Wobble Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 I've got 4 of these sitting in the drawer not being used and 1 had a broken guide holder and pre 80's Lemans 18k was on the agenda for racing the other night. So I fixed the guide issue and hacked the chassis and it runs smooth and sweet. I also added some Paul Gage tyres but it's down on traction so I'd like to find something similar to NSR Ultragrips that will fit the standard hubs if anyone has any suggestions.

munter Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Looks like you have released the beast. I cut out and glued the blue Nart model and they can run well and look good too.

Pedro51 Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Interesting, mine actually is running nice, stock even with lights, apart from urethanes, I feel some cutting and fettling may me coming. I will watch for hints on what works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobble Posted August 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 The lights wouldn't fit with the change of guide and I found these I think might be the go. Plenty of 'flex' even with the screws tight. Possibly didn't need the diagonal cuts to the front magnet pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
difinity Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 So if I've got it somewhere near right - you've almost made it a motor pod with longitudinal cuts through the chassis? Mine simply has some PG XPG's. I'll need to replace the motor with one approximating brakes though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobble Posted August 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 So if I've got it somewhere near right - you've almost made it a motor pod with longitudinal cuts through the chassis? Yep, that's just the weight of the motor and axle assembly causing the sag but I think I need to glue a bit of styrene behind the axle to limit it. Also, I've left the prongs in above the rear bushes so that the body can't sag down to rub on the tyres. I'm tempted to try the same thing on another car but with the cuts directly to the holes in the magnet pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
