    The scenery is a little busy for my taste. I'm not a big fan of blind corners and such but looks like you enjoy it, which is what matters. Thank you for sharing. Freindly tip, if you hold up a sheet of white pare behind your cars the camera will focus on them.

    @zedsodead your right, busy it is, I don't consider this a racing track, more like a driving track and yes some of my corners are dramatic, I would definitely not set up a digital track the Same way

    Leb hobbies, they list a 1/24, 62 corvette tires, don't think they listed size, but I noticed all the 1/24 62 corvettes have the same size tires and I'm guessing that tha jag probably takes the same skinny tires

    @Clearwater124 unfortunately pretty much the same, the only thing for me is that the rubber was super soft compared to the aged ones on the car, not perfect but more drivable for now. I hate shopping for slotcar tires on line, especially for 1/32 , seems a lot easier with modern 1/24's ,I'll have to keep looking or maybe measure the ones I have and try and find comparable match.

    It looks like in most races, the car in lane 1 usually has better reaction time and leaves first.

    It's probably because I'm right-handed, and my right thumb reacts faster, I'll have to look into a dual launch one button system of some sort.

    You to get way more grip in those 124 scale cars. Are the magnets missing. And have you sanded the tries. All I here is wheel spin.

  • @MASTERGROWERP
    @MASTERGROWERP5 ай бұрын

    Bone stock, still playing around with it, have a second 1/24 track coming this week and Stargate plus dashboard. Only thing I've tried is setting the brakes at setting 1 , 20% and love that difference, I basically cause more wheel spin with aggressive throttling, I just get a kick out of it.But I'll know more on my final layout that will be totally flat, no bridge. New tires are always a plus. Just feeling my way around this new scale till I get serious about it

    I have all 124 scale cars they are the best for me. You should give a thought to giving up on any over passes. Run just a flat setup. I have more fun with a flat layout. Also get Smartrace for timing and a leader board. Then you will not need position towers. Smart race is the best for Carrera digital. Also Smartrace will save you money on expensive Carrera stuff.

  • @HOMESLOTCAR-ir4op

    I'm going flat as soon as the second set gets here to connect to it, if smartrace is run through internet and computer, I'm shit outta luck, I don't live there so don't have TV, cable, internet. I just started playing with the braking today as suggested by a viewer and lowered to 20% , big difference, I was never a big fan of bridges, they where fine on my afx sets in the 70's, I don't mind so much on my 1/32 layout because of scenery detailing. Thanks for the advice, always appreciated.
