The starting of something wild??
Well maybe crazy would be a better word for it.. ;)
I've had the SCX off road track sets in the past.A unique system that is some what a copy of the older Spanish Scalextric Total Traction System that came out several years ago .With 4 wheel drive vehicles utilizing suspension and long spring loaded drop arms.A track system with jumps,ramps,hills,etc.
I've been missing my SCX stuff,but thought this time we would try to make our own track. I've been inspired by Downtowndeco's Route 66 Rally track build along with others.While mine will be different in most aspects we did borrow his Track bending technique for the hills.If you haven't followed his build,your missing out on a great layout.We will be using the SCX off road cars along with some customized trucks.In doing so the layout will have steeper hills,jumps and will be just plain ruff in spots.
I hope to build this on a 4x8 table,but it may grow just a tad as layouts seem to do..
Here is some test shots to see what the trucks can handle.Yep a rug layout..
More to come I hope.. ;)
