Wow...how ingenious and how obvious. Ive been following 3d Botmaker and their diecast racing for a few years....but never figured out how i might develop a track. I can customize the cars and now you've given me the inspiration to develop my own racetrack lay out. Many thanks...Mike

This is the best one so far, the creator has taken much/most/just enough of the tedium of figuring out; the yellow tape speed bumps, exact angles for jumps, width of the jump- through-dirty-water-bucket measurement etc etc... And to think I clicked on it by accident! You definitely need more fun content like this on your channel! BTW I can see adults racing marbles and or golf balls, while drinking, at the barbecue, of course after letting the kids play with their toy cars. LOL Perfect parent and child family build project for young kids all the way to preteen, imho.

I think if you remove the electrical tape and raise the corner, you’ll have even better results because it’ll come shooting out of the corner. P.S. ask the woman in your life what a hairpin looks like. Once you see one, you’ll think, “oh that’s what they mean when they say that.”
