Also, do the magnets still work to some degree on a wood track w/ copper tape?
magnets need iron /steel not copper to get a good grip
I guess you get a little from the current field from the tape
but not alot try a test bit and see how much
so no not unless you add a plate under the wood
thin sheet steel just under the track should work

I raced the commercial tracks back in the 60's fad days
fun but cheap RC is more fun and no need for a track
any flat space will do
