LOL
So I am designing one and my track is down to 5 hairpins, but also has 6 sweepers.
Designing w/ scaley track is fun. Whil I genereally perfrer to drive the wider radius curves of a Carrera track, the varitey of Scaly in 4/ astounds me. I will post shortly once I am happy with my results...

Hey there...
Its been lots of summer activities for me... time is slim
Anyway..
Carerra curves have a CL radius (inner is 2" tighter and outer is 2" looser) of:
R1 - 12" (24"D)
R2 - 20" (40"D)
R3 - 28" (56"D)
R4 - 36" (72"D)
A R4 turn is over 6.5' in diameter and van be "paved" to 7.5' with boarders.
I agree with Bill, that while excluding perhaps some Carerra (R3 and R4) curves, plastic sectional does not really qualify in the "wide sweeping turns" category.
This could explain my some of my challanges on Scaley track....
