I had a track in the 70’s and had no desire for another one but this brings back memories and is extremely interesting and makes me want to build one like this. The fact you started as a food reviewer and now cover Jimmy’s track is great
Thank you - it has been a fun ride
Absolutely fantastic design! And by far the nicest track I have ever seen. The people that have raced on this track have no idea how lucky they are.
Why thank you very much USA164 for your kind comment! Please go back and share the video with your friends, and don't forget to subscribe my friend!
Very nice video. I like the practical explanation on "paper" about the lane configuration. About digital, it is a very similar to AC2Car: you can run any car your want. The proviso is that 1) you have to use a digital chip that is compatible with the track system you are using (like a digital chip that "understands" carrera digital protocol) and 2) the car can accommodate the digital chip.
The switch on the carrera cars is there because their digital system has the positive polarity on the left rail: so if you want to take a carrera digital car to race on a standard analog track you can provided that you flip the switch (and press three times the throttle)
Thank you for the very clear and concise explanation of the ac2car system. I have always loved the carrera slot cars and the switch is a bonus for your setup. Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺
I'm not new about slot cars, But I just watched your video on how you wired your whole slot car track and all of the amazing work that you have done. I'd like to tell you that is some awesome work. And that I have watched some of your videos. You do some great work.
Thanks Ryan and Jimmy. Very clear explanations. Always great to be invited to the track and see you guys at work.
Great glad you are enjoying the how it's. Thanks Bruce for all your friendly comments. Please go back and share the video with your friends, and don't forget to ask them to subscribe my friend!
I am always amazed with the thinking that goes into this beautiful track. I wish I lived near.

Mike I wished you did live near by! Thanks for your nice comments. It,a really a simple system but harder to explain then it is to do. Please go back and share the video with your friends, and don't forget to subscribe my friend.
@@jimmyattard1446 I am subbed , Thanks Jimmy
I am very happy to see more of these videos again. Jimmy you did an excellent explanation of the ac2car system. Thank you both for continuing this series. I think it amazing that all of your scenery maintains lifelike and realistic colors and textures and scale. It really looks awesome!
Thank you for your kind words Tokitchi. I love scale modeling so it is easy for me to try to keep my models and scenery as life like as I can. I really enjoy it. Making the track a scale 1/32 width was important to me and thus grouping the lanes together and cutting a second slot for your car on the other side of the roadway helped me achieve that realistic scale. width.
Tokitchi, please go back and share the video with your friends, and don't forget to subscribe my friend.
Guys, I enjoy your videos and look forward to seeing more. Thank you.
Great Fr bank....and thanks for your kind comment! Please go back and share the video with your friends, and don't forget to subscribe my friend.
Great video, very well explained . you guys are genius!
Thanks again John. Please go back and send this video to any of your friends who may be interested and thank you for your comment my friend!
Great show
This is another outstanding tutorial and how you put this together. Being in HO Guy, I’m sharing this with the building groups that size. Somebody somewhere is going to take this idea and run with it and invent a system for HO cars. It might be a little more challenging because of the size though and how you would have to wire it from the shoes. But there are plenty of guys who are actually former racers, someone who still race on tracks as well as mechanics and engineers that I think would love the challenge of this. Also there are aftermarket companies like viper racing that make an entire 4-8 lane HO track. it would be pretty wild if they come up with a system like this.
Thanks Brandon, Man I would love to see the system applied to ho! I don't see why it couldn't. The diode is so small plus you can buy evan smaller diodes. we have never found a diode that didn't work. It would be so cool to double the amount of cars on a track in HO scale. An go course like that in AC could run a lap 300 ft around!
Great videos please keep them coming 🌴👍👍😎🌴
Thanks again for your support Dave! Please go back and share the video with your friends, and don't forget to ask them to subscribe my friend.
Genius
Check out the wreck in the corner. Cool track
Thank you
Genius!
Wow thanks Steve. I came up with this system solely because I wanted a way to narrow the track to a scale width and get a longer road coarse in my given space. Thanks for your kind comment Steve. Please go back and share the video with your friends, and don't forget to subscribe my friend!
This is fantastic!! I'm totally into this.
I like your enthusiasm Tom! Thanks for your comment. I tried hard to describe the system we use as carefully as I could. Please go back and share the video with your friends, and don't forget to subscribe my friend!
Great info
Thanks for watching!
So can i use carrera analog track with an ac2 transformer & be able to use a carrera digital lane change piece of track to change lanes? Can you explain the lane changing sytem of your traxk? Thanks......
What a fantastic idea! And greatly explained as well. I've a question though: does it stress the motor abnormally because it is switched on and off 60 times in a second? Did you experience more motor failures than with a 'normal' DC system? Or is the motor just so inert that it doesn't matter?
Well SSC that is a question that always comes up. Especially from guys that know electronics. We have been thrashing our slot cars exclusively on AC2car power for well over 20 years now. I had 1 Slot It car lose its motor but I think it was defective from itself because other than that we have had absolutely no motor problems. Note Suoman that it's not that the motor gets turned off or that it's asked to turn the other way every 1/60th of a second... Rather think of it as getting no power every 1/60th of a second. The armature continues to spin and the next 60th of a second it gets power. I hope I answered your question sir.

No Campus, I have this track as my personal passion in my own basement. However I welcome people over to run their scale models about once each month. Please go back and send this video to any of your friends who may be interested and thank you for your comment my friend!
