I wish I was building last year when that sale happened..I would have done the same thing... Great video thank you for the great ideas..... I'm stoked...New Sub
Thanks for sharing all this information... My son is only 3, but i'm super excited to make something like this with him down the path. Cheers for the ideas and the inspiration!
hello friend, greetings again, in the wide part where the jump is I recommend you make a ramp that receives the cars of the jump, since not having shock absorbers, they bounce a lot and the number of perfect shots is reduced and so the cars should complete the circuit For my part, I congratulate you for making the 3d prints and I hope you can distribute them worldwide, it is a tradition that I want to recover and that both young people and adults enjoy the competition and I would like you to participate in the competition that you are going to inaugurate with an official vehicle from the Moplotrack channel
Nice work, and glad you liked the sidewalls. I’ve found them best at the exit to the turns, as it keeps the cars on track. All my designs are currently done in blender but I liked that simple extrude shape along a path you showed. Used fusion for a short time a few years back and may look into it again. Might also look into one of those creality printers as well as my current printer only does 150mm max so it’s too small for track pieces like that. Liked your idea for the thin inserts to add the grooves. Definitely one of the trickier things to do on custom tracks.
Thanks Mr. Watson. It makes me happy that you found the video useful. I'll make a little video with how I approach designing track in Fusion 360 with more detail. I'm thinking that having a downloadable svg file that shows the dimensions of my track that can be imported into Fusion 360 might be a great way to let people explore designing track pieces without having to troubleshoot all the measuring. Keep up the great work and happy holidays!
Hey just found your channel, You just eared a subscriber! This was really enjoyable to watch. Look forward to seeing the track progress. One thing I tend to notice as a viewer is the speed of the track, aside from 3d other channels seem too fast. The pace you have is really good, keep up the good work!
100% agree. Right now, even the top level of my track is a little too fast and still causing cars to flip. Really hoping for a track where I can control the speed but has lots of interesting obstacles. Thanks for the feedback!
WOW!!!! I am just getting into the hobby. I just started looking for information yesterday. What a gold mine to run into you now you save me a lot of time. I was watching 3dbotmaker. And I went back to beginning of his videos and found that while he did make all that stuff he quit. So now I'm looking for what is out there. You have been a big help I need to run up to Walmart
Welcome aboard! Crash racers are great and there are a lot of other great ways to make tracks too. Some of my favorite tracks out there are people just making it up with stuff they have. Have fun with it and thanks for watching!
You could also print in TPU,... tha would give you flexibility and it still would be stiff enough to use... sorta like original hot wheels track... and you can set the firmness by changing the number of walls and/or infill
Just subscribed. I am new to the diecast racing but have been 3d printing for a bit and use fusion for some of my cad work. Great stuff so far, excited for the next update!
Found your channel recently and oh boy, we re started the car racing again. I Need to delve deeper in fusion 360, I been using the magtrack connectors I 3d printed back to back a few years back and yes coroplast is slippery I may try spraying some plastidip maybe to get some extra traction but I don't thing it will last that long. I need to add my remixed to thingieverse.
SUGGESTION: use velcro to hold down your tracks it has a suspension effect, allows the track to shake without moving.. you can use staples on the wood and the stickers on the tracks.. and easy to replace tracks.. On the coroplast sliding issue you can use some spray (very light spread cover) to give more grip or , make some fin stripes using tape painting very thick layers.. you can use polish to maintain the track colour .. I hope it helps
Oh good. I was pretty nervous about all the nerd talk up front. That's the type of video I enjoy watching but I wasn't sure if other people would just say, "Where's the racing?" I'm excited to start working on the next one. Thanks for your support!
The 3D printing is a good option. In Australia we don't have a lot of resources . And Importing from the USA is expensive. Example: The NASCAR set only shows up on American Ebay.
The best printed part in my opinion for die cast racing would be 180% turns to connect to the super six lane raceway, sold in a two pack consisting of two six lane turns in opposite turning directions of each other to equal out lane length by the end of the race. I assume this piece probably isn't possible with many printers as the size is on the larger side but damn would a parts set like that sell well, in fact I'm kind of surprised hot wheels themselves haven't produced an add on set for the six lane yet.
That's an interesting part to consider. I think you are right about the size of 3D printers being an issue. Might need to print it in 22.5 degree segments, which would mean 8 pieces for each 180 turn. I don't have any 6 lane track to design against but it would be interesting. Thanks for watching.
Instead of grooves, try 6 recessed impressions, the track profile would be like an analog wave instead of the digital wave you have. No harsh edges but still persuasive to keep the cars straight.
An idea for the transition for the inlays, going from track A to B, tape the first part of the track B so it stays down. If that end of track A isn’t down, it might be u- a bit for a smoother transition? Just found your channel and love it!
I haven't tested the idea but I was thinking of getting into track building but using sprayable plastidip over the slick surface and having aftercare (from Dip your car) to see the difference. The after care makes the dip practically glass like though so may or may not work
I've been considering testing plastidip to soften the track a little. The 3D printed track it quite hard and I sometimes miss the softness that the more flexible Hot Wheels track has.
Using Frosted Glass spray paint & then lightly sanding it off makes coroplast work as a straight track. I've tried primer as well & it works too. HomeDepot has Coroplast 4'x8' sheets in white for $35.98 FYI.
Nice. I'm really excited to get building. I've just made some progress on a 3D printed open track solution that I'm super excited about. Hopefully I can get it down well enough to be as good or better than crash racers. Thanks for watching!
I love what you're doing, I'm in Colchester, Essex, England and am embarking on building a track. I have a Qidi XMAX 2 printer but as yet haven't started the build, I'm still doing the research. Any tips or hints would be amazing, thanks
Print some SR2 dual lane files on Thingiverse.com and see how you like them. Just search for Spool Heads Racing. I'd love to know what you think. Thanks!
your jump might land better if the landing is downhill instead of flat and hard. just put a small maybe 3/4 inch block under the landing tracks end under the jump track. would be my suggestion.
Awesome video, I learned a lot, thanks! 15$ for Adventure Force set was a steal, it cost around 90$ on amazon in EU lol xD I had to ask my aunt in US to send me some, I can't wait to get them. Btw, we need an update video, how's the track going? Cheers!
Great video and the 3D printing but was good. I have ender3 pro and used it for various track side objects,buildings and mini people…but I always wished to be able to design my own track parts to suit my track design. But finding time to master fusion seemed too hard, on top of building, landscaping, racing, filming and editing. I never made a video untill a short while ago so I am had to learn to do that to amateur level. Plus learning 2’ed printing and slicing it got put into til the too hard basket. Maybe it’s time to revisit that option…so please do make fusion tutorial please! Good video and it’s great to have fun with the kids…priceless
First off, you do great work on your channel. Keep em coming! Thanks so much for the comment. It is overwhelming at times with all the stuff to try to learn/master. About a year ago I tried learning Fusion 360 and made some good progress, but then I got distracted. Coming back to it, it made a lot more sense this time. I'm not a master at Fusion 360 yet, but the good news is that making track isn't too complicated. I'm happy to make a tutorial on how I approach it. I've had a lot of fun racing with the kids. Time goes so fast that I'm just trying to make the most of it with them. Thanks for watching the video and engaging in it!
I want to do is use a few big chunks of styro and make a 4-5 piece track that breaks down and sets up and moves easily 😉 Im may be outta my mind as i am ignorant to how or what I will use, but want to carve out the entire track and scenery foundation and coat, paint road ways with something that can wire to the low voltage needed so the whole roadway is powered ? I may make this into a group question, help, ides effort 😉 but imagine the fun and creativity that could be done and to just break down and put in van and move set up & play at new house, before the movers show up 😉any ideas or thoughts ?
As I wish I could race my car's with my grandson's I have about 200 car's I think we could have a lot of fun. Money is a issue to. But my knowledge keeps me back too.
Wow! That is one great quality video. Your channel will explode! I love the design of the track so far. Will you share your track design on Thingiverse some day?
Thanks Jeff! Yes, I'm making some final tweaks to finesse the fit from my design to transition to crash racers a little better, then I'll release the dual and single lane straight and 45 degree turns. I'll also release Hot Wheels track spacers that will also work to hold down crash racers. Thanks again for your support!
@@spoolheads You are doing a great job. We are happy to be there for you. (being all new to this too) And We love the fact that you are designing most part yourself! Happy to know you will be sharing. If you ever want to collaborate or something, write to us, we would be happy to. Keep up the good work, I'm sure your track will be incredible once finish.
If you want fast basic cars you want the ones built in Indonesia aka 5 Pack/multi pack exclusives. No idea why they’re faster but if you compare them it is faster
Oh gosh... I can't remember. I think I just did a quick Google search and it came up. If you are using Fusion 360, you might look at my video where I show how I design track in Fusion 360. ruclips.net/video/r8TPRYlgRiA/видео.html
After more research, Dmitriy Shakhmatov designed the '19 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss LT which looks very similar except for it is a crew cab instead of an extended cab. I should try to connect with the designers to try to figure it out. Thanks for your comments and support!
I'm new to Diecast racing so maybe u can help me understand. How are the cars able to go so fast at the start when u drop the start gate? I was thinking the cars are remote or electric but u use regular Hot wheels though. Also I have 2 3D printers 1 filament the other resin. Have u ever tried resin and if so do u think it's just as good as filament?
Just browsing, time for racing, first 3 cars are Subaru. My kind of guy Edit: Then I hear you vote for the Mitsu... heart broken. I thought we had something :[
I would print the 22.5 degree turns then and just print more of them to make the angle you want. You can print the SR1 connector for them or you can just use standard Hot Wheels connectors. Good luck!
It sounds like the best printer out there right now in the price range is the Bambu Labs printer. Creality just announced something similar that has a bigger build volume. That will be cool when it ships.
Hey diecast fam came across you channel and I’m very interested in your work i am currently building a larger race track and looking for different idea let me know if you’ll like to collaborate I have over 20million views in the last month 👍
It must be the greatest thing for a kid to have a parent who's into fun stuff like this. So awesome.
LOL. I think it is great to have kids that will play with me!
Fantastic! Super inspired design. Can’t wait to watch this unfold. You’re elevating the game with your work. Keep it up!
Thanks Sonny. It's a lot of fun to design the track. My work doesn't allow me to play "engineer" very often so I have to do it in my play.

Thanks for the suggestion! Let's keep in contact about races.
Great insightful and informative video! 👏 Looking forward to your track and innovative 3D printed pieces. Subbed! 👍
Thanks for the comment. That’s great feedback that is really encouraging.
Nice work, and glad you liked the sidewalls. I’ve found them best at the exit to the turns, as it keeps the cars on track.

Try using long stripes of rubber tape on coroplast. No bumps and better grip!
Pretty cool. Great balance of both the technical and the fun stuff.

I think vinyl siding works good for open track racing, 2 lanes , I run 2 wide in each lane but you can squeeze ‘em 3 wide
Love it!

paint plasti-dip on the plastic, it is like a tin rubber coating that will increase cars stability on a slick track
Someone else mentioned that and I think it's a great idea. I'll have to pick some up soon. Thanks for the comment!
really interested to see what you come up with for open track. I also picked up a ton of packs of crash racers during that sale.

@@spoolheads GL! Can't wait to see the final result :)
maybe some rubber ? on some places, instead of grooves (rised lines) to get the cars straight running? =)
Good thinking
The Manga Tuner is also a Noppo styled car.
That's super cool to see old Noppo cars and how the Manga Tuner draws from that. Thanks for the heads up there.
Sometimes it takes a few races for spanking new cars to speed up. They have to ware in the fresh production burs.
See. The lancer evolution got faster almost every lap.
Great point!

There are some stl files posted on thingiverse. Just search for spool heads sr2.
I am from Brazil. I liked you videos very much. How about the tutorial I've mencioned in your video?
I made a Fusion 360 tutorial you can check out on the channel. Thanks and tell Brazil hi!
what material did you use to 3d print the tracks ? sorry i'm just about to buy a 3d printer just for this ..
I'm new to Diecast racing so maybe u can help me understand. How are the cars able to go so fast at the start when u drop the start gate? I was thinking the cars are remote or electric but u use regular Hot wheels though.

What is that car holder dropper called. The thing that holds the cars potential energy and you press something and the cars start racing?
That’s an old start gate I made.
i need that kind of launcher where to search for?
bit late.. try a light layer of flex seal spray
That's a great idea. Thanks!

Hi there, how do you print it flat on bed like that with those huge overhangs?
I end up printing most track pieces vertically on a raft and designing so it doesn't need much support.
Are you going to be publishing your track files?
There are some stl files posted on thingiverse. Just search for spool heads sr2.
Maybe try buying the Tomica Subaru Sambar instead.
Nice. I'll have to track one down.
Hey so I'm having my local library 3d print me some turns but their printer is only 5.8 x 5.8x 6.6 . How do I split the print for two separate pieces?
I would print the 22.5 degree turns then and just print more of them to make the angle you want. You can print the SR1 connector for them or you can just use standard Hot Wheels connectors. Good luck!
@@spoolheads good thinking ! Thanks man

Hey diecast fam came across you channel and I’m very interested in your work i am currently building a larger race track and looking for different idea let me know if you’ll like to collaborate I have over 20million views in the last month 👍
For sure let's chat and figure out a way to collaborate. Send me a message at facebook.com/spoolheads or email me at russ at spoolheads.com
Cheapest crash racers option for me here in europe is about $100 plus customs.
Always love hearing americans complain about stuff being expensive...
We are great at complaining for sure! ;)
The 5 year old is right., He's too tall. Top heavy!!
LOL. Yes!
Hopefully you didn't buy them out , I'm trying to start a die cast race track.
LOL. spoolheads.com has some more options now :)
Hey I love your WIP tracks! I sent you an email also if you have a chance :)
Thanks Brendan. I didn't see an email yet, but you can send me one at russ(at)spoolheads.com.
@@spoolheads I sent another!
I don’t think the drop is working for you.
100% agree. I took it out in a later video to explore adding a jump instead. Thanks for the feedback. It's great help.
Are you posting your 3d builds on thing averse?
There are some stl files posted on thingiverse. Just search for spool heads sr2.
