Needed items

[Redrocketracing]

I built my track and believe I've ordered everything I need.
Track, braid, chassis, controllers, cars, power supply, and timing system.
Anything i'm missing fellas? Thanks

Tires, bodies, paint, tools...

Since this is in the Scratchbuilding section, I'm assuming your track is wood construction, painted surface, with routed slots. If so, you'll need some way to spray glue for conditioning traction.

I've had good luck with Coleman Lantern Fuel uncut for cleaning dirty track surfaces/braid, or a very dilute solution of Camen Stickit Brown in lantern fuel for spray glue.

The formula we use is 1 bottle of Stickit Brown to 1 Qt of Naptha. Use a clear bottle so you can make sure the glue has dissolved as much as possible in the naptha. After it is thoroughly dissolved, transfer that mixture to a Spraymaster industrial strength spray bottle (I bought mine at Home Depot). Then spray away, turns only, and let it setup for about 15-30 min. You can also use the naptha to clean the track; again use a spray bottle, it goes farther...

Lastly, depending on the classes you are running, have various sizes of piano wire and brass available...

One issue on a homeset/club (2 - 6 lane) track is lane stickers. Matching the stripe colors can be an issue if you do not plan ahead. Check SEVERAL office supply stores for pads of 3/4 color dots. One brand has made pacs of single colors and you can pick the ones to match your track. One track I raced at used electrical tape pre-cut into squares. This works for HO size cars too since you need smaller ID tabs. No one wants to waste commercial lane stickers or extra colors.
