One Day Track
A small prototype track to detemine the right width and curvature for better turns, and minimal skill.
So far track has proven suitable for all micro cars including ZZSE types. I purposely made this track narrow to not allow the cars to wonder and keep them on track.
This track was made with thin flute corrugated cardboard box material for the bridge and column supports, a large 4x4 sheet of flat cardboard sheet, some balsa sticks for straight fencing, same but sectioned-cut and reinfroced with paper strips to form curves, finally painted with some left over paint I had laying around.
The track project took me and my son a day to complete, we've been having a ball with it since! My lightweight car body/driver is most realistic when we race side by side. More photos, possibly a video later on.
Tools:
Pen
Ruler
Scissors,
Exacto knife
Mini Hand Saw
Elemers Glue
Masking Tape
Disposable Small Brushes.
