This is a modular turn that is compatible with "Crash Racers" 2 lane fat track. The entry and exit pieces together form a 30 degree turn and when combined with the other track pieces allow you to build 45, 60, 90, 180 and anything above and in between in increments of 15 degrees.
Custom 60mm connectors are used to connect to Crash Racers fat track or traditional orange hot wheels track. Smaller 40mm connectors are used in conjunction with track clips (or zip ties) to align and fasten the curve together.
The turn has an inner diameter of 400mm (R200) which is 70mm smaller than a crash racers 180, this combined with the 30 and 15 degree angle increments allow you to print and design many more layouts.
Update 2025 V2
Uploaded a versions of the 2025 Update turns (thicker with updated ridges) where the roadlines are not cutout from the model. You can still use the connectors and clips from the other update file.
Update 2025
Major changes:
- Track ridges have been updated to give a slightly different (in my testing better) placement. Cars will often 'hook up' on the inside lane instead of 'migrating' to the center of the turn.
- A longer entry piece has been added to make entry and exit to the curves smoother.
- A cleaner and thicker twist has been added which makes entering and exiting the turn more correct.
- All pieces are much thicker, this increases print quality, bed adhesion and allows for more variation in slicer settings to be used (you can just use stock settings now.)
- Pieces include cut-out racing lines which allow other colored filament to be pressed in to mimic road lines. You can also just press same color filament in place if solid color is desired
- Track Clips can now be used to clip Entry to Twist and the twist can be clipped to the track in the 2025 Straight Track Listing Update.
- Step Connector and Step Connector Double has been included to allow connection to other/previous track types.
- TrackClip-RemovalTool has been added to help remove TrackClips
- Please Use Mirror on X plane on Entry Long and Short to create Exit pieces also to create alternate twist direction.
Included:
- Entry and Exit stl files
- 15, 30, 45 modular turn stl files
- 40mm and 60mm track connector stl files
- Track Clip stl file (no zip ties required)
- Ridgeless versions of the Mod180 track pieces (ridges work better in my experience but everyone has different needs.)
- 15, 30 and 45 R300 pieces to further customize turns
