Love where this is going man! Glad to be a part of the ground floor of something huge. ATTA BABE!
Thanks Darrell! I'm glad you know where this is going because I'm just winging it!
Aren’t we all though at this point? Hard to put a ceiling on something that’s never been done before. It’s gonna be fun!
Thank you for doing this. Your are doing a great service to all the people in the community. The next version will be sick!
Thank you Jeff!
Looking like your getting in a groove ;) get it! Excited to see what the next version looks like
Ahh... I see what you did there. Nice :)
Wow. That looks nothing short of awesome. Thank you for the time and work you are putting into developing this track. It looks very good. Cheers. 🤩😎🍸
Thanks some being patient with it! Going to six grooves MIGHT be the final version of this turn (fingers crossed)!
man i love these updates. So interesting.
Thanks Joe!
Man i sure love this RandD!! 🙌🏻
Thanks Lucas!
Thanks for the update and your continual efforts into this endeavor! Cheers to you! 🍻👊😎
Thanks Daddy G!
YES! Love where this is going. Currently running the CRs turns myself, but because of my setup if a car with good speed finds/starts on the inside lane it wins like 95% of the time coming out of them - I love the randomness MOT track adds! Although...not a fan of the loss of control/flipping..really looking forward to the next video!
Thanks for the comment and encouragement! I’m going to try to flatten out the middle of the exit a little more. That should help prevent the flipping.
Very, very informative... love watching and learning what you learn.
Right back at you Mark!
Cheers, you are continuing to do great work in developing!
So many things to take in, and changing one aspect can affect others! Tough job!
Cheers, enjoyed, Marc D
Thanks for the support Marc!
Amazing. Strong work.
Thanks Grumpy cloud!
Fantastic!!
Great work on the track.
Thank you!
Looks great. The problem you say you are having with yout mod track is the same problem I have with a CR set I use. If you was to go watch my videos almost all cars that start high on a line go down to the bottom line. It could be my set up I don't know. But it does happen regularly. So for me anyway what your saying is no problem. If you can improve on that it would also be a big upgrade using your track over a CR. Awesome job either way. Keep up the great work and great videos. Maybe one day I will be able to use your stuff on my track. Happy racing
From my experience I see that a lot when cars are traveling at lower speeds. The bank is so steep on CR that anything below a certain speed will definitely cause cars to slide down. In this video, I'm showing cars going over 300 1:64mph, which is pretty fast. It would be great to do a test at 200 or even 150 1:64mph and compare. There's a bit of an argument to removing the grooves at the beginning so cars can find a natural line to take, yet another fun test! Thanks for your comment!
@@spoolheads I wish I was smart enough to figure out speed on my track lol. Both stock and mod Cars do the same the same things. But I get what your saying makes a lot of sense.
@@ricksdiecastracing I'm going to make a video about how to measure eventually. For now, you need a three of pieces of information and a camera.
- Marked distance travelled in centimeters because measuring in inches is the worst. CR track is 50 cm long so that makes measuring easy if you are using CR track.
- Frame rate of camera
- # of frames it takes to travel from the start of the measurement area to the end. I just set in an out points in my editing program, or I even count them frame by frame if I'm really lazy.
Then use this equation.
(Distance in cm) * (Frames per second of the camera) / (# of frames it took to travel to the end line) * 1.44
This will give you the realtime 1:64mph. Then you can times that number by whatever you slow the races down by to see how fast they travel in your videos.
For example, in this video, I filmed Mr. Darq at 120fps and he travelled 100cm in 48 frames.
100 * 120 / 48 * 1.44 = 360 1:64mph realtime
I slowed it down by 50% so that in playback, he's going 180 1:64mph, which feels about right.
Good stuff!
Thanks Baines
Groovy😍
Very groovy. I just fixed the groove spacing and now it is really groovy!
Very cool.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
Thumbs up bro,very nice race track bro,unfortunately we dont have this in our country indonesia bro,otherwise i would buy it bro
Thanks for your support Zelda!
What is the starter thing called and where can I get them? I’m talking about the thing that drops the cars where can I get it.
I tend to call it a start gate. I’ve made an electric start gate now with a wireless controller. I’ll show it in my next video. Email me at sales@spoolheads.com on price and order details. Thanks for watching!
What is ‘best’ or ideal speed in your testing for the open lane spool heads turn?
"Artifacts" really show up more at high speeds. In realtime, it's 300-400 1:64mph. To calculate it:
(Distance in cm)*(Frames per second of the camera)/(# of frames it took to travel to the end line)*1.44 for mph/hour
(Distance in cm)*(Frames per second of the camera)/(# of frames it took to travel to the end line)*2.32 for km/hour - I think this is right but I only understand miles/hour :)
@@spoolheads 🤔 yer…I see
I feel so much like Homer Simpson right at this moment 😂😂
Lol! I need to just make a chart :)
Very cool but I was wondering are you setting your turn level. Just curious because when I was building my turns the offset turn always followed better then my level turns
Good point. Yeah, I didn’t show it very well but the entrance is higher than the exit by a few inches. Both turns can be bent when installing to allow that. Thanks for your comment. I love your channel. Keep up the track building and racing!
@@spoolheads I know you've been talking about the humps In the track. How about lining the humps up on the run end and remove them from the turns. Also do you need any nineteen nineties era test cars.
@@DJyyz I have a version of the turn that doesn't have grooves. It works great for short angle turns. For longer angled turns, not having grooves causes the cars to have a strange up and down motion through the turn which seems a little unnatural to me. For right now, I've got all the cars I can handle ;) They are everywhere and I can't keep them organized.
10/4 It was just a ideal, And for the cars I would just like to donate them to you and your boys for your efforts. IT'S all good I understand completely on having too many cars. Keep up the good work. Dave
how can i buy your track pieces?
