Track materials

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The most versatile, re-usable, easiest building track materials are..... LEGO's.

friends

Stridex,

Our micro racing group is actually part of a large group of friends that have been getting together since about 1982 for various games (RPG's, Card Games, etc.). One of our members...

re: barriers and shortcuts

Regarding the question about the white lancer and taking shortcuts -- when I build the track, I sometimes build in shortcuts that can be taken, like the little red barriers in the 10 lap race from...

The boundaries for our carball arena are made out of foam pipe insulation we bought at Lowe's (a home improvement store) for about $1 or $2 per 8 feet. We just cut it to fit the table, put a 3"...

tracks

Sure, it might be easier and cheaper for ONE track to get particle board and paint, but after you've raced on that track for a week, you can't just redo and reconfigure it at will, as with legos. ...

traction

Traction on the lego road plates is fine. In our racing group we have classes for each race (1.0 class, where only 1.0 motors are permitted, and Unlimited class, where anything goes). In 1.0 class,...

lego road plates

Got the road plates here:

scale

It was my understanding that HO scale was closest for bit cars, zipzaps, digis, etc.

I may be wrong.

Lego track - Surprised how good it works!

After spending the time and bucks on materials for four tracks for my racing group so far, I decided that re-workable, modular, legos might be the trick at this point. I saw some pix on various web...

speed needed

Re: the question above as to why only 1.6 motors or higher can play -- if you allow the use of 1.0 motors for carbowling, it is simply too easy. Steering is usually good enough and slow enough at...

Since we posted the pix on the site, we actually found some small (about 1.5 inches tall) plastic bowling pins from a toy game set. We are now using these (ill try to post a pic soon), and they work...

In reply to the question above, you CAN steer your car on the way down the bowling lane, but you CANNOT stop your car. Once you "hit the gas" and start down the lane, you have to keep going full...

zipzaps

The only reason zipzaps are restricted in both carbowling and carball for our group is that they are bigger and heavier than bit cars. All of the members of our group have at least one bit car, but...

To answer the questions posed:

1. ZipZaps are ineligible because in our experience, due to their extra weight, they can easily push or bash bit char g's or clones around. While this might not be...
