I saw a few pics and mentions in the Gameroom forum but I thought I would start a dedicated one here. I just bought a Carrera Go set for my kid and I to run together and built a nice little table for it. I would love to run 1/32 but don't have the space. It's either them or my pins, lol. I used to play mine as a kid enough I would wear thru the contacts. I am hoping my son continues to enjoy them as much as I do. So far, he likes it.
I know some of you have awesome tracks. So, slot car fans, show us your set up.

Nice. My favorite set was an old Matchbox Race and Chase from about 1982. The cars would reverse course and had a teeter totter/jump on it with cop car. I never could find spare parts for the cars though and eventually they wore out.

Great stories. I have to keep myself from playing with it when the kid isn't so I don't become so much better than him, he quits as a result. Right now I am trying to figure out a way to fit what I want all on that one table.

ZNET, it looks like you have felt for the grass mat. I do too. Do you have an issue with the cars picking up the felt and having it wrap around the axles? I never had this issue before but I think it is because Carrera cars use wire braid for the contacts which is grabbing the felt whereas my old cars used blades for the contacts.

Yeah. I also like the fact it dampens the sound. I won't say it is good felt though. Just fabric I got from Hobby Lobby for $12 for a 2x3 yard sheet. Definitely not billiard quality.

I would imagine by ensuring they don't touch and jumpering the rails from underneath.

To assist with connectivity, I put a tiny bit of silver conductive paste on the connections. I had it left over from when I had to repair a DMD. Just don't use the epoxy, lol.

Will it make it hard and crispy? Should I just use some clear spray paint?

Thanks, ZNET. Bought a used digital set off ebay, and a chicane and a jump bridge to expand the fun. Now to get a double switch and lap timer. Got rid of that wall climb. Thinking of ditching the loop too. Trying to figure out a good way to add some elevation without disrupting flow.

If I had to do a semi temp layout I would buy one of those white plastic topped folding tables to use as a base. Then just lay a sheet of plywood on top. Bolt the track to the platform and when you need to take everything down, lay the platform with track against the wall, fold up the table and lay it against the wood. Throw the controllers and cars in a basket and set it behind the platform. You can have it down or up and running in 5 mins.
