Nice building at home theese things, the rail how will be made? I thought could be fun for 1/43 rallying making a custom adapter for Carrera Go!!!-Policar. Here in Italy are available a lot of Polistil tracks to restore and revive with Policar power supply, and when surface is not recoverable a dirt track conversion becomes the easiest choices

Hi Mattia, I was able to use copper tape to transfer current across instead of an actual rail. But braid can also be an option if changing the design slightly

Typo: the 3D printed track is 153 mm wide and not 153 cm wide 😅

This was one of the counters I was trying to get my hands on for Crow Valley before the DS. I'm glad you now have it out to buy and only £60!! I want one and I know one other guy that will also want one! I have two track builds on the go right now, so will be placing my order very soon !!

Hi, would there be an option to have a separate button for the functions rather than having to press the rotary switch? I'm not a fan of pressing rotary switches as sometimes you can change values rather than pushing the button down. I have press rotaries on some other items I have and they never quite work every time, a simple button works out best for me as you don't have to be so careful.

@@SwiftSlots Hi, I could potentially design a 3 buttons (or 1 button plus rotary encoder) version for you. Please, email me via website and we can discuss further details. Thanks 🙂

1. Can the sensitivity be adjusted to detect different distances from the box 2. Can you set a number of laps then record the time to complete the laps 3. Can you set a time then record the number of laps in that time 4. The box needs a beeper for each passing of the car ...when the finished product is ready I'd like one please.

I am currently mid way through 3d printing a single lane track for my back entertainment room and this would be perfect, are you going to list them for sale or ?

Hi, I will start listing them as soon as I finish designing casing and finish implementing functions. Please, feel free to drop me an email via web-store: johnnysworkshop.co.uk . It will be easier this way in order to build you a copy to fit your track needs. cheers

Hello, Please can you share information on how this works? I am trying my very best to not use a lightbridge and this may just solve my problem.

Hi Wayne, It's still in development. It's a proximity sensor calibrated to capture cars passing over it. I will make a lap counter available at some point.

@@johnny_s_workshop Thank you for the reply. i have been looking real hard and think i am correct in assuming infra-red pair. i currently went with optical gap sensors fitted into the rails under track and that is working... mostly :) Good luck with your project.

Sadly, I am not able to give you a precise ballast measurement as the car was sold a little while ago. We (a friend and I) last time, tried with some sticky fishing ballast behind the front axle as the car was lifting of the slot on wood track. also had the Very Hard 'green' chassis on, for that same wood track setup.

I bought one of these a couple of months ago and it’s by far the worse handling car out of all my gt3 cars. Within 10 minutes it sideswiped a barrier at relatively low speed cracking the rear bodywork and the rear light lens and bumper flying off. I found the same problems with the protruding chip which caused frequent deslotting. I glued the chip inside the pan but there were still other issues. I put an upgraded magnet in it, the same that I’ve used on other cars but it was binding against the crown wheel. Every problem I seemed to solve made another problem. Sadly it’s been confined to the spare parts bin. Won’t by another Scalextric car with this type of chassis.

@johnny_s_workshop Жыл бұрын

I know, it's such a shame. It's a nice model with questionable chassis design. Some guys have designed/used 3d printed chassis to make it a much better car

funnily enough, I got the the number 66 SD team car Parker racing Porsche 911 GT3 car, and had similar issues, the car kicks the rear end out too much and gets caught too easily in the bends, either coming to a complete stop, or leaving the track, I found that releasing the screws a little to let the body float a little on the chassis helps a bit, luckily I have not damaged mine yet, but it's only 3 months old, and I have had a couple of scares with it, rear wing has only popped off once, though thank god and they clip back in these days so that is a bonus, no horrible looking glue remnants left on body work as with my previous DRP cars.
