have, they only show 2 lane, but it also lists 60 degree curve and 2 30-degree curves. Has anyone seen the 30-degree curves and could they be used to create a 4-lane setup?

I've attached the listing of the track components they theoretically offered at some point.

Hello there,
I am in the process of acquiring a bunch of Aurora 1/32 sets, cars, etc and have very little documentation. If anyone has any literature that they would like to share, that would be great. Also any info on K&B cars and sets too as they are essentially the same, so I understand. Any thought or advice on this would be appreciated. I am basically collecting to build, tinker with and use a bit, as I am more into the nostalgia than actually racing.
Many thanks!
Tony

Friend he gone so langage is problem, no man translat for me.

''I think I have a problem.'' 

I have 48hrs to get this sorted and back in 'my' room before my wife gets back from Aus'! 

Argh! I forgot the kitchen's full too!

                           

   

Eighteen racers took part in the first of two Tin Top Saturdays that bring our Scalextric digital season to a close. We welcomed back Matthew's brother Daniel for his first taste of our digital format, which he seemed to pick up quickly in the practice session.

   

Simon had designed us another whopper of a layout, taking up most of the length of the Barn and posing a challenge for the more myopic amongst us. It was certainly fun to drive, with good overtaking opportunities and enough Radius 2 corners to keep us on our toes.

The day would start with a 30 minute Sierra - BMW - Commodore team race to get us warmed up and familiar with the track. Then the BTCC weekend simulation - qualifying plus three races - would play out, with lunch and a Carrera Classic Nascar race interspersed. The day would end with our Muscle Car Mondiale format - a nice leisurely climax to a Saturday of saloon car action.

Race One: Group A Team Race

   

Seventeen racers were divided into five teams of three and one pair - bothers Simon and Mark sharing Alex's BMW. Dean's VL Commodore returned, shared with Ash & Terry, but the remaining four cars were all Sierras. No qualifying this time - we were straight into a dry race...

   

The similar machinery always gives us a pretty close race and the start of this one couldn't have been tighter. Simon took the lone BMW into the lead of a six-car snake. Driving well in the middle of the pack, newcomer Daniel got a fine Tin Top welcome, being punted off the bridge and onto the floor - rear axle and gearing repairs dropping him well back and leaving five cars battling for the lead...

   

Drivers changed every ten minutes, apart from the Coombes brothers who'd swap over at half way. At ten minutes, Simon didn't need to pit and that gave the BMW a nice advantage over the chasing pack. Matthew had work to do to close a 12 lap gap at the back. Simon handed the BMW to Mark and they still looked good going into the final driver change - although he'd be up against a very strong bunch of drivers on the final leg...

   

It was incredibly close at the front with three cars in with a shout of the win. The BMW was out of sequence on pit stops and Mark dropped off the lead in the pits - but the others - Mike and Alex's Sierras - would need to stop too. The Commodore had dropped off the lead pace and Terry had Oliver closing in fast. It did eventually come down pit stops. The red Sierra of Mike, Rob & Daniel spent 16 seconds less in the pits and finished on the same laps and just ahead of Alex, Ollie & Stephen's blue car. Mark & Simon came in a lap behind, Mark just couldn't match the pace of Mike and Alex in the closing stages...

   

Behind, Oliver pipped Terry to fourth place, both cars finishing on the same lap after a frantic battle through the final ten minutes. The Écurie Escargot Sierra - last December's winner - came home 15 laps off the lead, having eventually recovered from that early crash damage.

   

Here are the results and stats from the opening race...

Congratulations to our winners - Mike, Rob & Daniel - and to all our teams on a scintillating start to the day...

         

         

         

Some of these Group A cars might appear later in the Muscle Car Mondiale race, but now we would focus on BTCC...

So if you can afford space for 45x25mm PCB in your slot car then Scorpius users can just plug n play this little beauty. Apparently it’s quite punchy for its size. Let’s see.


   

I scratch built a car for my friend Richard. He originally wanted it painted red. I hinted that we already had a red '62 BelAir in the club. I convinced him to go with Tamiya gold. I was not happy with how the paint went on. However, my friend was kind enough to accept it. The car went through a number deslots. The paint does not stand up well for a slot car. It looks like it went through WW2. Not because of my friend's driving. The paint job simply sucks.

   

I offered to paint another body and mount it to the original chassis. This time with Tamiya bright red TS-49. I should have listened to my friend.

Much better now.

   
   
   

There's still a little chrome pen work, and some grill details to be done.

Thank you very kindly for looking,
Ken

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better…….
In car cameras are nothing new but this is the worlds first camera integrated within a digital slot car system.
Just 6x6mm, I2C compatible by Seeed Industries.
All plug and play. Configure the MPD. Job done.
Not a priority but on the list of firmware jobs.

     

Saw this and figured I could post it here: https://community.hornbyhobbies.com/foru...tric-club/
