What do you use to hold your track up?

Well I *was* gonna root for the Speed Bump...

I like this set up. I was rearranging my living room so i didnt get to really pick a car, but i probably would have gone with the Pagani. The Delorean did ok in one of my races, but was surprised to see it win here. It's a cool car though

It's actually very cool to see the cars in a case get raised out of the box! I like this format a lot! I picked the West Coast Flyer because it's proven to be fast in my house...

Do you know that the « big O » means big orgasm? I don’t know, just saying, it’s kinda weird.

This is fun! Thanks Nick!!

Ah crap...I picked Speed Bump and it just proved as to why it looks like that 😂

Even with nothing on the line, a compelling show regardless!! Lots of advancement by sheer luck even past the first round of racing kept the action fresh and unpredictable Amazing how shallow the angle is in these Spool Heads open turns and the cars travel as if lateral acceleration is just an opinion of physics! While the hobby is still dominated by the higher angle of attack in Crash Racers turns, along with the needed speed to carry through them, this design appears to lend so much flexibility available to different pacing by track builders. I can't ignore how *hilarious* it is to see the tiny wheel based cars weeble and wobble their way through the laned portions!! I see a survival series in the future featuring those tiny racers on this track! 😂 TTC, thanks for being a big part of the racing on this Friday 💯😎🏁

Where do you get your cases from?

Great job! Keep it up! I really enjoy your videos!

Love it!

thanks for the update,

Thanks for posting this, always curious of behind the scenes. PS awesome Finals 3 days ago. :)

This awesome, where do you order track like that?

Cool! Thanks for the update. Looks like I'll have even less excuses when my car crashes and burns. The lighting is fantastic. It's gonna look great during the races.

Love the updates bro, thanks. Definitely an awesome, unique track that can only get better with the efforts you're putting in. Great job 💯🇬🇧👌🤜🤛

That was so nice of you to share all this with us. You and Russel are doing a great job. That track is already really special, I can't imagine how good it will get with all the new pieces!

Looking good Nick! The new turn you showed in the video with the cars reminds me of a Darlington style race track. Big undertaking for sure. 👍

Great update. And really good to see behind the scenes. This really does have the potential to be the best diecast track of them all. Keep up the amazing work.

Awesome channel, Great finals!

I want to know how you film continuous races without passing out from getting dizzy?! Are you an ex ballet dancer or figure skater...or something? 😉

❤❤❤

Watching the progression of this track is inspiring.

Numbskull in race 5 was the bomb! That double-wide blocking strategy paid off as he released just in time to make the pass!

The devil is in the details... Awesomeness on another level! Looking forward to the next series🏁🏁🏁

Tell Russ to hurry up!

Glad ya working it out. Track tuning is an attempt to control chaos so any efforts to get to a better place deserves all of the 🙌🏽! I think most Diecast Racers have learned to be patient with tournaments so don’t worry about us! Fulfill your vision and find the potential of the track. In the end you’re releasing rounds that you’re proud of and show builders exactly what they brought to the table. 😅🤘🏼

Hey Nick, great stuff! I really appreciate seeing behind the scenes!! Well done! Yep I am with you for the continual testing, tuning, rechecking the track to get it where you want it to be! But, I can also change hats (perspective) and look at it from a builders racers view, in what do I need to do well on this track?! First I will go back in time to a Diecast Race mate DJ Tripple J from CA. He had a really long fast sizzler track. What really upset him, was cars spinning round continually as we have seen on his track, early 3D Fat Track and early Hot Car Track. He put his mind to it, tested, tested, and came up with a comppund tyre, (sort of like whats on a sizzler car) that fits on the outside of the rear tyre, either one side or both. He called it Blackfire tyres. He sent a number of us diecast racers tyres to test, race with. I spent time using different methods of attaching to the rear wheels, used 1 tyre, two tyres, and also did comparitive drag speed tests. I also developed my own tyre/compund. But fat track race tracks have largely disappeared for main stream racing and as you point out the Adventure Force open 2 lane track largely controls the cars. Did the tyres work? Hell yes, the cars went around the corners in a contralled manner, and 95% prevented the cars spinning around backward. Some would say, oh the cars are slower? In short, in absolute straight line speed yes, BUT, as the car with tyres handled the corner better, speed coming out of the corner, and more importantlly, control, is superior. But yes, when "occasionally a super fast well built car with no tyres gets it right, they may record a faster time. An event called Vantastic on Hot Car Track is one location that in racing, highlights how competitive cars with tyres on Fat Track (or indeed other tracks that have slip issues). Quite a few teams had tyres on, and the event was won by a car with tyres on. And the cars looked very controlled compared to most of the normal wheeled cars. The other location that would higlight the handling characteristics wiuld be on Power Drive Racing DJ Tripple J channel, with his outdoor backyard Fat Track. Rustic, yes, but demonstrates the difference a tyre can make. Back to your track, if I were to run there at the moment, my "guess" would be to build a car with 1 tyre fitted to the left hand rear. But it is a little hard to judge how fast your track is from here, which could affect trye performance. (ie slow track) But then it comes all down to testing, developing, the subject of your video. Thanks for the update, cheers, Marc D P.S> If you needed any links etc contact me.

Appreciate behind the scenes, you're doing great Nick! Keep it up, looking forward to some great racing❤

Awesome update and the track are coming along and looking sweet. Mahalo Nick.

Amazing work, Nick!

So I have been watching a lot. I figured out how you make it look like a continuous track. Brilliant. So If I send ya my SST cards, I need to send three? or two? Thanks for the update.

Lookin good 😎👍

I wish I could experiment with tracks like these with rubber tires, I only have two sets and they act like regular wheels but the weight has a factor in it when it comes to turning the track, Noted that they're probably slower than the usual ones.

Tuning this track is a HUGE undertaking! It is hard for some to believe, but control on this track is more complex than Shavano Mountain Raceway. What if the turn entry was a higher banked top third, but the turn exit isn't as steep? Yes, that makes each 180 asymmetric, but it might address both issues you talked about. Would it be possible to create a 3d printable strip of 8 sitting people connected by the strip? This way, you could populate your stands on the side more cost efficiently. The strip could be glued or screwed into the stands. Details of each person aren't necessary since the camera zooms by each time. Just a thought.

Appreciate the dedication to getting it right. I’d like it back eventually but no rush, feel free to use my STH to test the track.

Wow, appreciate the commitment. Can’t imagine the time and money you’ve put into it!

I'm happy there's an update but I'm still waiting for the nascar tournament

Thanks for the update. Your time and effort shows in your top notch productions and it is appreciated muchly 🏁

Looks amazing 🤩. Looking 👀 forward to seeing your racing experiences on a fully dialed in course.

🥳🥳_*9000 SUBS!!*_ 🥳🥳 Great update, Nick! I truly hope a solution to car grip without sacrificing speed is efforted at last. From my own perspective, I was/am happy to chalk up whatever issues there were to you as a host alongside your racers figuring out _The Big O._ The idea of using Sizzler/Fat Track gives me pause as it's been my observations that no matter if the sections are straight or turns, cars get super duper slippy on that surface. We possibly could be thinking of differing product. Regardless, unshakable faith in you, guy!

Just keeps getting better!

I think it's a great idea to have the track dialed in before having a big tournament. Even though everyone has been patiently waiting..😊 it'll make for a better result in the end.

Keep up the good work! Can’t wait for generations to start!

Looks great! Love your attention to detail. The only thing I see missing is an announcers booth.

I love when you are inside of the Big O. Or should I say "Oh". Your track is just pure badass awesome. I am running a 92' track, I am in awe of the amount of work, time, and resources you have put into your track. Thank you. 🍸🤩😎🍸

Awesome video bro. No messing about, straight to racing which is what we're all here for. Well done to Numbskull (The G.O.A.T) too. Awesome production on an amazing channel, thanks 💯👍💪🤜🤛👌🇬🇧🤪
