Our fully modular track
 
Hiya all!

WeŽd like to present our fully modular BitChar-G track.

The facts:

Fully modular track concept consisting of:

- 28 elements (each 50x50cm) result in more than 15m track-length
- 11 styles of track elements
- 8 different radii of curves allow the most different combination of curves
- completely variing trackvariants (i.e. Highspeed-tracks, wild combination of curves) require an adjusted car setup
- different detailed scenes (hills, lake, forrest...)
- insertable pieces to modify road characteristics
- road width 20cm

Some impressions:

Sweet track, how do you store it away?

PWalk 03-07-2003 09:17 AM

OOPs I see, nice idea with the rack

WOW!!! That track is unbelievably nice. And a very nice website too.

How do you handle the edges of the pieces connecting? Is there a slight bump?

That is a sweet track. It must have taken you hours and hours to do. Very nice!!!!

Hiya all!

First of all thanks for the great responses! We really appreciate each compliment! :)

@rrvball:
All elements are completely flat and have the same height (1cm), so bumps are rare. You can hear it, when a car passes from one element to another, but you can hardly feel it. And even, if the connection between two elements is uneven, you can balance it, by placing a beer mat beneath the lower element.
And yes, it took hours and hours to do! ;) And thereŽs still more to come! WeŽre currently working on two new elements, that should be finished this week.

Trully amazing but where's the starting line????

Doctor Drift 03-30-2003 08:35 AM

Hiya!

@Jr08bll:
Actually, we donŽt have a starting line! :o
Well, we were inspired by Initial D., so we wanted to give the scenery a natural look and not a race track look. For races we use a virtual starting line , i.e. one certain element or the connection line between two elements.

@all:
Initial T. and I have been quite lazy during the past weeks, but the two new elements are almost complete. Our website should be updated within the next two weeks.
