Nice video, I've been doing this with analog cars. I have cars from various manufactures so I can run all my cars with my ghost car(s) for practice and fun. I use the tape method into various corners and run my ghost car at full speed and at a higher voltage.
Maybe 5 lap races? Just kidding! If the contact brushes are clean and well connected to the car and track has good power all the way around I have no other ideas. Good luck.
@@zoskinso3420 I thought of that, but the tracks too small for 5 lap races. lol. I got them working perfect now. I think it's because I didn't use the red clips to hold the track together or the track was too small. I wouldn't think I would need clips on a 4' oval track and one of the cars worked when it was a 8' oval track with out clips. But, a 10' track with clips worked perfect. Thanks for replying.

Great videos and great tips! Thank you. 👍 Your videos are not too long not too short.
You're welcome. Thank you for the nice comment.
Interesting idea! I may give this a go!
Race On!

Thanks.I was sure I wasn't the first to think of it, but thought I'd share for those that had not. It is effective.
So simple, so smart !
Works great. I was able to speed up my ghosts quite a bit
👍 Thanks for commenting.
Nice idea.
I just put more sticky tires on my ghost cars and the racers use stock tires.
Nice if you don’t want to mess around with tires.
I thought about this the other day. good idea!
My guess is in a few years we will b able to program the ghost car!
Isn't that already possible with Carrera digital ?
Brilliant
Thanks 👍
i will try
thanks
Hope it works for you. 👍
Thanks I will try this out! :~))
Nice trick, but first I have to figure out why my ghost cars keep stopping after 5-7 laps. Any ideal?

What is a ghost car?
A car operated by the computer.
So you actually have someting to physically race against.
👍
@@zoskinso3420 Is it like a game changer, where at one hand it races really good then all of sudden it is in the way?
