👍👍👍 Hello, I've made some Arduino electronics for our slot car track: lap counter with special functions, measuring speed and acceleration. We used it to measure on our track. Now my question to you and your community would be: What is the typical maximum speed and maximum acceleration in this class?
@@electronics.unmessed hi, depends on the motor and the Voltage/Amps available! Can be up to 3 Amps per lane, even more with H0 cars or Dragster!!! There it can be up to 8 Amps per lane!!!!
@@slotcardude68 OK, we have standard Carrera124 cars on our track. Some are tuned a little. We are driving with a maximum of 18 volts. I think, we are in the 3 to 5 amp class with that. We reached a maximum of 25 km/h and a little over 3 g, or 30 m/s^2. Does anyone have any values for comparison?
@slotcardude68 there is a wood track in Riga motor museum but I don't know if it's used and they only race those silly super fast cars with the undetailed bodies ...not something I would be interested in at all and over 3 hours away driving non stop ✋️
@slotcardude68 there isn't a tradition of racing cars of the type we are into in Latvia .we have a few wood tracks in colleges which are firstly used for educational purposes . I've never heard of anything but very unrealistic fast cars being used on them . If you check the page Baltic championship you will see what's raced. I rekon it goes back to soviet times when you couldn't buy the slot cars we love .And you still can't buy 132 slotcars in latvia 😪
That rolling road is great, where can you buy them from? This looks good for tyre conditioning too, get heat in tyres then apply oil and keep doing that. I think I am going to add more weight to my cars, do you find you have to turn the brakes up because of the weight Nico? Great job ❤
@@slotcardude68Amazing thanks Nico. I also agree that cars need to be set up on a wood track. Last time I trued my tyres and set a car up on Scalextric track. When I took it to the wood track I noticed the tyres weren't 100% true so plastic tracks are more forgiving.
@@Spunky678 I don't have any experience with Scalextric track at all......., heard about the rust problem! I am sorry, but I haven't got any idea in this topic at all, as our Club only has Carrera track and a routed track.
Like #17, I LOVE the Lola T-70, especially in 1/24 scale. That green one you have looks very classy.
Milo, I fully agree!!💯👍👍
@@slotcardude68 I really want to make two specific cars, a 1/24 Scale Porsche 919 Tribute edition and a 1/24 Pagani Huayra.
That’s a pretty neat machine you have there for motor run in and watching for wheel alignment and balancing 👍

@@slotcardude68 Thanks for both the links👍
@@SewfastSpeedway he also has a TH-cam channel with more products, link in the text to this video!
I like your Rolling Road, one of the earlier models :)
🤣🤣🤣 thanks for watching and stopping by!!!!!!
I got it used from a guy in my area!
Great club track, nice test😎😎😎
@@ted.slotcardaddy yes it is a great track, thanks Ted!!!!!!
Always informative, entertaining, and appreciated. Looks like a very good race club. Cheers! 😁
Thank you! Our Club consists of more than just one track!!!!
@@slotcardude68 I am still looking in my area to find a club for racing. So far no luck, but I shall persevere. 😃
@@boykinater good luck and keep on looking!!!!!
Nico……. You are amazing mate
Why is that Pat??🙏😳
@@slotcardude68 your knowledge and the way you set your cars up wow cool🤟🤟
@@pats-slots 😇😁😎🤟😇🙏
Thanks Pat!!!!!

Good job 👍
Thanks, still timkering on the T290.

@@slotcardude68 Wow! That is pretty fast. I was just doing the math quickly: this corresponds to 5,3g - cool! Thanks for the insights!
@@electronics.unmessed 🙏🤷♂️🤟👍🙏
Nice looking green car .wow I wish I had a club to go too . Great job setting up the car for racing 😊
Harry, thank you, trying my best and trying to share the infos as well!!
P.S.: isn't there a track at some kind 9f motor museum in Latvia??

@@SCALE_SLOTCARS ah okay! Just picked it up somewhere in the net I guess......... Wing cars are different to scale cars, no doubt!!!!!!

Quit question best product for cleaning 1/32 track .
Which product: Carrera, Scalextric, Ninco, Polistil,.....?
@@slotcardude68 scale flex getting rust at the connect point. Now my track is in the garage.its summer time now but a wet weather and I am seeing rust
