I built an Xmod Track.
 

I will post this in the proper section too, but I thought I would post here to give everyone an idea what the track on the Xmods site would look like and the size comparison to the cars.

The cost for materials for the basic track as in the plans should be around $20.

The only changes I made was to increase the pipe size to 3/4" and add couplings in the 10' sections to make every straight piece 5'. That way I can change the configuration, transport, and store the pieces away easier. I also added the cross piece (bridge) to signify the start/finish line.

I plan on adding more bridges to the straight pieces sticking out to make it more secure for when a car runs into them, they will not move. I also bought a bunch of extra material and plan on making it bigger, and create some new tracks.

Here is a link to the plans. You need Acrobat Reader to view them.

This gives you a good idea how the cars compare in size.

i realy like what you did

yeah thats nice! but dont the cars get stuck on the coplings??
you might be able to add electric tape and some fiber fill around the coulpings so then the cars will just slide off of them.

If you are one of those wall riders, I guess you would. This will teach you to learn to drive and stay off the walls. ;) :D

RS does reccomend duct tape for the joints, but I prefer not to tape them. The couplings are tight enough to hold together, and I can easily take it apart to move it or store it.

how much was the pipeing

Version 2...

So when is everyone coming over?

The total for the basic track that is in RS's plans will run around $20 at Home Depot. I bought extra pipe and fittings for different configurations, so it was little more for that.

do they have round pieces so yo can make a circle track and wide turns
ps is that a f&f eclipse

No they didn't, you would just use a series of 45's to make a circle.

The green car is my custom RSX. (Green with Envy)

stick with version 2, seems more fun

figured it was too small, til i saw the second pic, very nice

It is a little small for the top end stage 2 motors. I'm going to experiment with the lower end motors, and possibly some stage 1 motors. This will be a good test for the different suspensions and tie rods.

IMO, I would rather race on a somewhat tight course that demands skills rather than all out speed.

I can also add a few pieces to make it bigger.

just turn the throttle to lo on the remote, that will give u better handling in turns, and lower top speeds

good job, i have an idea what about a small bridge over the middle possible from wood and cardboard?:D
