    Mounties Speedway

    finished off one of the marshall post & garden,,,,, got my mother to give me a hand with painting the figures/marshalls... thanks mum. not bad for a couple of cheap items from the bay... And should have this area knocked over within a few months
  2. are these orig. or repaints??........... & if repaints,, are they recent........ ................. & hey,, weren't you hangin up the brushes due to poor eye sight...........or am I confused............... & damn they look good..... nice finnish.
  3. track looks totally different without the infields/scenery........ elalavations look good,,, fast or challenging ??.... hope to get an invite when this is up & running.
  4. I guess this will justify your wife's movie .... "they come in pairs"
  5. Happy Birthday,,,,, enjoy reading your threads....... so have a good one & many more to come.
  6. Hi Porkchop ..... I had a crack at Nitro RC's in one of my many my absence's from sloting........ biggest pain in my rectum.....car would run fine @ home,, but come race night @ Penrith,, car would stall on the furthest corner & couldn't get it started to have a decent run till the next race,,,,, & it would happen again,, & again , ,& again :angry: :angry: ...& now back in to the 1/32 slotcars .. & spending ,, & spending ,, & spending
  7. hi Superyob..... it's hard to guage the results your after or expecting without knowing knowing the type of track your running on or if your running magnets or nonmag.,,, or if your after tips for club racing.............. As for treating tires / WD40 I myself stay away from this..... as it deteriorates tires quicker........ Sometimes a clean racing surface(wipe with damp rag to remove dust) ,,& clean tires, with give good results.. & for the tires with tread or no tread....... a lot of variables come into play here.... tread.... can sometimes help on an abrasive track,,though will be eventually lost due to wear ......which brings you back to slicks... Slicks.... is what majority off tires are..... Mjk's come as slicks,, might also need to be trued....... & sometimes a smaller Dia. tyre/ trued will be beneficial with the lower centre of gravity/ lowered car... Treatment..I know you can treat rubber tires......but can not treat Mjk's or urethane tires..... not that I know of anyway.. Best treatment for "grip" I know & trust are......... trued or scrubbed tires............ clean / dust free surface & tires..........
  8. for me,, the old rule... "if it ain't broke, don't fix"... applies to me real hard....... especially when I think I'm being clever .
  9. Another remedy I stumbled on once (& haven't done again cause I forgot all about it till now is the end of axle can have a bad bur from being guilitined/cut..... I removed a wobbly wheel,,,, saw this prob. & smoothed the end edges of the axles,,,, & simply refitted the wheels...& they had rectified themselves.......... could've been just luck.... though I should do this to all my cars when playing
  10. cheers.. was just interested in how they keep the car on par with every attempt...... good luck in retaining the chapionship.
  11. so how is the comp. run?....... is it the best lap of a given time on the track.. or is it time taken to complete distance.. orsit 2up knock out..... & how are track conditions regulated or are they? are new braids & tyres given & trued with each contestant?

    3 Blowers ??? Wtf

    I did read it as humor,,,, but ( for the minute ) I was thinking if top blowers could push through the lower, if ceased....

    3 Blowers ??? Wtf

    ha yeah,, wishful thinking......... but aren't they sealed units, if the rotors don't turn,no air passes......... & on that note,,you'd hate for the first blower to let go,,sending parts & bits into the 2nd& 3rd.... surely the 3 blowers must be a show off only,,,, that being the 3rd/closest to the motor being opperational & the 1st & 2nd being empty cases for looks only...... filters maybe

    3 Blowers ??? Wtf

    I reckon kudos if he's achieved what his after.... but what I don't understand is what results you'd get with 3 blowers bolted on top of each other/ 1st blowing into the 2nd then into the 3rd then distributed among the 8 cylinders............... not like a 16 cylinder/ 2 inline 8's diesel motor (generator) i once worked with,, which had 4 blowers.... though these were all bolted on top of motor...... 1blower over 4 cylinders..
  15. just watch'n a hot rod programe,,,,, & i'll amit that I know nuff'n bout motors or cars... but what does 3 blowers a top of each other serve apart from living out the childhood dream.......... car was nice.... motor was huge..... but seriously... can 3 blowers serve a practical purpose??
  16. they've got revolving doors at a local cub ( ST Johns ),,, & each side a button to slow the pace down to less than crawling pace,,,,, very funny to trap people in these to get ahead in the que
  17. I guess pointless hacking is today's rebelious art such as the graffiti that defaced & wasted monies of the 80's,,90's & the 2000's
  18. happy birthday Jimmi,,,,,, I'm wishing you heaps of good luck today,,, so you'll have some left over for the cup tomorrow,,, (knowing that you'll throw some on the "Brown Panther" being owned by a prev. Panther player)..... (& I will too) ............ so HAPPY BIRTHDAY & the BEST OF LUCK..... & MORE
  19. oooh...might be a clue to who did it...disgruntled track guest be funny if the hacker had the same user name on a slot forum ............................ "Doh"
  20. I'm thinking............. Anon/ (anonimous) - ghost.... so they hacked the site,,,,but did they change the track polarity.... :lol: :lol:
  21. 1st Q.. are black dots open for trade ? 2nd Q.. if a member is warned,,, say 3 times... are there precedures in place that are irreversable,,, & can they be over redid? like FB,,, I like to label a lot of content as offensive or not appropriate just for a laugh ... 3rd Q.. like an advert saw,, do the moderators know when i'm looking up porn?.... cause if they do,, obviously don't incur a warning
  22. nah,,,, lot of doof doof from the miller area...... High reving 4 cylinders from the cabra/bonnyrigg area..... & in between,, just the noise of break ups & make ups whilst walking too & from the pub........even my dog has given up on barking at the passing people
