About

Like many folks here, I got introduced to the downhill racing via 3Dbotmaker's incredible videos, and felt like I would have a blast building my own track. After many months of acquiring track pieces and new cars, I have finally assembled a track that I am happy with. I can see myself making a few more adjustments, namely adding a 3rd tier to the corkscrew, potentially making the straight leading into it slightly less dangerous. Overall the track has a lot of speed on it, and the majority of the cars are able to go the distance. 

Outside of the AFCR and Hotwheels Orange track, the track uses a JLHKRAFTS 2 Lane Electronic Start Gate and Electronic Finish line combo (which has incredibly accurate timing and I am loving so far!) as well as 3D printed wall mounts from Aknots3DPrints. The track is mostly held up by Wii and PS2 games, and some wooden boards I found when looking around my basement.

I have been running qualifying among my collection of cars for now, and I'll leave a link to the spreadsheet I'm using in case any of you fellow stats nerds would like to take a look.
