- This is a video all about the partial construction of a new rally slot car track I did for a club member. For more slot car stuff, please see my website Swift Sixteen, thank you.

Excellent craftsmanship and detailed walkthrough. The texture paint is a great idea. Looking forward to watching your next builds. Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺
Nice work Rob thanks.
Thanks 🙂
Superb craftsmanship! It looks like it will be a fun circuit to race on. Very nice work!
Thank you 🙂
On the clubs Rally / Demo track that I made, I used the "clamps" that held the boards together, to also complete the electrical circuit between the boards.
For a second I thought it was part 2 to the rally build. Nice track build.
That's done and loaded and ready to go live next Sunday 🙂
Thank you I am looking for ideas of making a rally track for my new club, I like the sections and the fact it can be made up quickly and put away, having a permanent track down all the time is not an option. I feel inspired to give it a go so again “Brilliant 👍”
That s good to hear 🙂
Best slot car channel on RUclips, and I'll fight anybody that says otherwise.😄
Lol, that's funny 😀 Thanks Man
Can't argue with that ❤
Wish I'd seen this before going down the Sandtex route for my Car Park stage! Looking forward to driving it when it's finished.
Have fun with it 🙂
This inspires me to do a HO rally course! I am guessing you used a router for the slot Rob?
I did, 3mm cutter, 9mm deep in 3 passes. The whole thing was done with a straight bar and radius arm.
thanks for this Rob, really useful tips! Couple of questions. 1. What do you exactly mean by "tin" the wire/copper? 2. I've looked at XT60 connectors and they need soldering, is that necessary? Thanks Max
Tinning is when you strip the wire, apply flux and then add the solder to the wire ready for joining. You'd 'tin' both items to be soldered and then bring them together and melt them into one. To tin the copper, would mean you simply polish the copper with a fibre glass pen or sand paper, add flux and load the fluxed copper with solder. The XT60 connectors will need soldering, there is no other way with those, but they are VERY good connectors and worth the effort.
@@SwiftSlots i think i am missing flux in my soldering slot car life in general!! thanks!
@@maxfreeman3217 Most general 60/40 solder has a resin flux in it already, but there are some that say that is enough, I say it isn't. Adding more flux is always a good idea, flux helps everything flow, even if you use too much! DON'T use plumbers copper pipe flux!! It is VERY corrosive and will eat your wires away after a few years, ask me how I know!!! It also falls down like rain when soldering with it and shorts out electrics, again, ask me how I know! Use a good quality water/acid based flux and you'll be fine 🙂
