Sadly - in my line of work I will be busy for 2 months day and night - then be idle for 2 months and then be busy again ...

Wait let me take that back and restate it...

it's official: RC45 = grown up with too much time on his hands

if i lived nearby to you i could help you design some scenery as we used to do those kinds of realistic terrains with our GI joe sets (before i got "too old" for it). how hard would it rule to have your own remote controlled rally course? shit that's cool

Fuck me!! That is all I need to say!!

Good work!

whoa RC45 you have some mad skills if that was me id take the first board and then throw it away and probably not think of it for the rest of my life.

I guess I have enough variety of cars now - so I can begin concentrating on the "layout proper"...



But - everytime I say "enough!!" - someone releases another great car...

She rolls her eyes and asks what "home improvement" she gets as compensation...

Very impressive....nice job.....beautifull.....gorgeous......etc...


What scale are your cars?Is it 1/32?

Another one:how do the car 'manages' the roundabout,are they turning around randomly before getting out or you can control that?

Don't you tune your cars??
Alloy wheels... other tires... engines...
I ask this because most cars seem stock.

I am into the slot cars... but not so seriously.

I have some cars, though, but most oriented for speed tracks and not rally (like yours):

-Fly-Racing Lola LMP
-Slot.it Porsche 956 (do you know this there in America? They're the fastest cars you can actually buy)
-SCX MG Lola LM
-SCX Fiat 600 (like your but I did a custom abarth paint job)
-Ninco Subaru Prorace
-Fly Chevron B21 (for classic racing)
-Fly Ford GT40 (classic also)

But I have them all tuned... some just a little bit, like the classics, only the pinion, tires and guides, because of the rules here for the classic tournaments.

But, the Porsche 956 has a Scaleauto 42k rpm engine, mounted sidewinder, with magnetic suspension, gomme front tires, Ninco Racing Slicks 512, and a few other goodies...

The Fly Raing Lola is also simillarly "equiped" but it has only inline mounting, so its not so fast has the Porsche.

Let's see if I can post some photos here...



And BTW... very nice track, and lots, lots of cars for someone that has just started!!

Do you already have pics of your track ready??
