Well the new oval has definitely been a learning experience. :lol: (along with this new puter and 8.1 :? ) It appears that the guide pins do not want to work with my analog lane change system.

The pins are able to enter the crossovers sideways and the cars end up in whatever lane they chose. :lol:, so I have had to convert the nascars to a guide flag.

I have a large bag of SCX guides so I wanted to convert the Carrera nascars to SCX with a similar sort of contact and I came up with this.


Enjoy
Randy

Could be so kind too give us a closer look at analog lane change system. YOUR Track looks like a lot of fun to run on I m hoping you can make a movie . Great conversion for a guide! why not post those pictures in the "cool tools" thread, with more details on how you did your guide! thank you so much for sharing :banana-dance: I M learning from your experience. :banana-dance:

Oh, and your track is really coming along!
Very interesting crossovers going on there. I missed it at first.
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Chuck, Thanks Greg, those crossovers make racing interesting to say the least. They do not tolerate much speed.
