Custom 1/32 Slot Car Build
Don't know if anyone here is into slot car racing. I am.
A few years ago I routed my own track and added a computer-driven timing system triggered by a photocell embedded in the slot.
The project took about a year of sporadic building, and I haven't even done the scenery yet. It's a smaller track, but will portray the Bixby Bridge on CA's scenic Highway One.
I also added two electrically thrown switches and isolated blocks, like old school model railroading, so I can park cars on the track while others race.
This model is a Slot.it 1/32 Audi R8C build from scratch. I also designed the livery and produced it in Photoshop, then created my own decals and applied them to the car.
This one competed in last year's Race Across America, a premiere slot car event.
There are lots more where this came from!
