![]() Note that in Luf’s video, and other past how-to magazine articles, the instructions are directed toward building a typically wide, pass anywhere, style of slot car track. And it’s flexible, which lends itself to the twisting required when banking and changing elevations. The best thing about MDF is that it’s so smooth, making it ideal to paint without the priming and sanding that is required on wood particle board. This 1/2″ thick MDF comes in 4’X8′ or 4’X10′ sheets that are fairly inexpensive and readily available at local home building supply outlets. The Old Slot Racer how-to page, and an informative DVD that Luf offers on that site, will help you through the basic steps of layout, routing, and supporting a track made of Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF). Although the basic cutting framing and routing of an AC2Car track and a conventional track are similar, note that there are differences in the AC2Car system of track design that will be outlined below. The best source for detailed information regarding the home construction of a conventional routed slot car track is available on Luf Linkert’s site for builders of wood tracks. ![]()
