QUETION!!!!


ok, i got a question about the rcp tracks....

here are my questions:

1: How wide is the mini til 96????? How about with the expansion kit?

2: I do not see how you could make any other track setups with the wide "l", how could you? And what have you guys made?

Answer

I am told the Mini 96 tiles are 30 cm and the Wide L and Wide Oval tiles are 50 cm. Even with the expansion kit the Mini 96 lanes are not as wide as the Wide L.

I made a couple of different track layouts with one Wide L.

how??? (do you make different layouts... with an "L"?)

and the tiles are 30cm, so the track is 60cm wide? All i race is 2ft lanes when i put up a makeshift track! That'll be easy!
thanks!

one track can be limiting. Where the possiblilities grow is when you have 2 or more.

http://www.saltlakemini-z.com/Tracks.html Check the links on the page for more layouts.

just to clarify with the Mini-96 the width is (60cm) 23" minus the rail width. so you will be looking at less then 24"

not if you have enough space.... for the average home owner, they are simply too large and this is obvious. doesn't take a brain surgeon to realize which is better for indoor home use vs. basement/shop/outdoor racing.

Widths..

I believe I read that the lane width for a Mini-96 with two tiles is ~18.5",
and then with the expansion pack, the three tile width is ~30"
The Wide L with two tiles is ~32.5"

mini-96 tiles are 30cm (12") and the wide-l tiles are 50cm (20")

i love my mini-96+exp pack and i recommend this for anyone who is looking for an in-home/ garage track.

search button and www.rcp-tracks.com should answer any and all beginner questions about RCP.

I went back and read it off of RCP's website, again

Two tile Mini-96, lane width is 18.5"
expansion adds 12", so that makes the lane width 30.5"
Two tile Wide L, lane width is 33"

I was only off by .5", I did say "I believe I read.."

Lane Width..

I took the info straight out of the RCP .PDF file that you can download from their website. It says Lane Width, which is the width of the tile less the width of the rails.
