Vai estar finalmente pousada numa mesa com 6x1.4m, vai ter 3 níveis e vai ser ainda mais fluída. Depois partilho. Já corri na pista actual com 6 pessoas mas não com 6 pilotos. Foi um caos...

      @pedrovskyyy 6 місяців тому

      @@jkm49us25 I really think that 1:32 scale cars look more realistic on this track, at least when compared with European actual race tracks. I think the 1:24 scale cars are too close to each other on this unique size 1:24 scale track sets and the 1:32 cars can slide more on turns without landing on the next lane. Of course the scale speed is way to far from reality. The 1:32 scale cars can easily achieve 600 Km/h scale speed (370 mph) on a long enough straight. So, based on this criteria, the 1:24 scale cars a little more realistic. Not enough for going with this scale. Besides, I created 3 categories for the cars setup also to get a more realistic scale speed without compromising the skills needed to get a good lap time.

      @@lancelot1953Boa noite Lancelot, I don't have carrera speedometers and so I don't know how they work. What I have is the Smartrace race management software that communicates with the track control unit. On this software, I can record the actual track length as well as the cars scale (1:32 in my case). When the cars pass over the control unit sensor, the software displays the lap time and computes the average scale speed. And it's very accurate. Concerning carrera speedometers, they must be accurate also if there is a way of recording the track length and the cars scale you are racing with.

      It's not really an inversion. The magnets force variation is just a function of their distance to the track. Period. What I did was to change the original position of the magnets that were placed under the metallic plate and placed them over the plate, increasing their distance to the track.

      That would be an excellent idea. It would also worked if the the control unit was programmed for not allowing a lane change when both sensors of the double crossing change lane track section were actuated. For the rest of the change lane track sections, where there is just one crossing, instead of just one sensor, there would have to be an additional one for the other car.
