Innovative slot car track raiser/support design idea and how to make them

[@DASSlotCarBox]

Yep! I’ll be making a batch of these this weekend. Thank you for sharing mate. Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺

[@SlotCraftMaster]

If you bump into any trouble let me know

[@markcunningham87]

Now that's thinking...with the box!! Great idea.

[@SlotCraftMaster]

I saw what you did there 😆 thanks mate glad you like it 👍

[@IrrerasCarrera]

I'm keeping this one in my favorites cause I'll need to come back when I get my new track pieces in. Good job dude and thanks for doing this🎉

[@SlotCraftMaster]

Cheers mate thanks for watching 🤙

[@SewfastSpeedway]

That’s pretty darn cool. It’s this kind of thing that makes me really enjoy this hobby and the information that KZbin provides for us. 👍

[@SlotCraftMaster]

You and me both mate!

just the video I needed to see just bought another 15 metres of track to build an overpass on my track and was thinking about a cheap way of building the supports. thanks tony

[@SlotCraftMaster]

Happy to help Tony ☺

Nice work to protect the good material from being scrap! Love the way you think and find solutions!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🍀🍀🍀

[@SlotCraftMaster]

It may be that I'm cheep that makes me creative 😆. Thanks brother, glad you like it.

@@SlotCraftMaster I also use "old" (means "used", because empty 🤷🏽‍♂️😉😂) but cleaned yoghurt cups for some fluid when painting. Or decaling, I have an old cover of a family pack of Vanilla icecream, it's a low but wide cover, so I fill a bit water inside and the large surface allows me to easily grab the waterslide decals from the side with tweezers when they are ready to come off the carrier film...

[@SlotCraftMaster]

@@michael_schreiner smart 👌 who needs fancy tools? I think you would enjoy the video where I used a yoghurt container to make Seats for my grandstand

[@michael_schreiner]

@@SlotCraftMaster yes, of course I enjoyed that Video! 🙏👍🏽

[@robertsale6528]

Superb video buddy really useful tips there which I'll be using when I change my layout,nice tune as well!! 👍👍👍

[@SlotCraftMaster]

Thanks brother, much appreciated 👍 People don't know this but I spend quite some time searching for the music.

[@Mickamikaze_]

I'm so impressed about how good it holds his position. i still don't understand the magictrick, but I def gonna try it :D nice job slotcarwizard! :D

[@SlotCraftMaster]

The magic trick is called friction! In medieval times I'll would burn on the stake for that but now days it's simple 😆

[@13_TH_559]

For someone it's trash, for us its diy crafts material 👍

[@SlotCraftMaster]

I grew up learning to do the most with what you have, thanks for watching!

[@13_TH_559]

@@SlotCraftMaster me the same. Use what u have and make the best of it.

[@davidtvedte1337]

I'm thinking along these lines but not even starting with plywood on top of a bench. Just build a framework bench and then put in risers of various lengths to get the desired height. What you created is great in that you can change the angle of the riser to set the track on to create slight banks to the curves. I plan to make the width of the supports to allow for borders everywhere. Likely I will make my own borders instead of buying the Carrera ones.

[@SlotCraftMaster]

Love the way you think. My design is ment to inspire and to show how easy and costless it can be. I'm working right now on them on my track and as it will be a permanent one I did the different highlights for consistency plus its all plywood. I will do my own borders as well but that material for another video. Glad you got inspired by my video, enjoy the build mate.

[@ButchersSlotcarJournal]

Very nice idea, I'll keep this in mind for my permanent track built.

[@SlotCraftMaster]

It works well for a temporary track as well, and much better than the Carrera ones

[@jmcdermott2633]

I really like your track layout. Any chance you have a list of track pieces used or a diagram?

[@SlotCraftMaster]

Thanks mate, give some time and all get to a diagram ASAP Cheers

[@SlotCraftMaster]

here is hot my layout looks right now... drive.google.com/file/d/1-CH54kEHrFtMZLchk7VTYaWPuXthVwAh/view?usp=sharing I plan to make some changes and add DIY shoulders so stay tuned to see the development. Hope this helps

[@jmcdermott2633]

Thank you. Very interested in seeing the DIY shoulders.
