Turbo Racing 1/76 Armco Style Track Walls

Hi guys, More info coming soon. I am using these as I type, I just haven't had time to document. You can see the size in my Turbo Racing 1/76 review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mJr66j9AYE Wall style track: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4896113 The "In" files are inside corners. The first number is the radius in millimeters. The second number is the sweep angle (most are 45 degrees). The straight pieces can be scaled on the long axis to make any length you want. These are Armco style walls (Aluminum guard rails) for use with your Turbo Racing 1/76 RC cars. I used a piece of paperclip and hot glue to join the sections. I put a little "W" bend in one end of the wire to create some friction to hold it better and just hot glued the other end. Hot glue alone also works. I made sections for testing and taped them at the joints and that works fine if you want less permanence. My initial plan was to make permanent layouts, but now I'm torn. My plan was to make a "Picture Frame" track using an Ikea picture frame but the frames are not as solid as I remembered. It's nothing glue won't fix but I'm having second thoughts. Dollar store foam core boards work pretty well but be careful to pick very flat ones (I got a couple with more bend than I thought and they don't lay flat very easily). You can also build track right on a table. I've got some other style pieces coming. I found other peoples with built in connections to be not quite what I wanted so mine all require a piece of wire. I might revisit that, but not for these. I like these the way they are. Stay tuned. From a dollars perspective, these probably don't make a lot of sense if you're paying to have them printed. For DIY, half a roll of plastic makes a useable amount of track. Wrench to drive or drive to wrench?
