The track is made out of 1/2 MDF. the slot is 1/8 set to about 3/8 deep. The bit Tha is used for the braid is a 3/4 router bit that has a special 1/8 pin installed so it will stay in the stay in the slot. the depth is About .030 deep, it all depends on what you use for braid and adhesive. The braid Is from Slot car corner. it is 1/4 wide. the paint is Sherwin Williams latex enamel.
Good video, great 'how to' documenary for those wanting to build their own track. The one making this video must be quite proffesional, the way of setting up this as a documentary, having the guys telling the story, would not think this is the work of a average joe with a camera
Beautiful track!
Great build!
amazing job! congrats!
Great filmmaking. Thanks for this.
Beautiful!!!
Really nice job guys, well done! Thanks for sharing. What speeds are you getting, what is the final length? Great video also. Liked.
Well done!!
Thanks Tony.
I wanted to know the distance between slot and slot. Thank you
Holy crap! Now I look at mine and go "mmm, this needs a serious facelift..."
Great job guy's I wish I had a free minute in my life to get over and run on it...I still have to pick my 917 up... :)...

Hey Guys! In the video I heard you say something about a CNC guy? What was done with a CNC?
thanks
xWere did you get the braided tape for your track
where did you get the router bit?
Where are you located would your group be interested in building a track for me deliving me Myrtle beach SC and setting it up?
I got it from Slot car corner.
What material did you use for the walls to get it to bend with out breaking awesome job guys
The tight bends we used 1/4 and layered it. Use plenty of spring clamps to hold it together until the glue dries. Most of the bends we actually used the same material we used everywhere else. 1/2 MDF is quite bendable.
What's the software used at 2:10?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
wgat did you use for the sides? ( material )
BUTCH Ratell the material is the same as the track surface, it is 1/2 MDF also. I put a Dado in it so I could make it fit in the track surface and make it stronger.
Where is this at?
Do you still have the track?
We did until last week actually we got a new track installed and sold it to one of our local racers.
we get it from Slot Car Corner.
How much did it cost to build a track that size?
It is in Highland Michigan it is about 90 feet running length . The foot print is about 8 feet wide by about 12 feet.
Nice layout, good work. Since youve been so kind to share your build and steps, I have a few important questions please.: MDF 3/4 inch? What size router bit did you use for the slot? What depth did you cut? What size Router bit did you use for the braid's recess? And what depth did you cut for that? How many inches between each slot? Center to center? What roll of braid did you use? Brand? Size? Lastly what kind of surface did you apply? I think were going to build our own too. All the tracks closed here. Our kids need this. All the best to you and yours. Ab
Abbey stjohn dude read the comment above yours...
The thickness is 1/2 inch, router bit for the guide is an 1/8 and the bit for the braid is 3/4.
Do you have a picture of this? How can you use a 1/2" bit with a 1/8" at the same time? Thank you!
@@enigmaaudio4 You cut the slot first, then go over it with the 3/4' bit using the slot as a guide, to fly-cut the braid groove to your desired depth.
Please put the saw blade down.
