Greetings HRW,
First off, thanks to Dave, Harry & others (Travis @ That Slotcar Guy). Wife purchased me the newer Policar BRZ drift set & expansion set (4 more straights + 8 more R1 curves) for father's day. I'm stoked to say the least. I watched Harry and Dave's coverage of the set and think it's the best bet for me and my little kiddos especially with the adjustable power supply. I'm also in the process of offloading some other older hobby assets collecting dust in the garage to free up some funds to pickup the following:
Policar set from Professor Motor w/ the Scalextric Ford & Ferrari, a 4 pack of the small straights and one pack of the R2 45 deg curves.
I could use some assistance in feedback. I'm contemplating picking up two aftermarket controllers from Professor Motor as well but am confused as to the exact differences between their 35 Ohm vs Electronic control for my Policar set. Could someone explain the difference between an electronic control vs resistor design?
Also, here's my proposed layout I'm considering. Put it together with Ultimate Racer 3.0 - track length comes out just about even, and I'm planning on employing Nils' idea of using foam tape (from McMaster Carr) for borders, mounted on top of foam core board for somewhat easier storage and ability to do some landscaping.
I've already got a 4'x8' table in my office area, with a computer monitor mounted off the side and area for my keyboard. Going to loop the right side of the track through some cabling for my work station and then extend the table into a "L". Not sure how-to display my plan correctly, but the right portion will be elevated and will drop down through the corkscrew compared to what is displayed.
As mentioned, open to any and all feedback! Looking forward to getting involved in the community and reliving some of my fond memories as a kid racing slots with my kids.
