Pedro51 Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 I am having a busy spell, so comments are a little late. Thanks for opening the track Mac, always a pleasure to come and savour slotdogs. Thanks as always to race catering. A pity there were a few “racers” missing, but I will enjoy my podiums in their absence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munter Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Isn't there a rule that says the rear wheels/tires have to be of a larger diameter than the front? Quote John Warren Slotcars are my preferred reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slotmadmac Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Good point but that set up doesn't work on these bad boys - and ultragrips to fit the stock wheels don't come high enough. Anyway, my car goes so fast you can't notice the details. Stay afraid. Quote Podiums are for short people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlotsNZ Posted May 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Good Peter, I was going to ask if you would be hosting. I won't be there, as I head to Nelson Thursday for the NSR Classic, but I will host next week.

Capri-corn7 Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Hi Peter I can make this week. As for classes we aren't really following a roster at present so pick three that suit you. Most of mine need work any way so be a good excuse to get some shed time. Quote They are only toys .... until you pull the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlotsNZ Posted May 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 As for classes we aren't really following a roster at present so pick three that suit you. Actually we have been until last week Pat. Trying to make it consistent for the new guys buying their cars. Hey some of you may have seen the tyre softening jig that "Slotcartel" on SFI forum has been 3d Printing. I have bought a few of them to get a bit of freight economy. A couple spoken for, I have 3 left for anyone in club who wants one. $25 raw printed plates with screws as in the top picture, $40 with a pod and motor added. You will also need a few other stoppers, axle etc to complete. I think they do need a bit of filing the 2nd axle mount so the bearing sits square, but nothing too onerous. The one I have set up for myself, I think I will convert to rubber band tension rather than locking down the sliding plate with wingnuts Rod, I have one reserved for you 1 Quote Recovering Lapsed Slot Addict * Custodian of many used screws (mostly loose ) * Total kidder * Companion of other delusional slot addicts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
