Tour of Upgrades to my 140ft Carrera Digital Slot Car Layout

[@KeithFiala]

What a great set up! And I LOVE the backing music as well... Incredible job!

[@jeffsmith7864]

Awesome layout thank you for sharing.

This one fantastic racing layout. I can imagine what your collection of slot cars looks like 🇻🇮🚗🚗🚗

I've seen no other that could match this for my taste. Im sure there are, but again for my taste. Love the various signs.

[@MrAramsey4979]

thankyou very much...It's a work in process.

[@Racer-X-143]

Wow what a stunning layout.

[@canersahin]

Man I wish you recorded all your progress as you were building this insane table. I loved it Anthony, I will use your videos for my inspiration.

[@MrAramsey4979]

Thank you for the kind words. If you send me your email, I'll email you some pictures of the process.

Fun stuff Used to have a big Carrera set up as well . Banked turns wire mesh plaster hills we went a bit crazy with those led street lights you can find in many vcd varieties probably had about 45 or 50 including the airport strobe tower. Had the old analog one made 4 lanes driver spots for power I used an old school commercial fire alarm that charged 2 deep cycle lead acid marine batteries tons of power with zero surges. Spent about 2 months matching track pieces sanding trimming others so none of that track click sounds also made custom turns by sawing up various track pieces. Lots of lit buildings night racing was awesome. Have fun .

[@MrAramsey4979]

Wow...Scott you're making me feel lazy. Matching track pieces, sanding, wow, that's commitment. Can you email me pictures of your track...send to [e-mail]. I would love to see what you created. Thanks for the kinds words.

[@jimdellalonga3669]

Great layout Anthony. I'm jealous of the space you have for that. Nice work.

[@MrAramsey4979]

Hey Jim...thanks for the kind words. I have a little secret regarding the space...my wife kicked me out of the lower level. My track had taken over the entire space on the carpet. My main straight was 40 feet long! My wife finally objected and I decided to transform my furnace room into a man cave. Worked out great! Thanks again.

[@DonGraphifx]

Its been a long time since I have done Scalextric car racing. I have since migrated to sim racing in my older years now. After seeing this fantastic layout, I am so inclined to get back to this form of racing and invest on the Carrera slot racing system. You work is impeccable. Well put together. You should start doing GT racing tours on your track with commentaries to liven up the racing coverage with motion graphics too. That would stand out above other slot car racing channels.

[@MrAramsey4979]

Don thank you for the kind words. I'm glad my layout has inspired you. I'll strongly consider your suggestions too.

[@underway1000]

Absolutely incredible. The elegance and "Spirit" of the music matched the craftsmanship, effort and racing spirit poured into this layout. Stunning work Sir! Would love to know front straight length?

[@MrAramsey4979]

Thank you so much for the kind words. I also appreciate that fact that you appreciate the music...I understand that classical music is an acquired taste. The straight is 25' long...

[@maraslots]

love your track getting started with mine now I will have a 40 foot straight away the new king cobra for 2021

Just recently subscribed to your channel. Absolutely breathtaking layout! Thanks for sharing!

[@MrAramsey4979]

thank you Bryan...I appreciate your kind words.

[@davidrivera483]

Dare to dream for my layout after seeing your track setup! Quick question... Did you put any roadbed between the track and table(the sections that touch the table)? I think I have a similar mentality... as I get as much enjoyment if not more creating and maintaining the layout and cars as running them around the track!

[@courage0243]

Beautiful work! I’m just getting into slot cars and gaining information. I’d like to go with Carrera track but I know it’s gonna be a task painting over every other white lane divider line. As detailed and accurate as their cars are it baffles my why they wouldn’t space out those lines to a more realistic spacing.

[@KoreytheFunkyRayda]

Love the layout. But really like the chessboard!

[@MrAramsey4979]

Korey...great observation. I'm not very good but the chess board is cool...

[@billgreen8800]

I AM WONDERING HOW YOU MADE YOUR WRAPPED TIRE BARRIERS? I have not found any of your vids explaining them. I love your Track lay out better then any of them I have seen. Great Job!

[@MrAramsey4979]

Bill thank you very much for the kind words. Regarding the tire barriers, I bought them a few years back on ebay. There was a company in England that sold them...I think. Search ebay, you might find them.

I listened to this for the music, track is nice too

[@MrAramsey4979]

Jacob it's funny you said that...there are people who don't appreciate great music and my choice for the soundtrack. I thought it fit the video perfectly. Glad you feel the same way I did.

Hello Anthony, it's Stéphane, the Frenchman who contacted you for the complete route of your circuit. I'm coming back to you just to find out what piece of music serves as a sound illustration for your circuit? I listen to a French FM radio every day on which there is only classic music and it's impossible to remember!!! Thank you for your help, kindly.

[@swedecarlson9292]

Yes. It is a great layout! The music is a little over the top though. I was waiting to see the ice rink and professional skaters practicing their routine. Next time put a few of your cars on the track.

[@MrAramsey4979]

Thank you my friend. I have more content with cars coming soon.

So how do you keep the layout from getting dusty? How do you vacuum the trees?

Rowdy, it doesn't get too dusty. I just wipe it down with a dry cloth. I don't do anything to the trees.

[@rollandswitalski7146]

Love it Anthony. I like the realism mixed with fun. I enjoy LeMans and I’m picturing grandstands and garages. I know with layouts the fun thing is they are never done. It’s always add and tweak here and there. Will you be adding any buildings, garages or grandstands ?

[@MrAramsey4979]

Absolutely. I planning my next addition. It's the journey that I enjoy most.
