Boone, I just cannot get enough of your videos! Love the new extended layout, and I look forward to seeing your progress on the build! Happy New Year to you and your family!
Thank you Dave, and Happy New Year to you
YES! So happy yer back Boone!
😂 thanks buddy, it feels good to be back
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage It shows!
I had to move and needed to give away my 6 lane 18’ x 8’ AFX track with 6 long chutes back and forth . I used the widest turns . I found 18””turns , 15”’12” respectively. Banks had to use 9”, 12”, 12” tightened up as close as possible . The bridge I used the 1/8” plywood for the 4’ transition’s . Very fast track with no trees or anything to reduce visibility and painted 3/4” ply gray . Used stock AFX cars with 2 deep cell 360 cold cranking amps car batteries in series . The cars took the 24+ volts with no problem . Didn’t need to put racing armature s in them but “ OMG “when we did just playing around ( gotta play ) . Ran 3 classes of stock armature racing classes in the stock car ,F1 , sports cars . gearing and stock magnets were allowed .
Cool
Glad to see you working on your track again . Hope you like your new place !
Thank you Jeffrey it feels good to be back. The new place is great, just need to get the house put together the rest of the way so I can claim the rest of my new garage from all the boxes 😂
Glad you have made a start to the rebuild, loved the techniques you used in this video, can’t wait for the next one 🥳👏👏👍
Thank you Andy, I’m just trying to figure out what I want to film next …lots of work to do 😂
I’m excited for you and the opportunity to see your craftsmanship in action. Nice looking layout too!
Thank you Neil

Thank you buddy, it’s good to be back
Glad your back
Thank you Henry
Looking good fella👍😎
Thank you buddy
This layout looks much more realistic. Looks like some fun nights.
It’s amazing how it changes by just opening up the space some. I hope to find out what it runs like soon 😂. I need to go through the track and do some serious cleaning. I’m unable to accomplish a full lap yet
Happy New Year!
Cool Video! Glad your back doing Videos!
Thank you Dennis, glad to be back and happy New Year to you
Congrats on yhe progress!!
Thanks bud
Great to have you back building Boone. Love the process of building the transitions. It looks like you carried the transition through to the middle shelf behind you on the wall 😅
😂 thanks Kevin
Ya know, watching your videos on how to bend and manipulate track was pretty interesting! I found the scalextric track is alot easier to manipulate than the HO scale. I've snapped a few HO pieces and ruined a piece or 2 of scalextric, but I got it down to a science lol. I think I can speak for everyone when I say, your videos are very very helpful. Especially when we run into some spots we could use advice on. Appreciate ya Boone!
Thank you Mike , I’m just glad I’m able to help some 😂
Cool, vivement la suite mister Boone 🙋✌️🍀bonne année, bonne santé
Thank you 😊
Good to see you back Boone 🤔🤔👍
Thank you Brian, it feels good to be back
Hey Boone, I'm new to Scalextric (better late than never eh) I've been so inspired by all your ideas and tips, especially the track bending and hill building tutorials, Amazing. Keep up the good work Dude.
Thank you Michael, and welcome to the wonderful world of slot cars. Glad my videos are a help. If you have any questions or have a suggestion for a future video pleas feel free to reach out and let me know. Thank you again and thank you for watching…
Happy New Year Boone. The cars look great racing on this part of Deception. And this part is bare bone with no kine meat added. Once you add some scenery, it’s going look killer. Thanks for sharing, 😎🤙
Happy New Year Mike… thanks bud, yes it should look pretty cool when completed
Thanks - this was really helpful. I'm trying to doing something similar on a much smaller scale :)
Thanks 😊, glad it helped you out
Great video
Thank you 😊
Welcome back .. looking forward to more videos
Thank you buddy
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage I have been out of work since September rebuilt my entire layout and found out I need surgery on my ankle and won’t be back to work till June … 2 months of that I won’t be walking so bring on the videos I need something to watch 😂😂
@@clnfreakone8486 sounds good… bummer about the surgery part
you should be picked up by some TV channel for a weekly boones slot car garage ..why not ? throw in some bourbon and pretty car girls and we got our selves a party man ha ha ..greets from Australia and all the best for 2023 boone cheers mate
😂 sounds like a good idea 👍
Cool
This is cool! I wish someone would do pod racing with slot cars
Thanks 😊
Happy new year boone. Say hi to the dog for me I love dogs 🐕 ❤️
Hahaha will do … and happy New Year
Looks like plenty of room for the Hobo camp in the disused tunnel:-)
😂
Awesome Boone, looks like the Uee is a success. Have you ever considered a short video of your livery of cars?
Thanks Drew , been thinking about making a video about the cars
Yeah! 😄
😂
░▒▓▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ HOWDY BOONE ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▓▒░ I too have had obstacle causing a need for an 18" elevated shelf. The wife's piano. The door will not close unless the track can be nudged up and back. It will also have to be able, to split down the middle, on floor mounted sliders. This will allow access to the entire 8'x12'. Just by unlocking two lateral track sections and sliding one half out 3'. No more cold garage. Thanks for the idea. I have 28 kids/grand, some, not so, but it gets too cold in my garden train layout. This will work, especially when I add Wayne Manor complete with Bat Cave turntable. Bat-Pole, Bat-Signal and sound. I have Arduino garden train control. I have been teaching this since 2014. I bought two Scalextric Le Mans 24 Arc Pro sets. Plus the pit lane and all the extra track etc. I went with 3 hairpins using Scalextric C8202 Track Radius - 45 Degrees Curves to make my hair pins with. This way when I run the Magic Arc after market app, I can set a lower top speed. Without squeeze sections, and the turnouts and lane changers off, the toddlers can race without track Marshals. Or I can use the clone controller from the second set? Perhaps, 12 cars can run? I think maybe a learning remote and some mirrors in the tracks overhead gantry's might be helpful, or fun! I will map the IR Codes and all Rf or DCC codes, with Arduino IDE, and post them. 🏁HAPPY NEW YEAR 🏁
Very cool…. Sounds like quite a layout!! Happy New Year, and thank you
Thanks for being her uncle Boonie
😂 okay 👍 thanks bud
Hahaha yup her lmao
@@indemwildes9426 😂
thanks but it took you 28 minutes to finally say that you actually can "bend" the track. so thanks for that.
😂
lol, just so you know, i'm not being nasty, just wanted to find out how to bend track for hills. love your stuff. I guess i thought the purpose of the vid was to show how to bend track, but is was how to make hills, so sorry for my comment.
@@user-bw7po7is3l no worries 😉… I do have a video on just bending track. It will be under the Track section in the video library on my channel. It’s for Scalextric track but if you have a different brand it will work as well.
Great stuff, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Thank you Robert, and happy New Year
