I love seeing your process! Great video. I even picked out a few techniques that I’ll put into my next track build. Thanks Rob!

[@shotgundave92584]

"If you think you can't, you're right." Great video Rob. Love the little track.

[@SwiftSlots]

Your table top test track is mostly what motivated me to make this Dave 🥰

[@shotgundave92584]

@@SwiftSlots That’s awesome Rob! Funny thing is, now you’re motivating me to build a fold up track like yours!

[@SwiftSlots]

@@shotgundave92584 LOL, I'll FB you a pic of it folded and clipped together in the morning.

Nice build, Rob!

[@SwiftSlots]

Thank you 🙂

[@SlotCar2021]

You know what I think I am going to get on with a HO routed track over summer. Might see if I can borrow a router. I like how you used the track as a template, really handy tip. This build was epic, loved it from start to finish! ❤

[@SwiftSlots]

Thank you 🙂 Using the track came from the original idea of using Scalextric track, and as you say, actually using pre-made track does make things a little simpler for laying out a track plan. Good luck 🙂

[@robertsale6528]

Absolutely superb Rob, I've shared this on my channel. Great work sir 👍👍👍👍

[@SwiftSlots]

Thank you Rob 😀

[@johangrapendaal5050]

Rob you are simply the best KZbin Slot Car Guy... Love your content and you're so talented! Cheers from South Carolina!

[@SwiftSlots]

Oh no, there are plenty of guys out there far better than me, but thank you anyway 🙂

[@Area51racewayNC]

That was Fantastic Rob! I liked how you expressed to everyone that anyone can do a track. I also learned how to say your town name properly! 😂

[@SwiftSlots]

LOL, you got it spot on first time in the live anyway 😀

[@slotr]

Thanks Rob, great video and that trick with the latches is now stored in the noggin for future use :)

[@SwiftSlots]

I knicked it from somebody else, 😀

[@slotr]

@@SwiftSlots ahh an act of flattery 😆

[@slotjournal]

Incredible work, Rob. So well thought-out and such a tidy job on the construction. Thanks for showing us how it's done. 👍

[@SwiftSlots]

Thank you 🥰

[@machoman5356]

Tight!👍👍 no digital garb.

[@SwiftSlots]

Digital 🤢🤮

[@Scale_Slotcars_Latvia]

Wonderful track Rob . I rekon you will inspire many people to actually give a wood routed track build a go .Top quality work, and to be honest, im one of those who wouldn't have the confidence to actually try it at the moment 🤭 I can't even get a square table using all the recommended ways of measuring ,drives me crazy mate . Thanks for sharing your beautiful track build 🤗

[@SwiftSlots]

Do it, it's easy!!!

[@robbeaumont4811]

Rob what a fantastic job you have done, my favourite video of yours so far. First class in every particular Sir. Can’t wait to see what you’ll have in store for us next time.

[@SwiftSlots]

Thank you 🥰

[@chrispatzkowsky7165]

[@RonGodbey6871]

Stumbled across your video and I have to say it was fascinating! I loved your video the pace and music, it all worked! I would love to have you build a track for me! lol I will be watching from now on!

[@SwiftSlots]

Thank you Ron, I'm glad you are onboard 😀

[@garyevitt897]

Beautiful and creative build.

[@SwiftSlots]

Thank you 🥰

[@chrispatzkowsky7165]

Outstanding Rob.

[@SwiftSlots]

Thank you 🥰

[@bomamo9620]

Hi Rob. Awesome, magnificent, outstanding ...., I could go on for quite more words to discribe your job. 🙂 Even I could learn from it, watching you doing that. I got an idea from this clip, but sadly I am missing a Band-Saw and a Turning-Machine. But I figured already out, to get it done without those Machines 😉 Ride on Rob, keep the good contents comming... 🙂 Sadly I could give you only one Like and not a few hundreds! 😎😎😎

[@SwiftSlots]

Thank you 🥰

[@SlotCraftMaster]

What a great video! Totally agree that anyone can do it, I get that myself. The difficult part is the designing and problem-solving whilst making the prototype. Ones the video is out there is just copy paste. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@SwiftSlots]

Yep, just follow my lead 😀

[@Bowl_of_roses]

Undercoat seems to be quite grippy as an alternative to satin.

[@lewisfroud81]

Love this, been on my mind to do for a while and you definitely inspired me to have a go. Only thing is, do you have any more guidance on the electrical connections part?

[@SwiftSlots]

What is it you'd like to know, the wires to the track or control panel ?

[@lewisfroud81]

@@SwiftSlots both I guess

[@SwiftSlots]

@@lewisfroud81 The track rails are simply joined together in any way you want. I connected mine on this build with a bus bar and then put + through once latch and - through the other, see 19:30 . The wiring can be found here slotcarcorner.com/pages/track-wiring
