That track is junk for running t-jets on.
Tyco is the best , along with the adapters and Tomy hairpin curves my 10 laner is a blast. Some mm and afx curves and adapters and misc pcs. but no hassles and smooth on all lanes. the Tomy track when using all tomy clicks loud , is very noisy , eats up shoes , breaks t-jet guide pins and is just a mess.
He is bummed , I told him to get some tyco track at garage sales and thrift stores everywhere , CHEAP!
But he thinks "new is better" ... well he did at least.

I really admire your ability to avoid making controversial statements in an inflammatory manner. Building up one product by tearing down a competing product is always the most positive way to carry out a discussion and to get people to embrace your point of view. Take a page out the politicians play book and sling some mud. We all know that politicians are widely admired for their campaign tactics. Dale Carnegie should watch out; his training in how to win friends and influence people is about to be displaced by your methods!

I agree that Tyco track is better for tjets, but you can smooth out the Tomy track:

1 - Shave off the speed-bump nubs on the connector tabs in the center of each piece.
2 - Slightly push down the 'Z' rails so they are below the straight rails. They will catch pickup shoes of some chassis (tjets, HP7) and pop the cars up and out of the slot.

Following these 2 steps should smooth out your Tomy track. I'm saying this assuming your track isn't fastened down with nails.

Good luck with your Tyco track & have fun with your T-jets 2. Had a bunch of MM L&J track I could of sold you.......and it's made just for T-jets.

Gee, I run magnets on Tomy track. I guess I'm an idiot. Good thing I don't have any t-jets or I'd really be in trouble.

I just bought a Tomy 4 lane tuckaway track layout like on Greg Braun's site and plan to run everything from t-jets to magnet cars on it.

I should of read this post first before dropping the bucks on it.

I feel like a real ignoramous:freak::freak:

What shall I ever do??????

Maybe I will just donate all that I have to the local salvation army store.....

I'm sure someone will find a use for all of it......:tongue::tongue:

Since it is junk maybe I will just use the straight pieces for edging for around my flower gardens then.....

C'mon Slotkarkid, why don't you get past all the niceties and start engaging in some dialog with your fellow board members. Here's what I humbly suggest:

Create your own thread titled "I Am So Damn Smart - You are All Soooo Damn Stupid." You know, in case someone, for reasons unknown and mysterious, missed that obvious point already. Hey, it happens! We can pin it - in case we lose site of the vision and need to be indoctrinated again. What can I say, we are weak. We need magnetic assist and your guidance.

In your "special" thread lay out your whole manifesto of pent-up frustrations that are plaguing you. Bring on all the gory details. Those voices in your head, they are telling you something. Please share! May I suggest the following topics:

- The problem: Global Warming. The Cause: Magnet Cars
- Idiots and Magnet Cars, a Marriage Made in Heavenly Poles.
- Tomy Track, Dead Whales on the Beach. Coincidence? No.
- Debunking Einstein, Albert was Wrong, I am Right. Again!
- Fact or Fiction? Hot Chicks and TJet Drivers. Fact.
- How I set a new track record at Psycho Path Raceway, with both hands, and arms, securely tied behind my back, and drool on my chin.
- 10 Reasons Why You are All Stupid.
- 10 More Reasons Why You are All Stupid.
- My Dog Thinks You're Stupid Too.
- My Imaginary Friend Thinks You're Stupid.
- My Electroshock Therapist Thinks You're Stupid.
- I am King of the World. And You are Stupid.

That should about do it. For now at least. We understand. Once the formalities are dispensed with, and we've been properly educated and put in our place, well then maybe you can revel in a little dialog and lighthearted banter with the rest of us lower tier occupants of this hobby forum. Hobby, as in a thing you do for enjoyment and a way to share a non stressful pastime and fun with like minded people. I know, enjoyment, it's a foreign concept, but we are so feeble minded and so easily succumb to the temptation. Please forgive us.

Work your friend's track instead of your mouth and it'll run smoother.

Start with that and let us know how it goes. :thumbsup:

This is really cool SlotKarKid. You make an inflamatory post telling most of us that we have junk track. Then you reply with "lol" and "Snicker Snicker ". Do you just enjoy pissing people off? Why don't you schlep on over to SCI? They actually seem to prefer your type of ill considered comments on that forum.

Plastic track is FINE with 10 lanes , we have more fun on it than on any commerical tracks we have raced on!
Seems like a lot of up-tight folk here , must be the economy. ? Or the high price of NOS t-jet chassis.
Seems like snitch city!

u will have to wait till i get back to ohio for photos , 10 lanes takes up a lot of space and it is all I have left , i sold all the rest of my spare rare mm curves and specialty track to ya'll's friend boosa 4 years ago or so. I may not be still kicking by then , who knows. it takes up the 4 car + garage /shop. I am poor now and stuck here for now.
Sure is a fun set-up though , 32X32 and all lanes as equal as could be gotten, THATS IMPORTANT , forget the nats, I am bairly aflot now!
