Built My Own Track For My Cars!

OK, I am sick of waiting for track events and I bit the bullet and built my own track to race my Porsches and my AMG. Here are some shots. It's not 100% complete yet but you get the idea.









Sorry for the poor photo stitching quality but the track is pretty big.

For those who don't know, the is a Scalextric digital set where you can run up to 8 cars at a time and change lanes. Way cool!

You know when I first read the post I thought maybe you had built your own track for the full size car! You are crazy enough to do it!

ps: Why are you selling your tt?

Well, somewhere around $1,500 (I hate to total stuff like this ). I am now going to mount it on extruded foam and make it look a little better.

That's so cool! I have been toying with the idea of putting one of these things together as well. Do the cars stay on the track or do they fly off ...
