Hey guys, I want to make a track for my z, I have a 12.5x38 foot area but I can't think of any Good Designs, Anyone got some? The 15 foot thing is really annoying as the track can only have "1 dimension" Like, you can only have straights going one way because 5 feet isn't much.. ( acounting for coming back, so that lane needs room too)
While I'm here, is this a real Mini Z Monster? yoyoyoyo Just search Mini Z monster

Wow, this is almost as exciting as me getting one!
*



What a coincidence (must've spelled that wrong) I feel the same way!

Thanks for thinking of layouts, I want to make the biggest track possible! Thanks saturn, 'cause I don't know what a mini-z can do yet...

No I wouldn't make fun of you unless I put lol or j/k... lo j/k
satUrn, couldn't we just use the timer stock?



Thanl<s! (see I'm 1337)In my basement, There's a piece of wood holding up our house in the middle of the basement (lol) oh and stairs on top of the wood (It's how you get down) And can you give me the grid? Pretty please?
(Just edit your post we don't want to be warned for chat-rooming)
And saturn!!! Maybe we could get Identical layouts (Surfice barriers etc) and time ourselves, then compare our results on here!!! I have concrete tile foam mats, and maybe a really small hardwood place to race, how about you?
OOOOHHH!!!! Plus, If me and you make a track It doesn't have to be huge, besides, I have other places to build a track!



That track looks awesome!!!

It's even got pits!!! the only I'll change is make the straight (leading to the pits) go more towards the rest of the track, see how it goes straight to the pits? Yeah, I'd make it keep going straight and you have to turn to go to the pits, that's the only thing I'm going to change though
Saturn! How about we both make 1 of these? (Don't worry, I'm still making your/my track!

SATURN!!! I finished the track! I tried running my gen.1 on it... Didn't work out so well tongue.gif (xmod)
Hmmm... now you have too! lol

THE NEXT DAY


I made the one you posted, I'll have pics soon But what will we use for the flooring? Foam mats? Cement floor?
Also, I can't find any microsizer timers on ebay...
Ohhh ahhhh!!!!

I might, but not today! I'm getting 3/4 inch... You? (Just made these new posts because old ones were too cluttered...
I'd like to use concrete, Basement/garage concrete..
Hmm... I have like 5x10 of plywood... That could be the base for the rally...
We could use ZZMT tires....
Cya till like 7 2night, then I might come back on...
How bout 5x10? my parents would be less then thrilled about me ripping up the yard...
Whe you say rally, it could be like dirt and really short grass and narrow roads and stuff, not just dirt... But dirt and rally tracks would be really hard to get to be indentical though.....

Beat ya to it saturn!

How about we do like 5x5, I only have like 20-25 feet of PVC, I might be able to buy more, but not till like next week... I got all the elbows (well actually tees beacuse they didn't have any elbows, and tees were only $.68 so I just got them instead....) Maybe a new design?
I could make an oval right now so that we can start racing today...
I only have my xmod now so it'd have to be xmods.....
How about a carpet rally?
I can't find a hobbico one, so.... I'll just use a stopwatch...

Yeah, but I don't have one and I don't live in america... I tried a ZZ timer and It didn't pick up the xmod... (too fast I guess)

I got my Speed checker today! My stock supras go 16kph according to the speed checker, and my RS suped up lancer goes 22...

Pics later..
I don't have AlM and saTurn doesn't have MSN and my parents already hate chat rooms. So if you have any practical ideas besides make your own website I'd love to hear it and don't worry there'll be plenty o pics when I get my Z wink.gif the point of the body being so high is so that the wheels fit

So as long as we just edit we're good? Alright, since that was the plan anyways, no problem, sorry for being annoying... ph34r.gif
I'm Going to check the mail to see if my Z has come yet......
saturnv7890
oh man! nice! This has been a long time coming! congradualtions! When you said in the other topic that you mini-z has a good turing radius, i thought you were jsut making fun of me! Congrats on finally getting one!! Wow, this is almost as exciting as me getting one!

With mini-z tracks, you really only need 2 feet of track width.


as for layouts, i'll think of somthing real soon. With a variety of stuff.

where do you have this 12x38 feet place? Thats a pretty crazy rectangle...

i just made a grid (for the track) and am designing right now


i definitly dont have as much room as you, maybe outside...

I dont really wanna race as a big a track as you can fit....

well here's the design. it was afun one to do (i love designing tracks, dont lol biggrin.gif tongue.gif j/k me). I forgot about staires and stuff, so you can play with it however you like...

oh when i made it jpg, parts of the starting grid got all meffed so bear with the jpg format sad.gif
user posted image

i'll get the grid in a sec...
you dont have to pretty please, i'd love to help in any way i can to see a brand new mr-02 zip around a brand new track that i can say i helped with wink.gif

yeah the reason i made the entrance to the pits so dirtect is so the pits are on the edge so you can work on your car easilier.

heres the graph:
user posted image

yeah i made the track so you can have so high speed racing but still have some slower technical stuff.

OOH!!!! IDEA!!!! (i know, i have those alot) how about you take away the barreir in some places so you can block off sections so you can fast easy tracks or long tracks.. that would be cool


now that i could do.

pvc? and we could have different classes, low pile carpet, hardwood, dirt, tarmac, tile, you name it!

dimensions? I think 2.5 foot lanes would compliment pvc pipe good. I have a few 10' sections in the garage right now...
about the lap timer, heres what we could do:

resize your pics before they kill you!! oh and i made our track on xmods track builder, now showing dimensions! and use of pvc pipe....

hey i've been sig-quoted!
so have you now... twice... in one sig... hmm

i just looked in ym garage and found out i have enough to make that track above. I just need to buy some elbows and whatnot...

well, i have to go, cya tomorow....

--------------------------------------------------------------------- (tommorow)

wait, the track that we're both gonna make or the one i designed?
post pics....

well, i have to pick up some elbows and whatnot then i can make mine

wow, i'm speechless (in a good way)

my dream has become a reality... overnight! That's really cool

i just did the math, it would be about 100usd to use foam so i can't do that, but concrete (basement/garage type, outdoor has too much grip) for the mini-z's and maybe a dirt rally for xmods? I'm gonna use my awd lancer evo 8 with truck tires.

well, i'll run to the hardware store today and pick up the 4 elbows i need to make our competition track then assemble!

------------------

concrete it is!

I also have this loft above the garage (my new house actually is pretty sweet) so if you have any plywood, we can race on ply wood too.
I really wanna do the xmod rally to, just dont have enough for truck tires, maybe i'll make some, or find some, or somethin like that.

I might not be able to run to the hardware store today but definitly tommorow.

I'm using 1/2 inch, thats what's been laying in my basement for quite some time waitng to be turned into a track, now it gets what it want's...

just not as cool as it was gonna be, i was gonna make the road course on xmodsrc.com, but maybe some other time, i dont have any money...

----------------

zzmt tires!!! Deh! But they might be too small... ooh idea!!! I'll be back with pics!!!

but why put plywood down for a rally? we do like what yekosc did and rip up grass. Or find a 10x10 dirt patch, that would probably be better....

---------------

sweet, looks really good. Well, i'm almost done iwth my idea....

i went to my sailing camp dance tonight... it was pretty fun

what i mean by a rally is find a dirt patch, put the pvc barriers on the track, and vioiliolla, instant rally course!

i'll be here with pics later tonight on my lancer rally!

------------------

oh no!!!!!! Just wait till you get your mini-z and some more pvc because i already built the track!!! Go to the crt section in a little bit and you'll se it there...

heres my wonder ful idea, using zzmt tire's as rally tire covers! to make it more offroady, while having an easy conversion to road!

these are the tires:
user posted image

These are what was cut off of the tire to make it more normaler:

And they stretch right over the road tires! (like that sweet red effect? I did it by putting my finger over the flash)

yeah, just ge some more pvc later and wait for the mini-z to come, no rush, i'll just be practicing and posting vids for a while. Oh and making that lap timer


------------------------------

you can use a zipzap lap timer, i said that before...
SkysTheLimit
pfft, doesnt look like you get much chassis clearance from those tires and lift kit. You have a LOT of useless body clearance though...

Well Id like to see pics of a Mini-Z not an Xmod in a mIni-z topic.

and the two of you. yes you two. you know who im talking about.

get in a room or something. this isnt the place to use as a chat, get on AIM MSN live chat etc. anywhere but continuous posts between the two of you jeez.
nascar8
Hey ZipZaps, and Saturn... Remember this is NOT your personal chat room. Try not to fill an entire thread with chatty comments... Again. Earn your post count, don't BS it.

You need MRCC more than MRCC needs you. Think about that.
saturnv7890
we dont try to raise up our post count, we edit into our posts so people like you dont complain. It's not like we're raising our post count up more than 1 or two posts, and it's not like the posts above are completely usless.

Did you read any of our posts? we're planning our own online championship. If you want us to start a new topic about that, then we can easily do that.

At least we're not spamming. Think about that.
baratacus
First of all this belongs in the track section. Second, the two of you planing something like this needs to happen in chat or on the phone. I'm going to have to treat the two of you as one entity and consecutive posting between the two of you will be limited to one post from each. You can add with the edit button any further information untill another member posts. If you find a patsy to play along with you or you create another account you and the other people involved will be banned. Why is it you two are acting like 8 year olds that need to be seperated so they don't cause trouble? You aren't just annoying Nascar any more. Its spread to a much larger group of people and now has my attention. I'll be editing and cleaning up your prior posts. Please adhere to the new "just for you" guidelines.
