munter Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hello all competitors and spectators. The cars have arrived and this morning I have set them on the infield of the Anaconda. Some cars look like they have been here before and some are new visitors. I will give them an inspection and a shake down run before the 6 minute run of glory for each car takes place. A lovely morning here today. Quote John Warren Slotcars are my preferred reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munter Posted September 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) I have given the cars a shake down run....5 to 10 laps to get a feel for each. A couple have issues that I have noted otherwise read your times and rejoice. SGS= shallow guide syndrome WGS= wobbly guide syndrome. Both of these issues lead to deslots on my track as the camber changes on a couple of corners and also there are a couple of tight ones. #60 Lister Jaguar 6.504 #8 Corvette 6.472 #64 Ferrari Dino 6.727 #98Cooper Ford 6.357 #86 Ferrari 250 6.474 #814Corvette 6.545 #18 Ferrari P2 6.547 #170 Ferrari 250LM 6.433 #168Ferrari 250 6.844 #5 Cooper Ford 6.668 #31 Talbot 7.131 body screw issues #32 Lotus 30 6.480 #54 Ferrari 250 GTO 6.270 #46 Ferrari 275 7.031 something binding #26 Alfa Romeo SS 6.896 #17 Porche 911 7.447 SGS #6 Jaguar C type 7.225 SGS #66 ferrari 250 6.739 #21 Ferrari 250 GTO 6.615 #65 Ferrari P2 7.443 WGS #19 Ferrari 250 7.787 WGS #20 Ferrari Dino 6.890 #68 Bizzarini 6.486 #111 Ferrari 250LM 6.580 #30 Ferrari 250 GTO 6.398 #27 Ferrari 250 GTO 6.498 #25 Ferrari 250 GTO 6.282 #23 Lotus 30 6.305 SGS #33 Porche 904 6.275 #15 Ferrari 275 GTB 6.797 #3 Ferrari 250LM 6.791 #9 Ferrari TR59 6.638 There are some close times here so it will be a battle for the podium.

BEEJAY7 Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) Hi John...thanks for this. Have the body screws on my 31 car pulled through or something?....I was a little concerned the resin chassis wouldn't last and I'm sure it has got distorted somehow along the competition. It was only a try-out anyway.The car was always slow with that motor...believe it or not it was the best of the bunch after I tried 6 different motors. Is there a significant straight line speed difference between the cars? Regards Alan Edited September 16, 2018 by BEEJAY7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munter Posted September 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Hi Alan Your car is a bit slower but arrived with the bodyscrews tight as this is the only option or else they fall out so I think the resin has failed slightly. I will try to remedy this before running your car. I will report further when there is more to say. Cheers John Quote John Warren Slotcars are my preferred reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEEJAY7 Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Thanks John...The use of the original resin chassis was an experiment, which obviously wasn't the best idea I ever had!....so back to the drawing board for next year.

Brumos RSR Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Thank you for the qualifying!!! The racing looks like it will be extremely close. Good Luck to all the builders. The other Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munter Posted September 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 #46 Ferrari 275 7.031 something binding.....turns out that the pod was dragging on the track as the screws were very loose and the tires are worn....after adjustments a 4 tenths improvement. #31 Talbot 7.131 body screw issues....after some tweaking of holes and a bit of fiddling a two tenths improvement but a more consistent performer. Some of these cars have had a rough ol time. Quote John Warren Slotcars are my preferred reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bov Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Hi John, Thanks for all you have done so far - trust you like your interior in the #66.... The motor seems to be going ok, but you'll note that there's quite a variety in performance of similarly spec'd motors..... But I think it's the PG tires holding the #66 back a bit - what do you think? Quote Cheers, Tony. There's only two questions: 1. What direction do you go 2. What's the Lap Record?

munter Posted September 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Hi Tony, I had another look at the car and it does run smoothly and handle well. The rear tires look well worn but not unserviceable. The pace of the car seems to be down to the motor and/or final drive ratios..... is there a ten tooth pinion on there?

Peter Gunn Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 About the motors as i have not run these cars personally , but judging by the comments and the times this year in this proxy there is something going on with motors , i bought 6 motors a little while ago from Canada and just got round to testing them, and 4 are ok not bad but 2 are a fair bit faster and one is knocking 15.384 on the RPM meter and it,s not run in properly yet, i know there can be a SLIGHT differance but not to that degree, on the tyre front Bov running yellowdogs this year but i have found not a lot of differance if any compared to PG's on Carrera track , wood might make a differance perhaps someone can tell us .

bov Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Hi John - 11/29 (2.64 :1 ratio.... ) on the #66 - so the gearing / roll-out is in the ballpark...... I probably could've done a better job of motor prep / installation...... Lessons for the second go round... Quote Cheers, Tony. There's only two questions: 1. What direction do you go 2.

munter Posted September 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 I have just finished the run for each car and my brain hurts....results to come when I collate them. I have also arranged for a guest judge for the concours, he will visit sometime in the week.

That's really close between 2nd and 6th.... and indeed between a lot of places down the totem pole..... No deslots for the #66 must mean it's consistently ..............slow.....
