I use a micro scalextric car to keep the track clean, they have steel brushes for contacts and scrub the track as the go 👍

Is that an alkaline 9V battery? If so, when the voltage from the track is higher than the battery, you will be charging the battery as you mentioned. Charging an alkaline battery can result in leaks or even explosions. If you use a rechargeable 9V battery, that may be safer, but you still have the possibility of over charging without a BMS chip.

So oddly satisfying to see a little truck come out and drive around cleaning the course before the cars come to race. It's just like in real life, in a way.

I have an older Artin slot car track that uses brushed cars. It's assembled and the rails are quite dirty/rusty. Can I clean them using this method?

Possibly. It would be worth a try.

Hey Kevin, nice, practical way to clean the track. How many laps does it take to get the track clean like yours?

@shawsgarage3635 4 жыл бұрын

Brickchamp it depends on how dirty and oxidized the track is to begin with. I would say 10 laps or less usually

Kevin, I just found this vid and because of it I've just subbed. Awesome tip! I've got several complete in the box tracks including the one with this and the rest of the trucks. I don't yet have a place to set everything I have up but until and when I do I'll be referencing your channel sir. I'll be looking through your archive and watching what vids you have on this subject! Thanx,....Fred

Cool idea!! Too bad you can’t have the truck tow a nickel on a weight to clean it even more. Or maybe the weight will slow it down. Just a thought.

I'll definitely need to do this when I finally dig out my Tyco track that has been sitting in a box for at least 10 years. Sure beats using the nickel trick, the pencil eraser method, and especially the system of running a car until it stops, then pushing it across the dead spots about 100 times.

I wish we could hear more clean tones, to hear how it really sounds. Those same old SRV licks are tiring, and nobody comes close to Stevie - they are always inferior. Beautiful amp though. Mahogany is an excellent tone wood, and beautiful too, so a nice choice for the cabs. Sweet looking, but wish we could hear more music through it...

That's a genius idea! I always thought conventional track cleaners were a failed idea if the track was dirty, especially for those of us who only play with their slot cars on the floor once in a blue moon. Battery backup makes perfect sense, or just straight battery power.

@WR3ND 6 жыл бұрын

Internal resistance on alkaline batteries is pretty high. I'm sure you're probably fine at 9V or maybe even 10V. You could even run the track a little lower than 9V and just let the battery find equilibrium. Either way, alkaline batteries are notorious for leaking and ruining stuff. Not sure if they make a 9V NiMH off hand, but that might be a better option.

THATS COOL I LIKE YOUR IDEA I USE THE SAME TYPE OF METHED HERE . ALSO YOU CAN USE 1000 GRIT SAND PAPER IN THE GRILL AREA ,,STICK IT BETWEEN THE GRILL AND PICKUP SHOE AREA AND MAKE IT ROUNDED OUT FRONT UNDER THE GRILL AND IT WILL PUSH THE SAND PAPER IN FRONT OF IT AND SAND THE TRACK NO PROBLEMS , I LIKE YOUR VIDEOS MAN . IF YOU HAVE A MIN OR TWO CHECK OUT MY HO SLOT CAR VIDEOS OF THE COOLEST CARS AND FASEST TRACK IN THE SOUTH FL.

Very ingenious. You could even glue wet and dry sandpaper to your pick ups and run the vehicle purely on the battery. Your idea sure would save a lot of set up time.
