I hear some Italian team has won some sort of race.  

Where's Anthony, probably out celebrating.

Team Slot 
   

or 

Avant Slot?
   


I might be after one or the other.

Just thought I would share this as saw this at the club today and thought this was brilliant.  Body was completely made from paper - well photo paper so half way between paper and card.

      

Not sure how well it holds up in a crash, but certainly goes fast on the Plafit chassis it was on.

Alot of variations on a theme here free to download and build.

Having a go myself to see if I can make a half decent looking car from it.

Hello,

I really hope somebody can help me. 

I'm only moments away from buying a DS-200 and DS-106 gantry. I'm not interested in any other system yet.

What I want to know is can I remove one set of sensors from the gantry and position them 'across' the track horizontally so the counter only ever counts the one car?

I have a competition / club rally track, so only ever need to count one car. I don't mind if I have to bundle up the second set of sensors and store them in a project box. 

Please help me as I don't want to find the items I'm looking at go out of stock.

Thank you.
Rob.

This was a great race last year so this year we're doing it twice, once this week and the other in 6 months time.

We're doing things slightly differently, Classics (pre-1975) cars first, Group C & LMP cars in the second part of the evening.

Handicap racing based on your best of 5 lap qually with closest to their target score as the handicap winner.

So far, the fastest car hasn't won one of our handicap events, it's all about having a consistent and predictable car.

Will we see a return of the big Caddy 'Le Monstre'...it's been spotted recently in testing!

   

Brushless Motors have arrived in slotcar racing! In Germany you can already by a set (motor, electronics), see the pic.

   

Here is a short video of unwrapping this:

It's time to dust off the machinery. It's been too long. I need to make a new class of car (Indy-500) with a front motor drive system. The Watson Indy was a great car in it's day.

It originally started out as a static kit from AMT.

   

I found a really cool metallic orange 1:1 version on Google images.

   

The project begins with Tamiya metallic orange.

   

Clear coat next. Then the chassis. More to follow.

Cheers,
Ken
