Slot it 312 ferrari

Post by denny »

Does anyone know of intructions for assembling the body.Almost finnished me 312 pb .I didnt realize how small it was .I think Ive got it right just wanted to check .Few body bits left over most are so small In not going to put em on as they look very fragile.

When I'm not racing slotcars,
I'm out in the back yard, burning food!!

When I win, it's because of my talent, not my car or my controller!

This is a little rocket even running the gearing it comes with ,with only a 20K motor,still trying to tame its tailyness.Any one got any suggestions.Ninco track ,I raced with what I thought was the rubber tiers .Diabolical almost changed ends when braking into corners,Changed to what were sure are silicons after race ,got down to a good time,Less taily,Tried a little weight last night nothing noticeable .Then back to no weight and got me best time again .Its still not quite on the pace.

If your model is slewing under brakes into corners , you might need to back the brakes off a bit 'til it stops, if you have that feature on your controller.
