This is an analog track. I don't have sensors.

Hi, it's working great. Never had an issue with any of it and the look is uniform even if the pieces were painted at different times. I have no idea about a clearcoat or what that might do.

@@biggusmikus Good to know, thanks for the reply. I was thinking of the constant rubbing of the tires and etc following the same basic running lines lap after lap, thinking it would eventually rub the paint off, Usually after the paint job dries, if you put a clear coat on it, the item is protected much better, like a car finish or an outdoor table...today's modern paint probably has those protectants built in. Thanks again for verifying that it's holding up :)

@@roundsaturn31 I've never had any paint rub off. I have had, however, a racing line develop on the track as the cars lay rubber down. I use rubber tires when possible, usually the stock rubber. So on track there is a light racing line. I'm wondering what kind of traction properties a layer of clear coat would have. The vinyl works great on top. I suppose if clear coat didn't create a totally slick surface, then it would probably work. I'd definitely try it on a track piece or two before going all in on it just in case.

@@biggusmikus yes, we are on the same page...it's kind of interesting since I was thinking of spray painting for a cocrete look and then sealing it with a flat clear coat, for the clear coat to work it would have to seal the paint...so even flat would probably create a slicker surface...don't know and probably over thinking it, but that's what learning is all about :) Thanks for the chat and Happy Holidays!

Yes they can.

I've done comparisons with new track and freshly painted new track, and I feel a grip improvement. It's not much, but it's noticeable in the corners. The larger the radius of curve, the more grip improvement there is. I love Thunderslot cars. Not a dud in the bunch.

Right on! Thanks Slotcar Dude!

Hi, thanks! I used to have a course setup when I had a permanent table in my attic. I've moved to an apartment since then, so my priorities have shifted to tuning and racing cars on temporary circuits I can squeeze into my living room. Yes, I painted the track with exterior latex house paint and it came out great. Have fun with whichever track you decide on making! I can never decide, so I like having to constantly change.

Everything is working great. I haven't had a single track piece go bad.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks Duffy Mark

Thanks!

Yeah, thanks. I got a little mixed up on that stuff.

I think there’s a slight but noticeable increase in grip.

That sounds like a good reason it’s shaped like that. Thanks Mark!

Yep, as much as my back and knees protest. But I have a need for speed!

@@biggusmikus What happened to the tables you had set up in the attic?

@@markphillips5368 Wife and I broke up…had to move. I still have the wood, though. Just no place to set it up at the moment.

@@biggusmikus Sorry to hear that, Mikey. Have been through the same thing before - not the nicest thing to happen.

@@markphillips5368 thanks. Yep, not a whole lot of fun. But it is what it is.

I was just looking at that Jagermeister car today....

Hey that's great! I hope you like the results.

Ich glaube so!

Thanks Kris!

Thanks and you do the same!

Thanks Dani!

Thanks very much! Very kind words! I loved having the attic table, and would absolutely fill a 2-car garage if given the opportunity. My 5-year old daughter loves slot cars, so now I have someone to race with. I love it!

@@biggusmikus your welcome Mikey, my two daughters and my son grew up with Scalextric and loved racing, these days my son who is 30, is the only one who can beat me on the wooden track, great family fun hobbie that feeds the imagination with good wholesome memories ... keep it up :)

Hey thanks that slotcarguy! Love your stuff!

Thanks. I ended up covering the table in green grass, which I liked very much. I used that because I never planned on doing scenery or anything, as I like to change up my layouts a lot. That whole situation is over now, as I've moved out and the table is no longer. Now I run on the floor for the time being and am focusing on the cars more. I love all the Classic race cars! Thanks for watching

That should be interesting. I don't think I've seen that done before. Let me know how it goes.

@@biggusmikus Well I painted some curves that can be slick and now my Mustang gty isn't as twitchy I can squeeze the trigger harder coming out of the corner, it can still spinout but not as easy, still going to experiment after the urethane tires show up..

@@mreid08 Right on. I definitely noticed a difference once I gave my cars some time to lay down some rubber on the track. Seemed to get better as it went along. Thanks for the update. Cool that that worked out. You should notice a difference with the urethane tires as well.

Thanks! I found that the paint had no negative effect on the stock tires. In fact, the Slot.it tires run great on it. I also run urethanes, but not on all the cars, just a few of them.

I'm in Germany. I've been here 12 years now, originally from California. Great place to find Carrera stuff. Big displays at department stores during the holidays, stuff like that. Really great commercial tracks here as well.

Right on, thanks! Yeah, that's a hard decision. They're both great cars. I suppose I could have gone either way and been totally happy, and in the end got both anyway, so it ultimately didn't matter all that much.
