New AC2 Track
Posted: Mon Dec 18, 2017 2:58 am
Been at it for a few months now & it's time to start showing my new track layout
It's an AC2 track which give the ability to race 4 cars at same time on a 2 lanes track , although my track looks more like a 4 lanes (~80%) it is in reality only a 2 lanes track ,
the 4 lanes parts are for passing other cars which is done automatically by using the carrera go analog change lane tracks , how it works is that every time a car run into the change lane track it hit a switch that rotates at such that the next time a car crosses this piece in the same lane it will take the other exit
Since I am using AC2 & 2 cars in the same lane all you have to do if you want to stay in the same lane as the car in front of you is follow it really close "bumper to bumper" or leave a little bit of distance between you & the car in front of you which will then change lane for you & give you a change to bypass the car in front of you
Ok now let start the pics...
I got back in my old room where I used to have when I had my 3 lanes track
The table frame is 5'.9"x12'.6" using 1"x3" & some wheels on the back so I can move the table
back & forth when I need to work on it
The Room
The Table build
Using a light switch cover to use as a shimming for table legs so it will all be equal height when screwed
Have to use a piece 2"x3" as my floor is not straight because of a water drain
put some 1"x3" straightening the table legs
