Try this for ideas. X switch with 2 curves at one end only pulling a single lane off. Use to create islands with 2 more switches . Max cops and robbers chase and outside loop for racing all loops.

Good evening. Getting into slot cars. Just saw this video. Having a hard time making out the parts list for Multi Level #1. It's a great layout for my space if you could clear up the parts list for me. Great video.
@zoskinso34203 ай бұрын
Hi Mark, thanks for the nice comment. The parts list is: standard straight 26 (lane changes = 2 straights) 1/3 straight 2 1/4 straight 2 Power terminal 1 1/30 curve 8 (could be 6 - 1/30 & 19 - 1/60 but the list is what I had) 1/60 curve 18 2/30 (banked or not) 6 4/15 curve 2 (I got these at CincySlots, they sell single track pc. A pkg is 12 pc) Have fun. 👍

I have a question how did you move all the cars at once because I didn’t see any remotes for the cars
@zoskinso34205 ай бұрын
Digital slotcar tracks allow you to set up cars to run by themselves, ghost cars they are usually called. They can change lanes randomly or you can cover the sensor and make them stay in one lane. They only go the speed you set for them. Two cars were being controlled by wireless controllers, the rest were "ghost cars" in the video. Analog slotcar tracks allow only one car per lane - 2 cars on a 2 lane track with each bound to their lane. With Carrera digital you can race up to 6 controlled cars and 2 ghost cars at once on a 2 lane track with cars free to change lanes for passing or blocking. Thanks for watching.

@zoskinso3420 - Thank you for doing this. I bought a D132 set during the Covid lockdowns but never had the room to keep a track up any longer than a few days. I now have the room for a permanent setup with limits but can build any of the plans you showed and I am stoked! Thank you su much, Im sure I am not the only grateful viewer. You replied to a comment indicating the track inventory. Did you build all those layouts with that inventory or was it for one plan in particular? Thanks in advance. - Nick
@zoskinso34208 ай бұрын
Hi Nick. I think that track inventory will build all of these layouts. Adding 2 more 1/4 straights (4 total) should build the layouts thru #18. CarreraSlots.com, LEB Hobbies and Cincyslots.com are a good source for parts. CincySlots sells single pieces, handy because I didn't want to pay for 12 - 4/15 pc when I wanted 4. Thanks for the nice comment. Good luck with the layout and Have Fun.

Thanks anton, I think basic Carrera track is the same for digital and evolution, I don't know of cheaper compatable track parts. Usually cheaper to find expansion packs that fit your needs and add single pieces as needed to complete layout. I designed several layouts and made an inventory of what I needed and shopped for deals when I started.

Hi Suzukii, I make all my track supports out of MDF (fiberboard), scrap wood and styrofoam. You can see them in my video 'Carrera track shoulders, mods, jumpers' starting @ 2:01. There are several track design apps available. I use a free app I downloaded, Carrera Track Planner, it is not great but does work for my needs. Also visit the SmartRace website, at the bottom of the page is a link to many track design ideas. SmartRace is a race and timing management app (about $12.00) I highly recommend for Carrera.

Hi Andrew, Carrera guardrails snap into either the track or track shoulders. Carrera borders, while necessary for the best racing experience, are expensive so all of mine are homemade. I make them from MDF and build guardrails that I screw or glue to the shoulder pieces. I make wire 'hooks' to secure them to the track.
