Building a Slotcar version of my RC Rally track was the next logical bound to happen thing to do after building a drive able computer game version of the rc track.

A designed the track based on my measurements using the Carrera Slotcar Track Planner. Unfortunately we only have the “cheap” Carrera Go track – which actually has lot of potential when you replace the stock power supply with an adjustable lab power supply, replace the throttle controller with some old-school Carrera Servo 140 controllers and hook the whole thing up to your computer for some accurate lap timing.

Here is my modified Carrera Slotcar Power-Control-Timing Setup:
