David Carter Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) well I have managed to get some spare time to do some slot car building so I decided that the Munter resin HT Holden has stared me in the face for long enough I had a mostly set up Pioneer Mustang/Camaro chassis from a previous build sitting on the shelf it's wheel base was about 1.5-2mm to short so out came the saw [/url] [/url] used the usual stretch and rejoin method and filled the gap with JB weld and sanded smooth that was the easy part with the body sitting in place but still needing body posts fitted [/url] [/url] I will be flaring the wheel arches out a little like Norm Beechry's Monaro [/url] anyway the set up is Pioneer chassis ball race bearings front and rear slot it axles slot it spur gear with scaly pinion scaly 18k motor ninco pro-race guide slot it alloy 15x8 rear wheels slot it plastic 15x8 front wheels wheel inserts will be minilite's stay posted Edited April 26, 2019 by David Carter 1 Quote Holdens rule the rest just drool slot cars are my drug, ATCC/Bathurst proxy host NZ Grp5 proxy host.

David Carter Posted April 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 I have been working on the flared wheel arches [/url] [/url] this is the shape and size I am going for just a bit more of a tidy up which I will do once there is some primer on it Quote Holdens rule the rest just drool slot cars are my drug, ATCC/Bathurst proxy host NZ Grp5 proxy host.

difinity Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Nice. I think the munterworkx HT is a much better rendition than the one I used to build Beechey’s car for the NZ proxy... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Carter Posted April 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 How did you flare the guards out, Crockett? just the usual putty trick the flares are not very large, they are just so I can get a bit more wheel track width and I like the look that they give the rear track is 60mm and the front is 58mm Quote Holdens rule the rest just drool slot cars are my drug, ATCC/Bathurst proxy host NZ Grp5 proxy host.
