Making Tracks
Tuttoslot Noleggio Piste, before being born as a rental service, in 2003 already built its first track. The first track which then, in 2006, was used for the first rental for Bmw. From then on, we pushed towards various construction solutions, experimenting on our skin, with our rentals, the effectiveness or otherwise of the solutions practiced. Successes, but also failures, have led us to obtain results highly appreciated by our customers and that give prestige to our work.
It was 2003, our headquarters was in Montebello village and hence the name of the first track: Montebelloslot. A two-lane track, made with Polistil commercial pieces assembled on a wooden table, built in our laboratory. Handcrafted wooden curbs and circuit-style finishes. The table created in two easily dismantled pieces made us think that it would be easily transportable and therefore to start our slot track rental work.
The best solution for those unfamiliar with electrical systems or little time for assembly. Tracks with dimensions and circuit design chosen by the customer. These are made using commercial pieces of various brands, chosen by the customer, with commercial curbs or handcrafted in wood.
The track design can be modified to better respond to the customer's wishes. On the track we provide the wiring of the electrical system, the timing system (if required) and the creation of special sockets for the buttons. All accompanied by simple instructions to follow for assembly.
Commercial tracks to be assembled Pro: the best solution for those who love doing everything on their own. The same typology as the previous one, but which allows the customer to provide not only the assembly but also the construction of the entire electrical system and the timing assembly. We will take care of providing any support for any assembly difficulties. For the purchase see our shop.
The elite of the tracks. Made in our laboratories with dimensions and circuit design chosen together with the customer. The track will be built by means of a numerical control machine (CNC), which will provide for the construction of the lanes and the excavation of the parts of the lawn or diorama. The tables that make up the track are self-supporting, in this way the track can be placed on simple trestles, without requiring special supports. We proceed to the subsequent painting of the circuit, the color can be chosen by the customer without any color limit, and to the application of the metal braid for the lanes. The subsequent construction of the electrical system and the installation of the timing system will complete the production work.
For those who are the lucky owners of an already assembled track and want to restore it, or pieces of track that are no longer efficient and want to recover its functionality and playability, our staff is available to restore the track already assembled, even at home. in our laboratory the pieces for the restoration.
The deoxidation of the strips and the restoration of the electrical systems are the most necessary works for a "dated" track, but we are also able to carry out any grouting on broken pieces, both in plastic and wood, as well as the replacement of track parts not more repairable.
Having a more or less dated track also means wanting it more modern. More current. Fit new curbs, perhaps handcrafted in wood. Want to install a new timing system with all the classic features, but also with new game modes, for example races with fuel and refueling in the race, split times or speed trap [see Bistbox chrono]. It also means wanting new and more modern accessories, boxes, grandstands, houses or other. Or you would like to equip the track with suitable push-button panels and electrical systems that meet the needs of those who want to use the track at a higher level, perhaps by providing it with buttons equipped with a brake. For all this our technicians are available for any type of consultancy and processing.
After some time a fixed mounted track may start to have a little less fun. The solution would be to change the layout.
Modifying the circuit, while keeping the same pieces or with a few additions, could "revive" the passion of the challenge by increasing playability and fun. Let's decide together the new layout. With our planning software we can put on track what was initially a doodle on a white piece of paper.
The reinforcement frame is created for all the panels that will make up the load-bearing structure of the track
Made with polyurethane paint that closes the pores of the wood and makes it water-repellent
The tables of the track join together, so as to have the full surface of the track to be created
After fixing the lawn on the tables Discard the packs of the pieces and first preparation
Welding wires to the track pieces that will make up the electrical backbones of the track
Delicate phase. The track is assembled and at the same time the table is drilled for the passage of the wires
The final result. Here the side rails of the tables and the timing bridge are still missing
Another brand and other scenographic effect, with different colored curbs
To complete the aesthetics of the tracks, you can choose from many types of accessories
6 lane track with Scalextric pieces and handcrafted wooden curbs. In the photo the curbs just assembled
For tracks with wooden curbs, the lawn must be cut to size after mounting the track
The end result of the track now at work in the Canary Islands. With the addition of accessories, the appearance of the track changes
2 lane track with Scalextric pieces and handcrafted wooden curbs.
Once completed, it was delivered and assembled. The peculiarity is that it goes up to the ceiling
When not playing with the track, it climbs to the ceiling. The result is fantastic!
The development of the runway at the time of delivery. Check chrono and operation
Not only flat tracks, but also elevated and parabolic curves and dioramas.
Our artisan curbs are also this: made to measure and with colors chosen by the customer
The hinge on the exact half of the track allows the tilting of 90° and the closure of the shutter
To place it on a trolley for transport and work on village festivals, it was created ...
... a 1 meter flap hinge. Closed here for the trip, raised in the 2nd photo to highlight it
A drawing is chosen together with the customer, which is processed by the CAD for processing
Processing with a CNC machine for cutting and milling lanes and external parts of the track
At the end of the CNC work we have the panels ready for painting
3 coats in total of polyurethane paint: primer, finish and textured finish
The textured finish (our mixture) makes the surface rough for an optimal grip.
Delicate phase that requires a lot of care. The strips are mounted strip by strip.
The phase of the creation of the electrical system.
No mistakes!
They hand cuts all the synthetic lawn and proceeding to the mounting on the track
The
final result after the installation of the barriers, also for the logos that make the
track "racing"
Made of 4 panels of 1.75x3 m., For agile transport in multiple cities, it is assembled in a few minutes.
Thanks to the Bistbox chrono, when the selected speed is exceeded, the flash and the siren go off.
Pedestrian traffic light. When the red light comes on, the light illuminates the strips.
The counter that will host the track. With the CAD drawing provided, we create the base of the track to fit into the counter.
On the shaped table with CNC machine, the hole is because the counter has a column in the middle, the track is mounted.
The track is incorporated into the scenario and the raised banks of the road and the bridge are created.
With modeling method, lawns, trees and other embellishments are created
After the pre-assembly, the panels are dismantled and everything is fixed in the shipping box
After the trip, everything is assembled in the shop and the scenery is finished with additional material.
Also in the back the track makes itself well looked at, with the large staircase dominating.
It is still a race track The pit area, enriched by characters and cars.
The scenographic result has been obtained! The part of the trees that reflects a real forest
From our laboratory, with scenic reproduction of Route 66 in the 1950s
