The Slotcar Outhouse

It was almost 40 degrees c here Yesterday. Over the ton in farenheight.

I think these cars from Ostorero are the ducks guts.

The currently available lotus 79 JPS car looks fantastic.

Unforunately they are way out of my reach as far as price is concerned.

Hi Coldshooter,
I like the way youve thought about the Bee Em.
good to see yet another fan of "less is more" scenario.

Jordan's right on the money with the BWA F can conversions too.

Drivability is everything unless Youre a drag racer.

Regards Ted

Check for endfloat inthe rear axle, fly classics are notorious for it, (like really bad) pop off one or both rims whatever is required and shim it with 3/32 washers. Any weirdness from any endfloat will be magnified heaps with sticky rubber. Also another Fly classic drama is that I'd say 75% of the ...

I'm kind of keen on the full kit version at the top of the RMS page with full length driver and Big Wing.

Good luck Denny,
Theyre sold out virtually everywhere.
Although I believe there will be a second run coming, so maybe preorder one from your local SCX dealer.
If anyone knows of a secret stash somewhere I'm keen too.

Guys, Thats brilliant, thanks for the responses. I tend to try and run on less voltage anyway, especially with my classic GP cars with those F can missiles, so that might not be an issue. I dont think I'll be running a super long straight anyway. The Solar panels are an excellent idea, and so is the...

Back when I lived in Perth. I had a large games room where I had a permanent scaley sport track and I went down to the local tracks to race on Wood. Now I live in the country I have a small house and no games room. But I do have a big shed. But it's a long way from the house and not powered (to far ...

No offence taken mate.
Yes your right, no understanding in my house, they just about tolerate my hobbies.
Like you say, whatever floats your boat.

The coffee is perfectly understandable , no argument there.

Look don`t want to be the wet blanket/knocker or whatever - but when i have more time than sense i will have a go. Honestly the first thing i thought of was this guy who made a fully working scale Ferrari 312PB . I think it`s great but really !!! :roll: Then again whatever floats your boat!!!!!!!!!...

Here You Go phil. http://www.slotforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=50227 Be warned theres 7 pages of thread, apparently the car was ran first time out on a Ninco track and everyone who saw it run or who had a little drive all kept asking if it had a big magnet in it?? It doesn't. It's losing a to...

Welcome to the Outhouse Denny.
I don't think the Pioneer Javelin is out Yet. But If you can't wait, RMS Resins do a kit that fit onto a scaley Chassis, from what I hear Dave Reinecke's Bodies are top Notch and very easy to get along with.

I dont know if anyone else has been following the thread overseas on S/F, about the guy who turned an old scaley brabham into a replica of the "once only raced" 1978 Brabham fan car, with operating fan and skirts. Well the guy gave it it's first run, theres a video up and a few blokes test...

Hey DM, I bet your about as far away from Perth as You can get without leaving the country?

If not, I'd be keen. I'm Looking for a routed track thats not too big. Too lazy to make my own.

In closing to leave you all with this pleasant thought. It's not just socks that I'm not sitting on here without! I thought there would be a few more comments about that Track layout, but then the thread goes quiet and theres an awkward silence broken only by the sound of crickets cheeping. Geez, I...
