Indoor micro track?
 
Hi all,

i am thinking about making a homemade track. I want to make it out of this

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=2603666

And noodles. But the problem is i don't think it will be big enough. I need it to be able to b taken apart and stored, and put back together again. Any other suggestions? Any and all will be welcome.

I am going to be useing my micro dt to race on it. Do you think garden hose would work instead?

i think garden hose will be a little small. maybe if you make 2 layers of it it will work.

I suppose. Ive never used it before so dont know how well it would cut but i would say using the that squishy stuff would be great so you could move the track to anywhere you like. do you have a design for the track yet?

i think garden hose would be fine for a micro..
and i have those same pads..
the micros grip very well and run sufficiently on them!

now that i think about it you probably should find some bigger flexible tubing because the micro will just drive over the garden hose.

yeah but you dont want it soo big that when you drive right into it it stops you..
and with bigger stuff you mioght break a peice here or there...
i think you should use garden hose..

yeah idk its his call. i would go look at a home depot or something before you just use garden hose

pvc pip is good..
but that hose that you are thinking of doesnt come in very small sizes i think...

The best thing for barriers would be foam pipe insulation, its soft and won't your your car as much.
