- Mundon Park, my Carrera Digital race track. That Slotcarguy Travis has been trying to get people in the slot car community to share their layouts.
Here is an introduction to my track, layout, a walk around / fly by and some laps. - Авто та транспорт
Fantastic track tour video! Great job Dave!
Love the onboard camera footage, never gets old for me ledge 🤘🏻😎
This is motivating, nice compact but enough space to open it up, greetings from the US friend.
Great track and video work. 👍
G'day Dave, great work love urban design 👏 👍 👌
Hi Dave, nice layout. i like how you split it into 3 sections, thats very creative
Very nice!
Best one yet Dave!
Love it 👍
Thanks 👍
Love the layout. I'm a US HO fellow, but, I still enjoy some 1/32 and 1/24 fun from over seas
Enjoy your content .. im about to take plunge and have enjoyed your vids.
Love it 👍
The start of what is turning out to be a long running series as I build the scenery round the layout :)
Great video Dave, love the layout and really clever editing, I look to you for inspiration!!!!
That's a bit of a worry as I was hoping your urban theme would be mine HAHA
@@slotr 😂😂
This has serious Diakoku rest area vibes. You should get a few Skylines and supras for the car park!
I had "Grubby version of Tokyo Drift" in my head so we're thinking along the same lines :)
How many meters are your track and what voltage are you running on.
Carrera Digital standard voltage 14.6V track is around 18.5 metres
Hi
Dave, I think i asked you elsewhere on your channel. How high is level 2 of your track from the bottom of ground level (makes sense). Im sure you mentioned the amount of elevation needed over straights. Hope you dont mind, reminding me!
It's the height of 1 standard carrera 132 box from ground level up to the level of the hairpins, so 100mm ish ... I have a humpback section (which I no longer use) and that elevation change is the same so I think 1 box can be considered to be 1 standard carrera elevation change. The top S bend is another 40mm higher as it improves driver visibility when heading into the s bend underneath :)
@@slotr thx fella, did you mention something about how much elevation over x amount needed?
@@kool-k-kel they say you can do it over two standard straights but I use three
cheers fella. appreciated@@slotr
What made you go with Carrera?
it is in a shed so the non rusting stainless rails was a big factor, and I wanted to start with a basic set and then go digital and if you want to run different brands of cars it's a lot easier to convert a scalextric car to carrera and indeed anything else to carrera, than it is to convert pretty much everything that isn't scalextric or pioneer to scalextric digital.
This is why I’m gonna try and stay away from using borders. They’re definitely necessary if you want to race 1/24 scale.( especially without magnets) That being said, they take up so much real estate on a track system that is already on the larger size compared to say scalextric. I’m trying to have as much track as possible in a small footprint. Striving for around 5x10 max. For me that will involve some nested R1 and R2 turns and some overlapping / stacked runs of track. Boarders just aren’t an option.
Non mag even at 1/32 really needs borders, even with magnets I was leaving a lot of paint on the candy stripes though. It's personal preference, I ended up moving away from the idea of getting the longest lap I could fit in and instead went for a shorter more flowing lap that I can get into a tempo with and really work on my braking point accuracy and enjoy feathering the throttle on a drift.
@@slotr Just getting into the hobby. Who knows, my preference may change. Don’t mind “painting” the guard rails right now and so far I’ve run one of my cars without the rear mags and it drifts fine on the inside of corners. Started with an analog set for the price and the ability to work out my learning curve on some less expensive analog cars😉
Going to expand to digital by buying a digital set. Cheaper than doing it piecemeal. Gonna get a set with wireless controllers and then maybe pick up an aftermarket trigger grip controller for myself. Eventually I’ll chip my analog cars and pickup a fourth controller.
@@sneifert1968 I had an analogue DTM set then bought the 3 car spirit of speed digital set with wired controllers, I don't really need wireless ones with my setup, everyone stands along one edge and it's only 4.2m end to end
Dave ive been enjoying your videos. I have a smaller area to build my track. Could you please email me a track plan of your layout ? I would really appreciate it. Rob

Perfect Thank You!
Don't think under bridges works for slots
Ideally not but in a compact space there has to be compromises
