He does have an odd system. If you are willing to paint the body yourself and put the stickers on try this. Under F in his links and look for this Frd Flcon - McLeod Frd - John Goss - 1974 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slotmadmac Posted March 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 I am always working on cars when I get the chance - mainly for mates around the country. I must have built up 50-80 over the last 12 months. Maybe more. I haven’t been recording them but might start now. The ex phone image upload makes it simple to put up photos now. Here is a sweet Spirit Porsche 936 I did after work/before racing yesterday. Kept the 18k motor but full aftermarket rebuild otherwise. Such a nice driver. Heading off to a new owner on Monday. 1 Quote Podiums are for short people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slotmadmac Posted March 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 I was asked by a mate to build him a car to compete in their local club ‘open’ BTTC class - 18k motor max. I came up with this, this morning. Spirit 406 with a torquey 17k NSR long can. New wheels and rubber all around. Motor braced to the rear bushes - to avoid that nasty shudder under braking. This thing hauls the mail. The Spirit cars are light and wide - a great car but way overpowered with the stock 25k motor they come with. Now we have a very drivable car pulls a very respectable 6.7s on my track - straight off the bench. Happy days. 1 Quote Podiums are for short people.

slotmadmac Posted April 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 After running in the motor and tyres it’s now lapping in the low 6.5s. Unreal. Quote Podiums are for short people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slotmadmac Posted April 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 Here a couple of cars off the bench today. Thunderslot Shelby and a Scalextric Falcon on an aftermarket chassis. The Thunderslot uses all stock components apart from changing the rear tyres to lower profile Thunderslot slicks. The Falcon runs an 18k Predator plus all the other go fast fruit.

slotmadmac Posted April 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 And later this afternoon I completed bringing a MG Vanquish Shadow up to full race spec. I love these high detail 1/28 Vanquish cars. I have the entire collection MIB and a few racers. I fitted this one with wide Nsr ‘Vanquish’ alloys / rubber, a Slot it rear end and a ninco long can from the parts bin to add some much needed punch on the track. Front axle was lowered and tubed. It’s a smooth and very predictable runner now - that looks mint circulating on the track. 2 Quote Podiums are for short people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slotmadmac Posted April 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 After finishing this build I am running in a Sideways BMW M6 to compete in our club GT3 series. I got this car as a body and chassis - so everything else has been added on. Converted it to sidewinder running a Slot It 23k as our rules allow. Fast and very predictable on the track. 2 Quote Podiums are for short people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slotmadmac Posted April 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 (edited) Here’s a blast from the past. I used to love the Proslot cars when I was first getting back into slot car racing. In my book they were one of the best brands in the pre-Slot It era, with their simple motor pod and nimble handling. This Porsche GT2 was this afternoon’s project - with a high torque Predator motor fitted for a friend’s local 18k class. Now sporting alloy wheels, Thunderslot rubber and NSR gears, it’s running-in on the rolling road before track testing tomorrow. Edited April 18, 2023 by slotmadmac Quote Podiums are for short people.

Vinno Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 I’ve got a couple of Proslot cars we used to race. A F355 and F360 Ferrari. Great cars and great fun to drive. We used to run them with low powered engines like Ninco NC1 and other similar motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slotmadmac Posted April 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 Today this came off the bench for our popular 18k ‘classic Scalextric’ F1 class. I’ve built dozens of cars for this class over the years, but this is my fastest one yet. Pioneer motor. Tubed front axle. Wood guide and stock Scalextric plastic pinion / crown gear / wheels as our rules allow. With a brand new motor / tyre combo this resprayed Parmalat already hits 6.7s on my track. That’s Slot It Group C territory. Happy days. 2 Quote Podiums are for short people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slotmadmac Posted May 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2023 Rebuilt this classic Scalex March yesterday. Replacement surfboard wing from The Great Munter saved the day. New rubber all round and some fresh decals. Kept the stock Johnson motor. So nostalgic driving with that softer, old school powerband. A sweet runner that’s off to a new home tomorrow.

slotmadmac Posted May 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2023 Today a MR Slotcar Shadow came off the bench. This is the car everyone’s talking about and it’s easy to see why. I wanted more bite than the stock motor so in went a Shark 25k. Air system Slot It alloys, Supergrips and new braid completed a very simple build - and this car is brilliant on the track. So stable and easy to drive fast - like a good NSR 917. Can’t wait to campaign this honey in our local 65-80 sports car class. 1 Quote Podiums are for short people.
