Cool work , but it might be worth remind people that Scalextric track doesn’t break when it gets taken apart connections become loose(Not all the time) and just need the owners to be aware of this and maintenance is required to keep it in top condition just like any equipment we own in life
Check out about truing the tyres... have the cars spin the back tyres on some ultra fine sand paper held to the track, especially on older cars! The difference this can make is insane!!!
@@ShadowFoam Smoke coming from the motors is usually a good sign you've done it for too long in 1 go. It's best to hold the car with the magnet away from the rails. A good way to test the tyres is to put your hand in front of the car, if the wheels spin freely, the tyres are bad. Once you've done it, the grip and magnet downforce will actually stop the motor. They'll be super tacky now so any dust is picker straight up... easy to have the tyres blast this off holding the car on the track.
Can't improve the great job you've done, but can I suggest you try some design software? Ultimate Racer (no affiliation btw) works quite well. It's not free and is a bit quirky, but you can try different designs easily.
I understand how you cut the foam concerning the OUTLINE of the track, but how did you cut an even depth out of it, in order to sink the track into the foam?
I want a Barbie board to mount a barbie house with swimming pool filled with water, and drive in remote control barbie car with driveway and lighting and model picket fence, and epoxy fibreglass a beach and waterproof swimming area for the dolls.. That's what I need now for my niece ASAP can you help me? I have the cash here..

How cool is that 😁
Got scalextric of your own?
@@ShadowFoam Yep. Currently stored away but planning on setting it up again soon. Gathering ideas for setup hence watching your videos.
I'm retired now, this looks like a wonderful project, any idea what it cost and what tools were required?
Nice build ❤
Thanks 😁

Thanks for the tip Trevor, much appreciated!
Nice
epic
Shoot- how the heck did I miss this?!?!
Like our build do you?
I want a piece of green so it looks like grass to cover 10ft x 4ft one piece, thinnest you can do, can it be done? Top job on the video mate..
Our thinnest is 30mm
Wow now that's sick!
Well done that's an epic job you've done.
How do I win it?.. ;)
Have a good weekend and enjoy that bank holiday.
Come see us at Makers Central Dave 😂
@@ShadowFoam careful what you wish for........
I understand how you cut the foam concerning the OUTLINE of the track, but how did you cut an even depth out of it, in order to sink the track into the foam?
I peeled an even level out of the foam by using the levels as a marker - GREAT QUESTION!
Thanks a bunch, I understand now. This foam looks like a terrific product.@@ShadowFoam
Completed build? There is no such thing as a completed build lol, looks great
Got me there Damian 🤪
Sem dúvidas . O slot machine. É do melhor.
Para descansar. Do stress.
De um dia a levar.com tudo que não está mós preparados . no trabalho.,?
Não estou particularmente interessado em jogos de azar, você gosta de Scalextric?
Needs more foam.
Agreed!
