This is my second track in Toronto...I sold the first one to a car club!  I had this one CNC cut as well:

It's about 81', and less than 2" difference in lane length!  I had the MDF covered with gloss white vinyl, then copper taped it:

Right now I am installing the clear guard rails (1.5 mil clear plastic, the kind you use to protect your grandmothers dining room table!).  My grandson came over last night for dinner, and we turned a few laps...nothing more satisfying than a 4y/o squealing in delight!!! Those black things by the driver stations are individual power supplies, with adjustable voltage up to 30v, and max 5 amps.

Hi All!

Just started and buying into AFX, randomly got a 5$ set at 2nd hand store!

I have purchased a few old sets and got my young ones into this so hope they will love this hobby!

Can anyone give me pointers on how to make tracks digitally for print, is there some software is used for gallery on this site?

I have found list of AFX tracks here: https://www.afxslotcarmuseum.com/afx-set-layouts. I would like to make better-printed versions of that manual. Of which I have a few now.

I am glad this hobby has not died off! As my kids and their cousins love it at first sight!

Does anyone have tips on cleaning tracks, so far I've used 1000grit and wooded block, keen to know if this is ok. (It has been good to cleanup rusted tracks.)

Does anyone know if length of the control cord matters as I am about to experiment with some lengths :D

I've always disliked magnets in HO cars. Now it doesn't matter if the car has traction magnets or not. Unless of course they make wood magnets. 

This is on a 3' by 7' foot base. The track is 3/8" inch MDF. Burnishing is next followed by wiring and power.

   
   
   
   

The track should have power later today. I look forward to running a few laps. MicroScalex cars with braids will be the first test cars. I need to install braids on everything that doesn't already have them. HO proxy racing here with Andy got me started installing braids on HO cars. 

Thank you very kindly for looking.

Slot Rally - 8th Feb 2024

   

Work / holiday / illness again reducing numbers tonight so we drove 6 cars each rather than the usual 4.

With Andy back from ‘down under’ Open Class looked popular again…but no Mitsubishi Evo!

Nine classes were catered for across Standard, ProStock and Open with the most popular being ProStock 2WD.

It’s fair to say we were a bit rusty with the last proper Slot Rally being eleven weeks ago…

A good mix of cars, nothing new tonight but Slot Rally GB 2024 was mentioned with the Manx round getting closer 20/21 April 2024

   

   

—--------------------------------------------------------------

Next week is GP/Prewing F1 plus Small Sports/Saloons

—--------------------------------------------------------------

   

We're back at the Barn for the second Nascar & Legends Wednesday of the year. These are an ideal introduction to our Scalextric digital racing using RCS64 software. They are also a lot of fun!

●    The evenings feature a Nascar club car team race, followed by a bring-your-own Pioneer Legends pairs race.
●    You don’t need to buy any cars to enjoy these Wednesday events.
●    During the evening we gradually introduce the tyre wear, fuel consumption and (maybe) weather features of our RCS64 race management software. Team captains will help you with the nuts and bolts of digital racing - and to the subtleties of race strategy.
●    Doors open at 6.30pm for practice and digital driving school. Teams are allocated and we start racing with evenly-matched club cars as near to 7pm as possible.  
●    An hour of action is divided into three or four segments of either 15 or 20 minutes, including driver changes every five minutes.
●    Teams swap cars at each break - winners with last place, second with fifth etc. After an hour of racing, total laps are added up and prizes awarded at around 8.30.
●    The Pioneer Legends cars are Digital Plug Ready (DPR) so are easy to convert to digital. To compete, racers must have their own - or the offer to share another driver’s car. There are no club cars available.  Full build guidelines are explained in the WHO/Digital 2024 Guide pdf here: https://slotracer.online/community/showt...9#pid34539
●    The usual Legends format is two 8-minute qualifying heats, with a driver change at half-distance.
●    The cars completing the most laps in their 8-minute qualifying heat automatically for the feature race, the other six battle it out for the remaining places in an 6-minute ‘B-Final’.
●    In the unlikely event there are only six legends cars (or fewer), a single twenty minute race is held - a driver change window straddling the half-way point of the race.
●    And that usually takes us up to 9.30pm - or sometimes a little later.
●    Once you have a couple of Nascar & Legends Wednesdays under your belt, then our GT Championship and Digital Saturdays will be a more gentle learning curve!

Entry is £3 (£2 under-16s) for a whole evening of racing. We ask that racers aged under 14 years old bring a responsible adult with them.

Our local race club decided to create a new IROC class around the Ferrari 312P Berlinetta.

Bodies were cast in ten different colours. Six bodies were spoken for in an instant.

   

Any chassis, motor, gears, or configuration.

Chassis were made for a friend and myself. Tires were glued and trued to aluminum wheels.

   

Here's my friend Chris B's Ferrari, fully assembled.
