slotraceshopnz 6 Report post Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) I just cracked open one of the new Group 5 BMWs by Sideways/Racer So below is what I did to bring one into the sort of tune we use for our local club racing. No wild secrets, but for some there may be some useful tips. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckwD3KIwhwE Edited February 12, 2014 by slotraceshopnz Also on Facebook & Twitter our Website Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It also meant I could do the entire process over one afternoon while I had some spare time, only limited by the time it took for the chassis bath to cool and the glue to dry on the tyres - and a bit of time for oil treatment to soak the tyres. Hah, actual work time for the tune - about 90 minutes of which at least 15 was taking pics and video time to compile the video article - about 75 minutes time to upload the video - about 30 minutes I therefor conclude that computers are a vastly greater time waster than slot cars. I must mention this to my wife - while standing at a discreet distance with an open door close by Also on Facebook & Twitter our Website Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
