My scalextric

[suranareekk]

Cool!



[sparky13j1993]

that is one hell of a layout! nice one * jealous*

[TGHighlanders]

Awesome!

[TghIII]

inspiring work right there.. Scalectric was never for kids, I remember my dads track as a kid, built to run inside the model train track, I was only allowed into the attic if he was there to supervise me

[cas123321]

what goes faster? f1 cars or the road cars (aston martin lamborghini etc.)

[MrTOMBOTTOMS]

Cool layout!

[jasemat]

Having just found my Scalextric track in boxes yesterday i ended up searching on here, You sir have built a f**king awsome trak there

[Robosardine]

It's the real thing

[7StarsFromTheMoOn]

hey im getting a scalextric track for my layout this weekend but is the controllers that come with them good or should i upgrade them as money isnt an issue

[7StarsFromTheMoOn]

[shortyrox09]

hi,

i'm planning on making some micro scalextric vw campervan's to sell on ebay. they'll be on ebay by january2010 and i'd love feedback to know basically if anyone would buy them.

send me your thoughts on the idea and more importantly if you would buy one.

thanks

[Fraser452]

id probably be intrested :D

[nickbloy]

why micro? 1:32 scale is more popular

[beyondthebars]

@nickbloy er it is 1:32 scale !

[nickbloy]

@beyondthebars i was replying to a comment, i know its 1:32 scale

[beyondthebars]

@nickbloy Sorry, my mistake

[mikeyb2k9]

@nickbloy micro's cheaper :) and doesnt take as much space :P besides the "Micro" was the original scalextric. They just made bigger ones, then changed the older one to "micro" old school ftw.

[JBofBrisbane]

@mikeyb2k9 Excuse me? Scalextric was always 1:32 scale from day 1. Micro Scalextric 1:64 is a recent development.

[mikeyb2k9]

@JBofBrisbane I had the small version years ago as a kid 0,o only ever noticed the larger ones afterwards :o I know again theyre making them and calling it micro... but. meh

[JBofBrisbane]

@mikeyb2k9 - are you sure you're not talking about Aurora Thunderjet or AFX? That's the same size as Micro Scalextric. Okay, I never heard of 1:64 Scalextric before, but I only saw the 1:32 version until AFX, and then Tyco, started being advertised here in the early seventies - when I was a kid.

Anyone else hear of Scalextric cars smaller than 1:32 scale way back when?

[Fraser452]

i've just started but im not sure what to do i might being getting a set soon what kind of car shall i get?

[beyondthebars]

Go with whatever you like best, that's the fun.

[Fraser452]

@beyondthebars thnx

[SURHOMME123]

Ive never been into scaelectrix but that is just amazing !

[TESMRock]

sweet

[Joriske61]

How do you made that decoration? I've got a Scalextric track to, and i'm searching some cheap stuff to make it more realistic.

[Andyisnotmyname]

I love ittt :D.

I dug out my old scalextric the other day, because my 3 year old cousin had just got his "my first scalextric" set - and i'm having great fun just setting up layouts and stuff!

and of course, thrashing my mother :P

[MJallen88]

Lovely.. That looks like an amazingly built circuit.

Its 1 of those things. When you are a child and you are expected to play with slot cars, you aren't old enough to do anything interesting then when you are at an age where you can buy it and create layouts like that, people say your too old to be doing it.

All I know is, im 21 and i'd love to have a slot car circuit like yours, or a big train set haha :).

[TheCubesicle]

train sets a boring, to make me take this back, show me a train set that can drift...

[TheFerrarichannel]

cooooooool

[salsacolin1]

Nice layout, lots of track in a small space

[NeilFerdowsian]

That must get so fucking boring.

[SummerTheFuzzy]

haha yeah

[sinimo7]

nice track and i really lov the accesories graet job bet it took a long time to build 54/5

[Pedroxes84]

I like.

wacht my video

[Moorhopser]

very nice track :-)

[reximerus00]

very nice :) i am going to have the same :P

[beyondthebars]

1/32

[rodentcafeteria]

That's a really nice layout. It has a nice combination of long straights, chicanes and tight turns. Are the cars 1/24 or 1/32 scale?

[duncan9992]

Well good

[fpkhellfire]

Do like a Basic Oval or Just think of a small and simple lay out thats what i started with

[leeyoh061]

I am so new with slot cars, can you please help me how to make a good layout for a starter just like me.

[GreendayMinority124]

buy aset plus expansion packs :)

[nascarfan154]

im a starter to and have no idea just start out with ovals or just the layout the set came with thats how i got started

[FSW2000]

what a cool layout !!!!

[lofvet]

Fantastic layout - I love the size of it and the really long straights. Great job!

[nitromarcus]

Nice scaletrix :PxD:)

[Mechasaiyan6]

how much did this cost you?

[beyondthebars]

Please se reply to kwiffsniffer below

[norwegianme]

very nice:) love the work here:-)

[2nerfnerds]

wicked nice! what are the table demensions?

[beyondthebars]

Table? Nah - Floor. don't know but will measure sometime. That straight against the long wall is 5m though

[notlrachtron]

great set up

[kwiffsniffer]

how much did that cost you, roughly?

[beyondthebars]

No idea intruth as it was a long-term project. I suspect it's as well I don't know!

[yammy98r1]

i want one!

[12RYAN32LIAM]

wher is the auidio [sound]

[bigeyd]

very jealous of you

[MikeHardman7]

lot of work gone in there, looks great

[SleggO9]

Hey. What is the real difference between Standard and Digital. Because I want to get some for Christmas, and I'm Wondering to get Standard or Digital, Bearing in mind i don't have much money.

[GJPS11]

good track

make it digital!!!!!

[beyondthebars]

Good God! I couldn't afford to do that!

[bwubba]

wow. if only could have the paticence to build a track that good.well done :)

[TouringMars]

Awesome work! Looks fantastic! I wish I had kept mine now!

[prankman6]

nice set mate

[spinsandneedles]

All that work really pays off in one of the best sceniced race layouts on youtube.

Check out our group Digital Scale Racining on yahoo groups. We have some pictures too and there are contests for best photo. It's not all digital.

Keep racing!

[TheViewer10]

wow your track is insane ! that must have cost alot.that dunlop-sign-bridge-thing is £15 alone lol !!! =]

[sheetole]

Awesome track set up. You must have a big attic lol.

[herkie12643]

coooorrrr!

it must of taken ages

to make the setup!

well done m8!

[rhysfawr4]

wow, what a gorgeous track!

[neilam6]

mine never looked like this lol

[shejime]

great!!

[georgie6699]

Sweet Lord!!! this set is beautiful!!! I had a small set as a kid and loved it until it was completely weared out, but I wonder why that car doesn't get out of the track on those tight curves?, because with the one I had you had to take them really slow or the car would roll out of the track, which was really cool! I want one again really bad!!!

[beyondthebars]

A couple of the cars have extra strong magnets which pretty much 'glue' them to the track whatever the speed. Essential for my Grandson at the moment otherwise he would be felling lots of trees!

[airmarlon3]

brilliant layout

[qqqqqqqq]

Wow, nice one you've made there!

[merwaan123]

awesome!!!

and you are now £1,000 poorer!

[kfs025]

thats great ,sort of setup i dream about!

[merwaan123]

awsome! how much is that track worth???

[beyondthebars]

I have no real idea. It was a long term project.  Don't really want to work it out as I may upset myself. Whoever gets the house will get the scalextric! It's not really practical to dismantle it.

[lelegilada]

amazing

[alexb12kt]

put a fly lola on the track and blast it about lol that would look really cool

[beyondthebars]

Got one. Swapped the wires round so it goes around the track anti-clockwise!

[alexb12kt]

nice idea and strage and random! i like it :)

[jamf4s]

Cool. Now you just need some F1 engine sounds and an on board camera the size of an ant.

[PepsiBoy3000]

Just the smallest details make it great! The trees, the parked cars, the grass. It's just really cool!

[maddriver05]

Nice track man !!! I have also one !!

[spyderboy13]

GETA A LIFE MAN!!!!!!!!

[beyondthebars]

Get a life yourself you miserable git. No-one's forcing you to look at this video

[DL130551]

i think it pretty good mine is still in its box lol

[fodsaks]

spyderboy's probably just as jealous as me.

If I was 11 you'd never have got rid of me!

[Icehounds17]

WOW ! is that an actual track like silverstone or is it your own design

[beyondthebars]

My own design. Tried to get as much track as possible within the space available

[Heritage1969]

That's one of the coolest tracks I've ever seen.

5 Stars

[nobbycampbell]

Love your layout.Can you tell me where you got your grandstand from please.Thanks.

[beyondthebars]

Made it from 3mm foam board (its sort of mount board for graphic design etc) Also made the advertisement 'barriers' from it

[Oranoco]

That is so cool. Have a Revel Lotus Cortina and Scalextric Escort RS1600 sitting on my PC desk, neither have run on trackj though as I just don't have the time to pull it all out the cupboard. Quite tempted to dig it all out now but the wife will go loopy

[DL130551]

can i ave it then

jkin

[diceman065]

Excellent layout and track design. What is the area that the track takes up? I'm trying to get a feel for how big the layout is.

Cheers.

[kindahungry1]

my aim is to get a track like urs, ill never make it that good but... no harm trying :)

[c8f8]

Quite nice scenery and track design!

[axp1895]

What is the measurment of the table it's on and what kind of track?

[beyondthebars]

No table - it's on the attic floor, with track set into those green fibre boards that you use under laminate flooring. Just laid the track, marked the outline on the board, took the track up and cut the shape out of the boards and relaid the track. What kind of track? Just standard scalextric

[vdz9214]

only one word amazing.

[squidjuice]

That is one of the best layouts I've seen. (I think the driver of the #9 is Monteiro).

Anyway, I hope my layout looks as good as yours someday. Well done!

[beyondthebars]

Thanks for your comments. It was fun to do. One day my Grandson can be trusted to enjoy it!

[mark624963]

nice track m8 well done, i also like the scenery for the track aswell. Great job :D

[beyondthebars]

No. The car is a number 9 but I don't know what that makes the driver

[AjStyles04]

Hooray F1 fan!

Is that the jordan of 05 driven by Tiago Monteiro?

[LICORPOLLO]
