here is mine (scalextric 1:32), all I could do .... 3 meters by 65cm.

hello everyone, my name is Paolo, I live in Genoa (Italy). I am an old lover of electric trains (indoor G scale) and a few months ago I started the construction of a very small scalextric track in 1.32 scale (3 meters by 65cm). the photo of the hairpin bend (with support poles) is from yesterday, the others from a week ago. I think I'm at a good point, I'm finishing a bit of everything, I still lack some road signs, I'm waiting for 5 trees, then I'll put bushes, some figures (tourists / photographers), and various dust on the track. I wanted to take a disused road, almost abandoned, built on a track that was previously used as a race track, even in formula 1. My source of inspiration is the old track of Charade, in my opinion the most beautiful ever. a warm greeting to all, Paolo

Just released my new power supply adapter plugs. 6-piece set includes 4 controller adapter plugs and 2 power supply adapters. Lets you quickly and easily adapt virtually any 2-wire controllers or power supply to fit AFX & AW style power tracks. Installs in just seconds without any soldering or messy electrical tape. Simply strip the end of your wires, pass them through the plug, and fold back along the side grooves, then plug and play!

   

   

6-pack set is on eBay in limited quantities, but will be printing more this week.

4-pack of just the controller plugs also back in stock in limitied number:

There are a few of these resin bodies floating around SlotRacer. Here's a little inspiration on what they could look like. I'm not a fan of "Tuff Ones", or 1962 "Aurora skinnies". These are Dash wheels and tires.

   
   
   
   

   
   
   
   

Thank you very kindly for looking.

Hi,

I've rebuilt my old wood routed track into a small spare room, which necessitates redoing the timing system.
I know the Audino Uno connection to the PC is ok and working, but am unsure about wiring up the sensors. Can anybody help with what should be a simple question?

I have replaced separate IR LEDs and sensors with an intrack combined unit (Jaycar ZD1901 photo interrupters).
I need help identifying which connections to attach the old wires to as it has both LED and sensors in the one unit. Connections are: 
Cathode (K); Anode (A) on one side, and Collector © and Emmitter (E) on the other. I also need advice as to which of these should have the resistor added.

The Audino sketch and connection is already set up, so should be ok if I wire the hardware the right way.
Previous setup used twin IR LEDs on a gantry, and single sensors in track. I've gone for this combined solution now due to a lack of space above the track (a gantry will hinder marshalling and means the timing is in the wrong (less useful) sector of the track.

Track is a now a 12m 3 lane 3 level twister, fitted into a 2.4 * 1.8m space.

many thanks

Hi,
I'm a long term keen slot racer living in the Snowy region on NSW, Australia. I am a member of the local (ACT located) slot car club, and lived and raced in the ACT for a number of years.

Sorry to post this here but I seem to have a ghost in the machine again.

I keep getting a notice that it's 100% full and I can't send any messages. I emptied it last night but it's full again this morning. I just sent Jason a message telling him and that doesn't appear in the sent box and neither do a couple of chats with Anthony!!

Help!

I am looking to get a fun , interesting layout for a 6x8’ platform. I like the detail look on 1/32 cars but don’t think my space is big enough. So I would be going the direction of a AFX style, unless you have some ideas for me.

Our next race is September 5. Call or email to get details on how to enjoy our free racing program. 603-826-4242.  Racing is free, as are the hot dogs. Here are this week's winners. Spectators welcome, loaner cars available.
