Default track material

Plastic rain gutter turned upside down, overlap it and screw it together. Works great, not to hard on the cars and is cheaper than wood.

I know those benefits and are some of the reasons to built something like this, but my question is basically if there is a chance to have interfernces in a building like that!

Thank you

You could try using the flat soccer domes for mostly the cormers and chalk for the straigh aways etc.

Ive raced in a building with similar amounts of metal in the cealing as some of those buildings. People did get some interference but none more than we would usually get if we had been in a different building. I dont think it would cause a problem
