So...We're Building A Track...

Thanks guys...

CJ we will probably hit up some vids soon, but we might wait till the track is actually all painted and bordered. Or else if we just start racing right away we might not ever get to building and completing.

Maxxa, that hairpin is terribly tight. For a miniZ it is in and out no problem, just drop the nozzle a touch and pull a sweet S.

For the Gen1 Xmod you gotta go into it very wide, and cut across the red and white bumper. Once you pass the bumper shoot the handle right and it should make it. I usually do. I think with a steering fix though the Xmod will handle it no problem. The only thing I don't like is that the miniZ hs the "Gitty up and Go" perfect for the turns and medium straights. While the Gen1 wants to roar, but it needs a bit more space. That is why I keep askin peeps for some torque advice for my xmod. I need to make it swift ahah..

SWG - Because this is our first time building a track ever. It looks like we are gonna need help.

Basically we want to know how to build some houses, and mountains. We figured out what was good for the rocks and stuff.

One other thing is we are going to build a dealership on the far side just after the staight, not where the rocks and grass are, opposite side. I just need to know what materials are best because if we keep spending money on shit we don't need than obviously it will be a huge waste.

Thanks for the tips and comments!

I'd love to bring my WRX there, I know it would handle it. Alas, no money

Can't wait to see when it's done

You help design and make the track so its your track too, .lol..
I bought some trees and looking into some G scale houses a bit pricey, but i 'm sure we could figure something. The turf is on order so that should close things off. Practice runs with the Z is delaying the construction, and oh ya the video of the your Xmod i have maybe i'll post it here.

Stock 350z Xmod takes the stage on the track! Check it...

Let it buffer...

nice vid, sounds like you got some range issues down there. Maybe it's the battery in your Tx going dead

. You need to do some steering mods to that 350Z, I heard that it was stock. Funny enough, stock seems decently fast for that track. Maybe get some grippier tyres for upfront so the back will kick out some for that VERY

tight hairpin. My WRX can still take it

.

Great vid man, get some barriers up. You're all over the place lol

Ya nailed it! It isn't usually that bad...

I will do some steering mods, just tryna find the guts to do some damage.

Once we get the turf on we wont need barriers, We want the track designed like real life. Meaning if a car were to travel along the turf or carpeting it would slow the vehicle down and you would have to swerve back onto the road.

The sweet thing about the track is the parts painted a brownish green are a little slippery, so it acts like sand when a car hits it, the wheels spin and it is difficult to grip. Borders I think make races too simple.

It is fun to have the "driver" affect put into play when you race.

that thing is HUGE. i agree with you on the barriers/track thing. that's the way to go.
btw, sigarette packs are a great build material. good for walls, barriers as they absorb impact force.

you can get imprint of your car in one of them

Great video man thanks for sharing oh and I like the bubble wrap around the poles that classic man!

I am really looking forward to seeing this track with the boarders and terrain!

Looks like tomorrow will be a busy day...

Here are the plans

- hit up home depot for some turf/carpet stuff
- lay out turf
- paint the red bumper lines
- plaster the bumper lines for some real track affect
- finish the rest of the borders
- add more lights
- get back paint
- paint garage

- **(important advice or suggestions needed)***-

WHERE THE HELL CAN I A GET LAP COUNTER/TIMING SYSTEM?

If we don't pick up the turf, more than 75 percent of that list won't be completed, we will just race the rest of the day...That's all we did last night.

Once the Mr-02 started kicking the Xmods ass, my uncle let the Xmod scoot ahead a half a lap and he tried to catch me. Then it got fun ahha!
