axman Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Hey Espix, A few of us that fly interstate with wooden slot boxes stick them in a suitcase and then pack the clothes around the slot box to protect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooksy Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 For the Sideways Gp. 5 Class, are we allowed to use an aftermarket Slot It Pinion. In particular the ergal gears? so long as it is still 11T 6.5mm Anglewinder/Sidewinder Gear? I don't think there were any problems with this last year. Also can we use any screws for the motor pods and body posts? GEARS: 1.Original Slot.It YELLOW 28T anglewinder gear. 2.Original Slot.It 11T pinion. .....Looks like only the original Slot.it pinions can be used, no aftermarket. Screws should be "any"....... Thanks for clarifying Werner. How do the frequent flyers transport their cars and equipment? My race box is made of wood, and is to large to be carry on, and wouldn't survive the trip as check in luggage. I'm flying with Virgin. They have 23kg luggage allowance. Slot Car tool box and clothes go into one big suitcase underneath. Slot Cars and Controller go carry on with me. Heads up, you might get a few weird looks when it goes through the X-ray machine.

Camber Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Just landed from Queensland with my slot cars, expect them to be inspected every time. They weren't happy with the gaffer tape in my box, apparently you can tie people up with it. Quote Hoo Roo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulthetexan Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Hi Brett Most of the guys that travel have metal cases that you can buy from bunnings for $25 or so. The trick is to buy 2 of them and take the lids off. Then join the 2 bottoms together for your cars and contrller and join the 2 lids together to make a tool box for your tools and parts. One of the guys (Paul NZ) up here was making them a while back but has dropped out of slotcars for a while. $50 and a few rivets, can't be too hard for a talented guy like yourself. Scoll down this page until you get to Jazzbell's box. He managed to squeeze 18 cars and a controller in easily enough. http://www.auslot.co...14/page__st__80 Hope this helps Edited April 20, 2016 by paulthetexan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espsix Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I've started the build of my second SlotWorx V8 and I've noticed what might be a issue for me. My chassis has a H plate that is a true H. Yet in the rules, http://www.auslot.com/forums/index.php?/topic/19251-regulations-124-slotworx-v8/page__fromsearch__1 it states that only chassis components pictured can be used, and the H plate is more of an X. Where do I get the correct part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camber Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) PM me your address and I'll send one to you. Yours is the 1st batch I made, I'll also include the motor bracket for the other end of the motor.

redracer Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 2 weeks and 2 days until Track will be prepared ready for MCN 2016. Our scene and shop has been struggling this year, apologies for being so absent. We have always wanted an MCN in QLD, and a venue to host. The track and shop will provide a great weekend of racing. Garry Johnson will keep the race program solid with his skills. Werner Wittsack will knock out the tech checks. Bare in mind though we are very low on stock for racing needs. Please think ahead for parts and bring with We can cover Plafit supplies locally. Armchair Racer for Slot.it and Sideways, Thunderbird Raceway for NSR and both these guys can help with Scalextric etc. If in Melbourne Mobile Raceways can help you out too. And if I may ask for a role call, estimate number's would be a great help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axman Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) Only a week to go... Great to see all the entries flying in for this event from the Southern states. Queenslanders, we've waited a long time for this event to come to our home state so don't miss the opportunity to race with the best scale racers in the country. Red Racer, Ace Hobbies and other patrons have all contributed so we could have a track and facility good enough to stage this event so hope to see you there.

wwwace Posted June 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 BTW are there any spare adapter plugs (controller to track) to borrow whist up there? .......Spare adapter plugs might be a bit of a problem as our locals here do not have or use them. But spare controllers should be available if that helps. Cheers Werner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
