- Hi everybody,
This is just a quick update to let you know the slot car track videos (and others) will start happening now that "Slot Car Season" has begun ...yay!
Thanks for your patience.
The weather has finally cooled off enough to start working on the track again.
I pulled up all of the XPS foam (the green and purple foam) from the track table, formed the initial shape with a Hotwire Foam Factory sculpting tool and reinstalled. To build up the foam behind the banked turn, I started gluing the second layer of foam to the first layer of foam using "StyroGoo" from the Hotwire Foam Factory (works great and can be easily cut with hotwire tools).
After that, I started with a good cleaning of the track by carefully vacuuming the table and track to get the surface dust/dirt/cobwebs off (ensuring to get all the crap out of the slots/lane changers and optical sensors). Once that is done, I go over the entire track with a Swifter and some 99% rubbing alcohol and then let that evaporate/dry completely. After the track is clean, it was time to dust off the cars, clean the tires, turn on the power supply and start driving. Had a few club members come over and we put the track to the test to ensure everything worked including the race management system so that laps were being properly counted and basically just had a bunch of driving slot cars for an evening.
More videos are on the way...
Be safe and have fun.
Cheers,
Jeff
