    Very good points you've put across. I hope the likes of Scalextric watch your videos. I think there's also a market for lap timing in the analogue world. I'm currently stuck with the old scalextric 1 tenth of a second system and a Carrera optical system which eats batteries for fun.

    Great video, I just finished editing..... Joking! 😂😂 Great points to highlight, I agree a lot because, I've filmed myself having crazy fun over a few years with Albert and it transpires some other people also like crazy fun too and subscribed just like you outlined, as my channel grew, I played around with other things like lives it shorts and yes, if you get someone who's overwhelming the live chat comments, it feels like it's your own reputation being dragged into it because it's your chat and you're limited to how distracted you can get 😮. We should learn to live more in the moment and enjoy the community of different facets across the hobby, be involved, people will find your channel. Well put Dave, good chat 💯🔥🔥

    Hello Dave. I was wondering before you took it apart, how much dust and rubber you would assemble through the cleaning process. I was astonished how much came togehter there. Now think of ll the fine dust , which is in your surrounding air then. Some might say now, what fine dust? Well, it is not a cesret, that fine dust is in all of our air outside in the cityies and also in the country, due to the winds blowing it all ove the countries. There was a research done last year here in Germany, where the investigated the fine dust and where it all went, due to the rubber grinded off in traffic. It showed, that those small fine dusts had layed down into field salad in the fields, outside the cities for instance. It also grew into the plants itself, because the earth was contminated with the dust. Now think of all the fien dust we inhale each and every day. I am not talking about our tracks only. I mean outside in the nature and the city. I live on a public street, where there is a lot of traffic each and every day, the dust that collects in my appartment is a menace and I sometines think, I must be static magnet for all that dust comming in. The whole universe is comming in here. lol No honestly, those Silicon`s and PU`s -Tires are doing that in small amounts, too. But they do. But, we do breath it in. It won`t kill us, but the amount makes the poison. Inside and outside our places, we are contaminated to it and to me it is all Chemistry. going in circles Just like the expanding and shrinking rails, plus the dust collected inbetween the small gaps there. I weasn`t aware of the R4 curves having this issue. So I learned something today and it prooves to me, that Carreras cheap poduction faults add up onec more here. You had a good point at one of your last clips, mentioning the odd quality by Carrera and the better Polycar and Scaleauto tracks. That is a point to think over. I choosed Carrera again for my tack-system and I learned a lot about the pros and cons the recent two years. I was blinded by the good old Carrera stuff we had decades ago and how it changed when Carrea was sold to the Austrian Co. , which is now combined under the roof of Revell. To me, these two companies care about selling more than quality. That is a fact, that should not be ignored. 😎 Good content, Brother. Keep it comming and more of that Jazz! 😉
