Default RE: Constructing an RC Track - Need Advice!


ORIGINAL: rc rock

80ft by 60ft???

you can really make a real nice and big track for a 1/18 but i wouldn't bother making it wide enough for a 1/8......
Thanks rc rock.

So what is the minimum I should use to make a fun/drivable 1/18 track? What should the lane width be?

Just out of curiosity what is the standard (or min) lane width for 1/8th tracks? I read somewher that 44in was standard, but most track lanes I see in vids seem larger, so I question that info.

I'd probably never have more than 5 1/8th nitros driving at once, and maybe 10 1/18's at the most.

I am starting to think your right though, maybe I should make the hour+ drive to the nearest local track for the bigger guys...

So yeah, I guess the main info I need (and I have tried to dig on google for this) is what size I need to allocate (sq/ft) and what lane width to use to drive comfortably and have a good time?

Thanks again!
