backyard Carpet Track!

[le_sam]

hi,

some pics of the offroad track i've just finish yesterday (but need some finitions at least...), and a low quality vidéo :
location : Dordogne, France
there's a lot of english people in this province, more in summer. so if you're a part of them & definitly crazy about rc, you're welcome!
holidays and rc are able together
there is a guest-house just near our house (but not mine)
it's not an advertising, just an invitation to share.











vid' with a Cougar SV :

Nice

I holiday in the Limousin or North Aquitaine areas of France most years. I wonder if I can fit a RC in this year........

[ADW]

Very nice,
What type of carpet is it? Is it expensive? Hoiw does rain effect it?
Regards,
Alan

Looking good!!
Just need 600 tonnes of clay dumping there and it'll be perfect

[le_sam]

thanks!

@i4n : you're welcome. just need that i'll be at home!
contact : here (it's a "shop", but the track is mine and free. just have respect of the area & people of course )

@ADW : it's a basic outdoor carpet, slim, with no relief. crazy grip when dry!!! but sleepy when wet. practicable but sleepy...
3,29€/m2 : here (in france, in U.K. i don't know)

@ben :
in fact in (south of) france there is a lot of clay, dust, etc...
so it's a kind of "british touch" (i've dreamin' on Robin Hood Raceway, Edend Park Raceway, etc...)
but at the club there is dirt...

i'm sure you like it :

i go make in comming holyday asowe a circuit i have al litle bit off astro for the jumps but whats the best way tho make jump i mean what wood?,what lap counter is that ?

[le_sam]

Hi,

to make jumps, use some house timber.
that's cheap and strong, but use a special coat for the basements.

the lap counter is a Giro-Z with 5 captors, for mini-Z.
excellent, just need to place the ship under a no-painted area of the bodies.

bye!
