Nice shop

I am not understanding how changing from blind rivets to pop rivets removes the friction aspect

Thank you so much for this video . Those hinges are the bane of my existence and are literally breaking my door . I will be performing this surgery soon . Thank you for making it that much easier.

Did you sell a track in Taos NM?

What are the dimensions of the supports? Found a track ob craiglist and trying to restore it

Are you selling?

Are you building and Selling Tracks?

Spray glue??? Really?..... such a shame

Thanks for making this material! Very inspiring 👍🏼👍🏼

Not much in this video. Mostly black screen? Still thank you for sharing your skills. We need a lot of help!

Thanks for sharing your skills.

Why would you get relays? 🤷🏻‍♂️ And if you have a good regulated power supply, you could just turn the knob 🤷🏻‍♂️.🤦🏻‍♂️

Would have been nice to have a view of your results….

Essentially, your rememdy is to bore out the female portion of the hinge so that the male portion is "looser" inside the female portion. Is this an accurate intepretation?

Camera work gave me motion sickness but worth it for the info. Thanks!

FYI y'all - this works. Either use a good punch or a small drill bit to get your drilling started perfectly in the center of those drill spots. I would suggest opening the door to around 100 degrees or so (0 degrees = closed) before doing the drilling. The holes behind those plugs aren't exposed if you don't open the door to just the right angle. It's hard to explain, but it will certainly help if you don't do your drilling with the door all the way wide open.

The problem is, now my door is too close to the awning and could possibly swing into awning arm causing damage to that … friction hinges are the worst

do you still build commercial tracks now?

I’ve had “warranty” work done on my door with friction hinges… they worked great for about a month….Now my door is hard to close and tough to open.

As a new owner of a used RV, I am upset Lippert didn't put any identification on these products. NOTHING!!! So a typical person will attempt to fix these binding hinges. BIG MISS LIPPERT!

I hate them as well. Question tho is it all 3 hinges or just one ?

That’s excellent work, I’m jealous 🥲👌

Brilliant masterpiece 👏👌.

Just the info I was looking for.Thanks Steve I hate the friction hinges to.

I hate these hinges as well.

Hey Steve, WOW!!! You are a true craftsman!!!!!!!!! Those tracks are AWSOME!!!!!!!! It was an absolute pleasure meeting you, and Kim, please tell her we said hello! I hope our adventures will cross paths again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best Regards, Gabe & Michele

How long does this track take to build? This would be great for a summer camp

Looking to have a track very similar to this one built for my home in Tilsonberg. What is the footprint?

This track would be perfect for my space , how much per running foot? What is the lead time required?

Very interested in having a custom built 4 lane track for home use. I have a room approximately 15x16 ft with a 9 ft opening. Located in south west Ontario.

Hey Steve Thanks for the informative tour. What is your impression of the quality of Prolite trailers? We are thinking of purchasing a Lounge?

Mr. Ogilvie, I'm just writing cuz I don't know what platform you are using, or if this is even the right place to write this, but here we are in the middle of October of 2021, and I know you mentioned numerous times that you are "retired" from building tracks, but I was just wondering if you find more people having race tracks being built lately. I realize that slot cars are a very specialized activity, but a lot of companies seem to be putting a lot of slot cars on the market lately. I was just sort of wondering if you noticed that if there was any impact for track building. Thank you.

wondering how comfortable the cushions are to sleep on.

this track is a great road track to drive

Thanks Steve 👊🏁

Mr. Ogilvie I have a track made by you that says 93 superbowl and is signed by you. The track has received some damage and I could use some guidance in its repair. How may I get a hold of you. Thank you

The fact this doesn’t have more views is crazy to me. I was going to go buy all new middle hinges. Now I’m just going to take the friction out of the hinge. Your the man.

Hello Steve, What type of paint do you recommend as a topcoat for the track surface?

Great video, thanks for posting! I'm considering an LE5 swap down the road. how hard is it to reuse the stock instrument cluster? I can't tell if your cluster is stock or not.

You build a nice slot car track!

Doesn't the stop and idle in one spot make for a "slightly" wide spot in the width of the 1/8" guide. You can hear the router get quieter, so there is less wood around the bit. Just curious. :)

Who's the gray haired guy? The Steve Ogilvie that built me 4 tracks in 1994 didn't have gray hair. :D

Hi Steve, I want to build a 1/24 commercial dragstrip. Could I ask you for some pointers sometime?

Do you know any track builders in Northern California?

Nice to see that slot car racing is not completely dead. I started in 1966 at St. Lambert Raceway near Montreal, with Harold Newby as owner. Last time was at Jonn Cree’s place (he introduced me to you at the Holiday Inn on Sherbrooke street where a race week-end was organized. Ron Hershmann was also there with his protégé. All the tracks around here were sold and shipped to Scandinavia. Are you building any tracks for customers in Canada? That would be nice...

How in the world do you ship/deliver these beautiful works of art. If you don’t mind me asking, where in Canada are you located.

Steve check out the Vid on my LNF Fiero, Its the one with Flames

thank you very much for these videos about building slot car tracks.Your knowledge must be preserved and this is the best way.Regards from Spain.

Steve, who were some of your track building competitors. I know of only one, Hasse Nielson. Who were some others. Also are you responsible for the "King" track design or who was ? Who was responsible for other common designs like an "Engleman". There was a track in Santee Calif. It was a "hillclimb" variation. Did you build it.? Just curious thanks from an old time racer back in the mid 90's / early 2000's in Arizona and California.

Steve is a living legend
