Nice

Hi mate it is a TD December 1949 first moth of production of the TD's it is number 291 . You can tell the difference a TD has a front and rear bumper bar also the TD has the steel 16 inch wider wheels to fit radial tyres the earler TC had 19 inch wire spoke wheels very narrow usually with cross ply tyres. Rack an pinion steering was first introduced on the TD. The TF came after the TD and the best way to pick it is the TF has the headlights molded into the bonnet rather than a seperate light as on TC's and TD,s Charlie

Usually there is always a slot car or two for Xmas this year however I went all out just bought this little baby just waiting for my vintage rego so I can take her for a spin charlie

This may be a replacement for the Arduino board which some members have reported as being problematic A couple of questions does the MPD support a race pause button and control of a power relay switch

Just wondering what others do to prepare their tyres for racing First I do not tend to glue tyres to the rims the only time I do is when the tyre expands under acceleration and the car becomes unstable. I find this is normally when the tyre is not a perfect fit for the rim or if the rubber has a low shore rating and is a soft compound 1. Silicones I just clean the dust off with water and a few drops of dishwashing liquid. Clean them whenever they pick up dust. Also find wiping them with masking tape remotes dust. 2. Rubber tyres once they are true on the rim i again clean them with masking tape. Between race meets give them a light scuff on the tyre truer just to bring up fresh rubber. When I notice the rubber going hard or showing any signs of cracking time to change tyres 3. Urethanes similar treatment that I use on rubber but I do give them a scuff on the tyre truer more often. Once I notice urethane tyres giving off red dust I tend to replace them I find rubber and urethane tyres will tolerate a little dust but silicones being silicones are magnets for dust.

Yes please

Rick I tried to read and digest your post but just way to much detail appreciate you are attempting to educate the masses but wonder if this is way to much detail and your audience just gives up and moves on

Again thanks Greg another useful product
