RE: Dakar Rally Raid - Kevan - 23rd-Nov-25

Yes but who else makes Raid track?

RE: Dakar Rally Raid - Kevan - 23rd-Nov-25

...as I just found out on Google, Ninco is another option for Raid track

Jeremy has the SCX stash, I'm the Ninco man...

This crate-full was a recent acquisition of the full Ninco off-road set. I already had quite a bit - enough to run stages for the two Extreme Slotting proxies that Graham organised in 2022 & 2023...

The surface of the Ninco is rough - but not too rough for standard rally cars. It can be taken up a notch by adding some obstacles that fit into the track. There are none of the special track pieces that SCX offered.

I now have lots of straights, both standard and inner curves, plus a whole stack of 'dune' pieces. For next summer's event at the Barn, I am planning to build some benchwork for as big a dune as is workable - the 'Dune of Doom' - and then use all of the remaining track (plus a bit of tarmac) to build a massively long layout à la FOLM.

The Off Road proxy events were great fun 

The 'Dune of Doom' hey......

Here's the elevation,  the 'Ladder of Doom' and the drop down to the stadium area I built a few years ago now.

I have just measured both track types...top of rail to top of plastic forming the base of the slot: -

Scalextric Classic - 5.5mm
SCX Off-Road - 6.5mm

It's not my favourite branch of Slot cars but do have some Raid vehicles but never driven 'offroad'.

I used to race RC offroad many years ago, 1/10th 2WD and 4WD and a 1/8th IC 4WD.

Note the man-made track surface in the last photo. You don't have to stick with the expensive Ninco and SCX products
