You should give it a try! However look for other builds which use foam for barriers, I would do it that way if I were to do it again. Would be cheaper too!

Thanks for watching! Glad you love them!

Thanks!

Thank you! Cheers!

Awesome, thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Cheers!

You should get one!

Thanks!

Yes having a modular track makes it really good! It can be done cheaper by using the foam tile edges instead of PVC.

Thanks!

Thanks! Yeah it’s the right size for Mini-Z’s I think! On smaller tracks you can’t really get up to top speed

Thanks for subscribing!

Really easy to make with materials from Bunnings. Instead of using PVC, you can cut up the foam tiles and screw/glue those down as barriers which would bring the cost down.

Great idea with the adhesive neoprene!

@@jarvzRC yes it’s been working well and definitely improved my driving. I really like your track design and how you painted certain areas. The money you saved on a track can go to upgrade parts! Keep up the great content!

@@RePtIlEBoI255 Cheers!

Thanks for subscribing! I made 2x Wide-L style tracks. Each wide L cost about $200 AUD all up. You can half the price by using the foam edges that come with the foam tiles as your barriers instead of using the PVC pipes.

Very nice! I've seen photos of tracks made using cut up foam for the barriers and I think I prefer that over the PVC pipes. I'm considering updating my track and changing the barriers to foam in the future.

Hey guys....just about to do this myself, fantastic idea. I didn't quite get what you meant by cutting the foam? I like the pipe because you have a barrier /outline .... But you can do this with the foam? I can't quite visualize in my head what you mean. I'm probably being stupid :)

@@D1ARBO it means... i cut the mat, and make it as separator of lane... it’s good for the car in case there’s collision/crash to the separator, it act as dampener

1:10 is a bit big for a track this size! Might be able to do it with a wider track length.

Thanks! The tiles are 50 x 50cm

I used PVC junction boxes. If I were to do it again, I would use cut up pieces of foam tiles to use as barriers because the PVC is too hard on the Mini-Z bodies

Thanks for watching! Mine are 50cmx50cm and I think they are the perfect size. I recommend 50cm minimum unless you're really limited on space in which case I'd consider 30cmx30cm.

Not sure what brand they are but they're from my local hardware store bunnings and have a textured side and a smooth side. If you're in the USA, I've heard foam tiles from Harbor Freight are pretty good.

That screenshot is from Salt Lake Mini-Z club’s website. There is a free track designer application you can use called ZRound Track Designer

Yes they worked great!

I've read that people in USA use foam tiles from Harbor Freight. Hope that helps!

They are PVC conduit junction boxes from my local hardware store

You can but it's not the best for drifting, still a bit too much grip

I find that these tiles have too much grip for drifting.

Thanks! The rear T-Plate plays an important role in the Mini'z's handling. Without the correct T-Plate, your rear won't have good traction and your car will be difficult to drive. The T-Plate has two functions: - It is meant to absorb bumps - It is meant to transfer weight forward, backward and side to side I haven't done enough testing yet on my cars yet to find out which T-Plate works best for me. The stock plastic T-Plate is fine if you're just starting out.

@@jarvzRC Thank you man

It looks like you have got the same EVA-foam tiles as i bought frequent. Mine are 40cm square and i read about it that’s only available in 40cm2 and 60cm2 type of tiles. They’re 1cm thick so an underfloor will improve the flatness of the whole track with better equals of the seems. Mini-Z has a plastic t-bar for each new bought cars and rtr sets. Please keep in mind the 4 differences of motor mounting is separated in two types of t-bars. The HM and RM (high mount short chassis 86-90mm wheelbase and rear mount old standards for mini-z 94mm chassis wheelbase. They’ve got the same t-bar wich is ever so slightly longer than the MM and LM chassis wheelbases at 98mm and for Low Mount-LeMans 102mm wheelbase chassis) HM/RM at rcp track needs a carbon t-bar stage 6 upgrade, only my experience with this less grip providing EVA-foam track you’ll have to test your own setups with different types of upgraded carbon t-plates/t-bar (same, in the Netherlands we call it a t-bar, other languages use the t-plate term. You can buy the upgrade from different manufacturers and the ones that Kyosho, Atomic and PN Racing makes are almost similar in costs. The third-party manufactures with Atomic and PN are much easier to get and go as thin as stage 2 (buy whatever you prefer of course, the set of 3x t-plate upgrades from kyosho are stage 5/6&7 in one blister package) for the most part grip comes with different sizes of rims & tyres plus t-plates. And type of chassis with motor positioning, bodykit, damping and many more possibilities. T-plate PN stage 4 works fine for me. T-plate 5 from 3-Racing also works fine. Atomic fiberglas t-plate 3 is really good for me. Keep in mind that this is incredible personally and that you can experience different results from the same material. Greets and good luck. Keep fun is the key

Thanks for the video my friend. It is a very useful one for me especially

EVA foam mats from Bunnings Hardware Store

Curbs are all PVC pipes and PVC connectors. Also PVC junction box for the turning points.

Check my other video about where to buy them: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLZzea-a07Wzj6s.html Hope that helps!

@@jarvzRC Thanks Jarvin

This surface is similar to RCP track, check this video about drifting on them: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qb6Yetmhs8XHnHU.html

You can get a Mini-Z to drift however the track still has too much traction

local hardware shop sells them

Costs around $320 AUD for an MR-03 RWD.. Theres a few Australian stores that sell them and it can be cheaper getting from them ~ $260 AUD

@@jarvzRC thanks

yes it is pricey, but worth it if you'll stick to it long term
