Like many others of my generation had a little scalextric that amuse me more than frustrated because those cars do 40 years, constantly leaving the track and the track was so short that it was indeed boring.
But in my subconscious must have been the desire to investigate the potential of this toy,
A pinito as I did then, riding a variant of the circuit, causing an accomplice to my brother and leaving open the circuit due to lack of parts , receiving a scolding My father ran the risk of burning the huge transformer then took the toy.
Over 30 years later, one Christmas I thought that the Kings bring him to my daughter a scalextric, but really it was my subconscious, that he had left with the desire to investigate the possibilities of the toy he was writing the letter the Kings
And really looking forward to buy a small circuit which I expanded to a track changes, a chicane and slippery curves where cars simulating ice skating.
Twelfth Night mount it all, along with two other cars, and after the surprise and excitement of the first moments I realized that I had inherited the toy for me.
From that day I started investigating and discovered that there were many other brands besides scalextric were Ninco, Carrera, Revert, Scalextric, Slot, Fly, etc, etc ... scalextric launches only three or four new cars every month , so that the window of cars on the market is almost infinite.
why this hobby is the more general name slot that is as known in the world.
Here in Spain had a crisis when it closed in the early 90's factory was EXIN scalextric maker, after the patent manage two other companies with little hit, caught TECNITOYS has once again put the toy in the top of the ranking of Christmas gifts.
irresistible addition to the aesthetics of the car, which is a real pain when you see them in stores, remember our childhood when we stuck the nose to the window displays of toys, there is the possibility that the toy offers to design circuits, and I have fully exploited because my love for my geometry and formation of a civil engineer, the toy is for me as a laboratory.
Thus I designed and built spectacular circuits of up to four storeys and more than 30 m in length with lots of crosses at different levels.
I invite you to see them in my blog http://miscircuitosdeslot.blogspot.com and here I put some examples which I will comment.
This is the most difficult circuits still one of the most complex I've designed.
has four levels high. More than 30 steps to a different level where the pstas Cuzán.
This crowned by a roundabout at which enters and exits through a special piece of intersection at the same level.
peraltar properly is very important to all parts of the track circuit at any time press the bottom of the car wheels.
This is a curious loop or knot made of two levels with tracks that simulate snow white and have painted the ruts of mud.
.
In the top of the previous picture and the next we see a spiral or helix can be placed in a corner of the circuit, or in the center which is designed around the same
A Following is the details of a rally area and reverse curves made,
now have some photos of a circuit in which the cental line is duplicated in two heights, simulating a tunnel area .
can see the symmetry with respect the center.
And finally to end these examples, a circuit that we can remember two ports joined by a hill.
