Hi guys, I finaly have a track design that I'm almost happy with, after setting up and tearing down lots of times. I need some Artin banked curve track.
Does anyone have any for sale?
Thanks, John.

Are you talking about Artin R1 banked pieces? I've got a boatload of them.

Awhile back I had these in my Artin setup. They are great and really add speed to your track. The down fall is on the inside lane cars like SCX DTMs wont make
the turn as they scrape bottom. I suspect other cars that sit low will have the same trouble. Of course Carrera Go! will not have this problem. As they are
built more for off road use.

My SCX DTMs just drift around the inside.

the carrera 4wd f1's drag the nose on the carrera banks, so there increadable ground clearence isnt enough. anything past the front wheels needs to be
higher. with the f1's, i simply filed the botom side of body and you cant tell unless veiwed from underneath. havent had a problem with any other cars but
if i did, i would keep the banks and modify the cars.

MOTS was kind enough to donate a banked curve for my track and since I'v been using it, I've been loving it! My Artins and Carrera6v have no problems
with clearance. Once I get more, I can finally complete my track!!

I found that putting 3.5 straights in between each of the 1/8 banks helps with the clearance issues. Makes a nice, wider bank. It's that tight 180 that
kills em on the inside.

Right now I have 2 banked pieces, a straight, and 2 banked pieces, creating a 180. I love it. I will have a mirror image of that on the other side of the
table, with an elevated straight to join them and a long straight at the other end of each. The shape I'm trying to describe is like if you take the letter
S and stretch it wide and straighten the ends. Then the rest of the track will be mostly some technical stuff with some straight.

I have all banked corners except one corner (called Lion's Catch because my cat grabs the cars) and some are fairly close together (and one is a Carrera
hi-bank) but my cars are fine other than they lose electrical contact at the middle of it but momentum carries them through.
