Oh.....!
Wish I had time and money for yet another hobby!

Your track looks awesome (as do the cars.)
Really nice work.

My sister and I had cars waaaay bitd.
A Frog and a Hornet.
Stupid fun. Now I wonder where those went.

Vocalitus:
That track looks really cool. I think it would be nice to reintroduce the train track as a feature.

Reminds me of the slot car racing I did back in the 80s.

Have you tried installing a Pi in one of those RC vehicles so it learns the track?

BadMouth:
This makes me want to create an Ivan Ironman Stewart's Super Offroad experience with RC trucks and the arcade control panel.
The music in your video is cool, but in the back of my mind I hear the arcade music.

That would be awesome.

just recently modernized and converted my 1:10 scale Ratshack Hummer H2 to a brushless motor. it wasn't bad at all, servo steering, 550 motor, AWD. just wanted to have some more pep to it and modernize it, as it was the old 27mhz trans. type.

retained the 7.2v pack for now, but planning in the future to go to a 3C lithium pack. but also considdering just going to a 8.4 NiMh pack since i can easily modify the battery compartment to facilitate it.

bought a GoolRC 3500kv 3650 brushless motor and 60A ESC, ESC programmer, Dumbo RC clone controller, and a 20kg steering servo. all in, it was about 120 bucks of parts.

didn't have to hack it up too much, the original servo was pretty close to a standard servo and just needed a notch chopped out of the front to make room for the wires. and the motor bolted right up to the stock aluminum plate in the rear dif box. yanked the gear off the 550 motor and pressed it (with some locktite) onto the brushless shaft. fortunately they have the same shaft size.

definitely a spicy machine now...might even be a little fast to off-road at 100% throttle, fortunately the controller speed can be adjusted down.

going to start on the wifes ratshack truck that is equally as old..
