Routing Strip

A 96" long Lexan strip with holes drilled every 5cm for use with #17 finishing nails or similar, which allows you to route just about any curve or corner that you an imagine down to a 7 1/2" radius.

Routing Guide

A 96" piece of Sintra which is used in the already routed slot to guide your router for subsequent slots. This strip is designed to fit snugly in the slot, and is compressible, so may need to be tapped down into the slot for the first few times it is used.

Price - $10

Router Base Plate

A 3D printed router base that allows for 3", 3.5", or 4" lane spacing (custom lane spacing available). Some modifications to the plate may be required to mate up to the router base being used. Uses your existing router hardware. Since these are 3D printed, I can "pre-drill" the holes for mounting it to your router. All I need is some information about your router, so that I can make sure the holes are the right size, and in the right places. As mentioned, I can easily customize the print for whatever lane spacing you want.

How-To DVD

This DVD covers all the aspects of creating a slot car track from wood. It is about 2 hours in length and covers everything from routing the slot to adding landscaping elements. It's a great way to get a feel for all the fun involved in track building before you even buy lumber. After watching this video you will be able to create the track of your dreams! Purchase of the DVD or the Master Kit includes access to a private YouTube video of this content. Your YouTube account email address will be required to provide access.

Taping Tool

This new and improved taping tool is fully 3D Printed. The spool holds one roll of 3M Venture copper tape (7/32", 1.0mil, not included) and the holding plate holds the tape and spool in place on the upright using the included machine screw and wing nut. The baseplate provides a solid base to slide along the routed surface while two nylon guide pins ride in the slot. There is a "backing guide" to aid in directing the copper tape backing away from the table. Also included is a soft pad just aft of the tape guide that helps to press down the tape as you move the taping tool along the track surface. A tip sheet is included to get the most from your taping tool. Note that the guide pins may need to be trimmed for fit, depending on the width of your slot. Watch a video of the original tool being shown off.
