are you insane? I have never seen something that great done by a man himself! (Slot cars tracks building)! You are limitless, it looks amazing!!! Thank you for sharing!
Hi Rob. Awesome, magnificent, outstanding ...., I could go on for quite more words to discribe your job. 🙂 Even I could learn from it, watching you doing that. I got an idea from this clip, but sadly I am missing a Band-Saw and a Turning-Machine. But I figured already out, to get it done without those Machines 😉 Ride on Rob, keep the good contents comming... 🙂 Sadly I could give you only one Like and not a few hundreds! 😎😎😎
Rob what a fantastic job you have done, my favourite video of yours so far. First class in every particular Sir. Can’t wait to see what you’ll have in store for us next time.
This is the best video I've seen this year so far by a country mile! Really good session Rob, I've learnt so much from this - brilliant! Thank you for sharing this, very useful indeed 🙂
Very professional finish. Your attention to detail was impressive You deserver to be proud of your workmanship. Not to mention just what a great educational video this is. Thank you.
Wonderful track Rob . I rekon you will inspire many people to actually give a wood routed track build a go .Top quality work, and to be honest, im one of those who wouldn't have the confidence to actually try it at the moment 🤭 I can't even get a square table using all the recommended ways of measuring ,drives me crazy mate . Thanks for sharing your beautiful track build 🤗
You know what I think I am going to get on with a HO routed track over summer. Might see if I can borrow a router. I like how you used the track as a template, really handy tip. This build was epic, loved it from start to finish! ❤
Thank you 🙂 Using the track came from the original idea of using Scalextric track, and as you say, actually using pre-made track does make things a little simpler for laying out a track plan. Good luck 🙂
One added piece of advice: the bit you'll use on HO track slots is a 1/16" (1/32 and 1/24 tracks are 1/8") single or double flute - preferably double. You'll pay a little more for the double flute, but it'll last longer and give you a cleaner cut. Best of luck!
Stumbled across your video and I have to say it was fascinating! I loved your video the pace and music, it all worked! I would love to have you build a track for me! lol I will be watching from now on!
What a great video! Totally agree that anyone can do it, I get that myself. The difficult part is the designing and problem-solving whilst making the prototype. Ones the video is out there is just copy paste. Thanks for sharing 👍
Love this, been on my mind to do for a while and you definitely inspired me to have a go. Only thing is, do you have any more guidance on the electrical connections part?
@@lewisfroud81 The track rails are simply joined together in any way you want. I connected mine on this build with a bus bar and then put + through once latch and - through the other, see 19:30 . The wiring can be found here slotcarcorner.com/pages/track-wiring
Thanks, we call it Bum Bead in cabinet making, but it's basically just 'moulding' you can buy it in 8 foot lengths from most DIY shops. I think the one I used on RV was 40mm high. The one I used on CV was only 30mm and I had to lift it up with a 5mm packer and it's still a little low. So aim for 4 ribs at 40mm high 🙂
WOW...when I saw test track I never imagined anything like this, I have to commend you on the attention to details, the tire barriers etc. .
Thank you, I'm glad you like it. It has now been used in two club comps as well, so not just a test tack now I guess 😀

Wow, thank you 😀
"If you think you can't, you're right." Great video Rob. Love the little track.
Your table top test track is mostly what motivated me to make this Dave 🥰
@@SwiftSlots That’s awesome Rob! Funny thing is, now you’re motivating me to build a fold up track like yours!
@@shotgundaveslotcars LOL, I'll FB you a pic of it folded and clipped together in the morning.
Rob you are simply the best UA-cam Slot Car Guy... Love your content and you're so talented! Cheers from South Carolina!
Oh no, there are plenty of guys out there far better than me, but thank you anyway 🙂
Great attention to detail….superb!
Thank you Rob for a excellently thought out and informative video. this will help me out a lot when I have a go at building one this weekend .
Great 🙂
Fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome 🙂

Good afternoon Rob.
Hello 🙂
What a great video!
Totally agree that anyone can do it, I get that myself.
The difficult part is the designing and problem-solving whilst making the prototype. Ones the video is out there is just copy paste.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Yep, just follow my lead 😀
Absolutely beautiful unbelievable
Thank you.
Tight!👍👍 no digital garb.
Digital 🤢🤮
Nice trick with the tape!
Thank you 🙂
Fantastic!!!!
Thank you.
Brilliant 👍
Thank you 🙂
That was awesome.
Thank you 🥰
Love this, been on my mind to do for a while and you definitely inspired me to have a go. Only thing is, do you have any more guidance on the electrical connections part?
What is it you'd like to know, the wires to the track or control panel ?
@@SwiftSlots both I guess

Wow! Absolutely ama,ing work! Love the creative work!
Did you also do the background on the side panels? If yourchased that where can I get that?
Glad you liked it 🙂 modelmasters.co.uk/collections/art-printers-id-backscenes get the sticky backed ones.
@@SwiftSlots Thank you! Really like your videos!
Wow, thats absolutely awesome, you’re very talented, great work, just curious, how many hours too get one done, thanks, oh , and new subscriber🙌👍😁
Thank you 🙂 This track took me 3 weeks between all the wood work, painting and decoration.
Undercoat seems to be quite grippy as an alternative to satin.
Great video Rob, what did you use for the crash barriers?
