Nice, what lane spacing? Braid or tape? Where are your controller stations?

Did you build it? That’s one hell of a nice looking track. Very impressive.

Hi I built this track about 5 years ago by myself this is the fourth track I've built the first one was in 1964 when I was 15 years old with a router I bought from Sears I used the same router to build the track in the pictures the router is 55 years old.

Nice space for a group of friends to race.
Did that start out as a four lane analog track that you converted to Scorpius? With Scorpius, can you run up to 20 cars?

Hi Yes I built this track 5 years ago as an analog track 4 lanes ,Then about a year ago I added the outside lane with the pit lanes and installed all the lane changers there is 18 lane changers and 14 lane brains I believe it can run up to 24 cars however you would need 1 scorpius controller for each car $130.00 per controller, I only have 6 wireless controllers now so I can only run 6 cars right now pretty expensive to convert to Scorpius

That is awesome, WOW!!!
Do you have any pictures of the conversion process? How do you like it now that you have had it for some time and is there anything you wish you had done different?
I have never tried digital but the dual setup is definitely interesting.

You’re on the wrong end of the state.

Great flowing track Mate, really nice work.
I'm running analog at the moment, but have always considered a Digi future expansion.
If you don't mind, can I pick your brain for advice as i'm considering Scorpius too?
Cheers
