Home Racing World

Guys I've been toying around with doing this for some time.I've enjoyed D132,but it takes a large footprint to have much racing,plus it can get very expensive.We still enjoy 1/32 analog racing on my Artin 1/32 track but was looking for something different.
I remember the ol Jam cars in the Tyco and Ideal slotless system.They were cool,but to me just never worked as good as they should have.Until I asked for some advice I was unsure about D143.Did it work well and could you use ghost/jam cars.Well it does and yes you can.
For now I'm just using the ol' rubber band trick to control the jam car.We plan on installing some d132 chips in a couple of cars so that one can really have the ghost car effect,with lane changing..Just had to share some of the fun with you folks.. :D
Here is a picture of my modest layout.We will expand,as I do have more track. For now this is just fun.We do have lap timing and all on the larger layout. It is fun trying to beat your best time,but nothing like running with another car or cars.The jam cars don't make a mistake,I can and do :D
I also want to thank Brian (BRS Hobbies)for his fast service and taking time to answer tons of questions.

Rusty,

The track looks great!

Carrera DIGITAL 143 = tons of fun in a relatively small space.

Best regards,
Brian

Sure does look interesting, those R1's and no fencing certainly would be a "bit" of challenge for me. :lol:

Randy

Yep Randy,I've got some more work to do for sure. Just got excited and had to show some one :D
I'll up date it as we move along with the layout.The wife got home and we ran some races.She likes it too.
Now I know it is going to be fun!

Rusty

Happy wife = Happy life! :) :text-bravo: Is this a new release set? I noticed on the set that I got for the GS at Xmas that Carrera had redesigned the fence post and spaced the fencing approx 1/4" away from the track. Sure made it a lot better to get the F1 cars around the track as the front spoiler used to get caught on the posts.

Randy

That is cool Rusty,looks like fun!

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Thanks CJENT.Man your right,these are fun!!

Rusty

Yep them's the new un's :lol:

Randy

Well we needed a couple 1/45 curves to replace two banked 1/45 curves..All we had were the 1/90 s.Got out the dremel and cut up a couple of the extra set curves.Fairy easy to do and a cheap solution too..Works like a charm..

Rusty

Well couldn't leave well enough alone..Had to expand.. :D
