kalbfellp Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 (edited) Pete:The sensors are best just after the start line but remember that you may need a light source over them! I use a hard nylon roller to roll the tape down over any repairs,I think they are used for wall paper. PS looking bloody good!

phoeno29 Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 looks great slider, get some fences up before you start doing some quicker laps, its along way to the floor. And nice touch painting the slots before taping, something I always did and it will make marshalling easier.

Just to much fun :band: :clap: :clap: :clap: Cheers Slider Edited April 21, 2007 by Slider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalbfellp Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Glad that you have it running, and not off a drill battery as some one would have done! Now for a bit of tuning to the cars using the "routed tuning kit you got" . You will never keep the guys away now. Jabob: I am at Old Beach but we race at different track around Hobart.
