There is a good group in the area, racing 1/32 on a routed wood track.
Search “ Shed Slot Racers”. Joe Watusi, on Face Book.
or PM “Big Den” on this Forum.
Private Group so you will have to contact them.Race most Friday nights and Saturdays once a month.

I do know the price of the Merc Transporter as I have one on Pre Order for one of our Collectors, think I will just have to make do with my 3d printed version.
-
Smooth on is available locally from Rowe Trading, but about the same price as Pinky Sil.
-
I tried a few alternatives, but none gave results as good as Pinkysil.
The Dow Conning products are great but more expensive and harder to work with.

Shellite is used often to remove built up rubber and goo from commercial tracks.
Even on club tracks it is great for getting any build up of rubber off the track surface.
It will be interesting to see one of these motors running in a club racing environment to see how they compare.

That is small capacitor to stop effecting Radio/ TV, just remove it, but may not be the only problem.

I usually just by pass the plugs with wire from the guide to motor.
Will look around the junk to see if there are any laying on the work bench.
-
The broken chassis will not make any difference when you put it back on the shelf.
They are so crap to drive, believe me I tested mine.

The problem is with the mould, the silicon had air bubbles is it, when you apply the pressure during casting it forces the resin into the air bubble holes..If you used Pinkysil it tends to set faster, than some other silicons so that air bubbles are often a problem.You can de gas the silicon under vacuum or try pouring it from about 8 or 900 mm above mould.Also mix the silicon slowly.

Car Weight
in Cars
The amount of weight is depending on a lot of things.
Voltage you are running on, grip of the track surface, grip of the tyres and the style and size of the track.
A track with larger sweeping corners usually requires less weight than a tight twisty track.
I think Kevan quote of “adding weight till the car gets slower is a great guide.”

The price of SRC has skyrocketed. Close to double of a Slot It car.
Very hard to justify that cost.
-
Track surface and amount of rubber build up vary so much from club to club, and even night to night that tyre choice becomes what works on your track on that particular race.

Never had a problem with Revo 30 and 25 shore,but the 22 s do ball up a bit once there is a lot of rubber down on our routed tracks.
-
Scaling the chassis pic it looks like the car is close to scale. Around 75/76 wheelbase and 50mm wide.
-
Gazza , looks good is that on a single sheet again like the last one?
-
Thanks for sharing Glenda’s pics, she is always busy with the phone even at club racing.

Seems ironical that it is Australian Championship, and the only race report is what Pepsi posted on Home Racing World in the US!
