Description
This is a simple mechanical start gate for HotWheels / Diecast 1/64 cars. Designed by PlayRobotics.
This gate is really simple to print and assemble. In addition to the printed parts you will only need two M3 screws (20mm & 12mm long).
The assembly process is shown in the photos , support is not needed when printing.
The gate can be used with regular HotWheels orange tracks.
The start line should of course be higher than the finish line, so place the start gate on a box or something similar. If you are building some kind of construction for your race track, the start gate can be mounted with screws (last photo).
