Certainly looks different....Probably too many options for me in the long run, but time will tell....Main problem is that I can't see an easy way at looking up "latest posts" the easy option, i.e the link, seems to have been removed. Regards Alan

Our Club rules state that chassis/running gear must be standard apart from glue/true tyres and add weight to suit. Some do add some don't. I suggest stripping them when you get them to make sure chassis is flat. Regards Alan

This is our third season of racing these cars, great close, fast competition. I'm still on my original Williams Bodyshell, although others are on their second. Some of our guys use Betta lexan shells as a cheaper replacement for the Nono's

Very Nice Cars......Have a "thing" for CanAm cars, just finished a few. Still around Mark.... Regards Alan

I will ask the guy who has all the stock mentioned above, (and whole lot more besides, original threaded axles, wheels, insets, tyres.), if I can PM his email address to anyone interested in contacting him. The 3d chassis mention is by JS and they worked very closely with members of our Club to develop chassis to suit these cars, (plus many others) I used them to update the Scalextric Formula Junior range , (the same chassis fits all the Super shells single seaters, and they customised one for me to fit the Supershells Porsche 906. Not sure if it is allowed or not on this site but I can paste a link to the JS Facebook site where you can see these completed cars. Regards Alan PS for your information we can build these cars for ourselves with JS Chassis and all new parts from a main dealer comprising 25K FF motor, Slot.it gears/axles, Scaleauto guide with NSR racing braid for around the £40 UKP or we can build with JS plus original parts for around the £25/30 UKP.

We race the Nono f1's as a class at our Club and they offer very fast and very close racing. We race on wood and the cars are 100% standard. The lexan bodies are very resilient to high speed impacts. We love this class. Regards Alan

Happy Birthday John and please keep on producing these great shells, your work is always admired from afar:- Regards Alan

Merry Christmas Alexis and to all IPS'ers everywhere. Alan

Our club has banned them because of the colour...we don't want to go back to the old days of orange spongies. Alan

Thanks John...The use of the original resin chassis was an experiment, which obviously wasn't the best idea I ever had!....so back to the drawing board for next year.

Hi John...thanks for this. Have the body screws on my 31 car pulled through or something?....I was a little concerned the resin chassis wouldn't last and I'm sure it has got distorted somehow along the competition. It was only a try-out anyway.The car was always slow with that motor...believe it or not it was the best of the bunch after I tried 6 different motors. Is there a significant straight line speed difference between the cars? Regards Alan

Tend to agree that most Forums are going through a sticky period at the moment, what with Facebook and the Photobucket fiasco, but there are Forums who appear to be thriving. One example is Harry's Home Racing World....the format they are using in the US put other US based Forums to shame. Perhaps this is the way forward?. Regards Alan (No connection with running any Forum!)

Happened to me on safari on my Mac changed to Chrome still the same (slightly different message). Altered settings in Chrome now OK. Alan

They look fantastic...my only concern is the motor, which needs testing against it's peers. I have one on order to try out. Regards Alan

You really should sell these. Really neat piece of kit and so very useful. My only suggestion would be to have a series of removable inserts of varying thickness to suit differing competition Rules, i.e 1mm, 1.5mm or 2mm. That would be rally useful... Regards Alan Even worth the postage to the UK....
