slotraceshopnz Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow_rusty Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Very nice video there... Would bracing the original pod give similar results to the Slot-It one?

slotraceshopnz Posted February 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hi Rusty yeah it would of course, I have done two Sideways cars that way myself; but for a basic setup tutorial I wanted this one to be straight-forward for those who prefer a simple parts-and-screws-swap, and might not readily take to cutting brass rod or piano wire and gluing in place. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
