    Try this for ideas. X switch with 2 curves at one end only pulling a single lane off. Use to create islands with 2 more switches . Max cops and robbers chase and outside loop for racing all loops.

      Interesting idea. I can't afford the parts or have the space to make it work, but I like the idea. Thanks for the comment.

    Cool ideas. For those interested in distances per lane, I got them here:
    #1 (54'11" vs 54'10")
    #2 (61' vs 60'10")
    #3 (55'10 vs 57'8")
    #4(58'10 vs 60'9")
    #5(51'7" vs 53'6")
    #6 (58'5" vs 60'3")
    #7 (54'1" vs 56')
    #8 (58'7" vs 58'5")
    #9 (63'5" vs 63'7")
    If you do not have the digital system I highly recommend tracks 2, 8, and 9 due to how close lanes are, otherwise it would make it quite unfair to the racer on the exterior lanes. As example, track #4 has a difference between lanes of almost 2 feet! (close to 60cms). That's an extra 19'2" (6 meters) if you have a 10 lap race!

      standard straight 26 (lane changes = 2 straights)
      1/3 straight 2
      1/4 straight 2
      Power terminal 1

      2/30 (banked or not) 6
      4/15 curve 2 (I got these at CincySlots, they sell single track pc. A pkg is 12 pc)

    Wow.
    If you don't mind, we're new to this.
    What are you using for the track supports in the center of some of the elevated track sections?
    Is there an app for the Carrera track designs? Thanks.

    • @zoskinso3420
      @zoskinso3420  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Suzukii,
      I make all my track supports out of MDF (fiberboard), scrap wood and styrofoam. You can see them in my video 'Carrera track shoulders, mods, jumpers' starting @ 2:01.
      There are several track design apps available. I use a free app I downloaded, Carrera Track Planner, it is not great but does work for my needs. Also visit the SmartRace website, at the bottom of the page is a link to many track design ideas. SmartRace is a race and timing management app (about $12.00) I highly recommend for Carrera.
      Thanks for watching & commenting.

    thanks for these good ideas. Can you tell me if it would be worthwhile to buy a cheaper 1/24 digital track and expand it with a cheaper Evolution track?

    • @zoskinso3420
      @zoskinso3420  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks anton, I think basic Carrera track is the same for digital and evolution, I don't know of cheaper compatable track parts. Usually cheaper to find expansion packs that fit your needs and add single pieces as needed to complete layout. I designed several layouts and made an inventory of what I needed and shopped for deals when I started.

      Layouts should work fine. Carrera Digital & analog tracks (132/124) are the same, difference is in control box and cars. Digital cars work on either, analog only work with analog control box. Old track looks compatable with newer track but I can't say for sure.

I now have the room for a permanent setup with limits but can build any of the plans you showed and I am stoked! Thank you su much, Im sure I am not the only grateful viewer.

      Hi Nick. I think that track inventory will build all of these layouts. Adding 2 more 1/4 straights (4 total) should build the layouts thru #18. CarreraSlots.com, LEB Hobbies and Cincyslots.com are a good source for parts. CincySlots sells single pieces, handy because I didn't want to pay for 12 - 4/15 pc when I wanted 4. Thanks for the nice comment. Good luck with the layout and Have Fun.

      Chief, Short answer is about $750 total to build these layouts.
      I started with a set w/digital controllers on sale for $269. Once I knew I liked it I designed a few tracks and figured out what I needed to build them and bought packaged parts & individual as needed. A consideration is if a great deal can be found (as I did) buy 2 sets (I didn't). 4 cars, 4 controllers, backup power terminal and power pack, less track to add.
      Hope that helps.
