gref Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 I stumbled across this old video of a NINCO GT enduro that was held at Mobile Raceways (Mr Slotcar) in Dandenong Victoria. I cant remember it, but I took the video footage so was there Quote 2 x australian ego champion regards Shane Fulel racing in first track build --> https://youtu.be/nG1EyFkbJSs My second track build --> raceday - https://youtu.be/8WXYQ528iKM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine getting them now is impossible Quote 2 x australian ego champion regards Shane Fulel racing in first track build --> https://youtu.be/nG1EyFkbJSs My second track build --> raceday - https://youtu.be/8WXYQ528iKM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gref Posted December 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 This was my start gantry with start lights and led's. I had to cut the cable for the start lights as it was wired through the track. I cant find the end that plugs into the box. I think there are 4 wires in it. track and pit sensor cables all there the control box, no idea what plugged in to these stereo jacks? I presume to track power? cant find them Quote 2 x australian ego champion regards Shane Fulel racing in first track build --> https://youtu.be/nG1EyFkbJSs My second track build --> raceday - https://youtu.be/8WXYQ528iKM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinno Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 I will see what I can find but I think it was a 2 lane setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtpanorama Posted December 11, 2021 Report Share Posted December 11, 2021 I don't remember the Ninco Enduro but I do remember running the Slot it and NSR Enduro's at Mobile Raceway on that track. I am fairly sure the software was the commercial version of the Johnson system that was also used on the King track. The stereo plugs on the Startline box are for track power, you will need male RCA plugs if you want the software to turn the track on and off. The LED's in the gantry that light the sensors can be powered from any source, it doesn't have to come from the box. I don't know anything about the start lights, if you can't work it out you just need to put the monitor somewhere in front of the drivers so they can watch the lights on the screen.

gref Posted December 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2021 the NSR enduro was 8 hours (I think?) 4 drivers per team 15 minutes each per lane x 8? I have our team car, setup by jazzbell I spoke with Ian today to try and work it out. He is going to send me pics of the RCA connections so I can try to get it hooked up again. I dont know why but I set it up on my table in the shed. It seems to work, but keep reverting back to 2 lane for some reason?

mtpanorama Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 The races were 6 hour but yes there were 4 drivers, must have been 45 min heats with just over 11 min driving stints per driver per lane. The RCA plugs on the box probably connect to the normally open contacts on a relay, you just need to cut one of the wires going to the track and put one end on one side of the male RCA and the other end on the other side of the RCA and plug it into the box. When the software fires up and turns on the box the relays will operate and there will be power on the track. Did you ever run your old track without the software running as I wouldn't mind betting that the switches on top of the box are to bypass the relays so that you can power the track without having the computer on, I did the same thing on my track.

Yes Steve put the switches on to bypass the relays. What ever happened to Steve? I’ll have to go to jaycar and get some parts to make it all happen, it was pretty bullit proof when operational and reliable. It may have been basic but did what it needed to. I look forward to getting it running again.

mtpanorama Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 I don't know what happened to Steve, he didn't come racing for a while but he would do that occasionally, then his email stopped working and I figured if he wants to contact he he knows where I am. 1 Quote Corporate greed is driving inflation.
