But IL or AW only for MRSlotcar chassis.

Hi Chris, that's a very smart build!
I haven't been to that many tracks but I would say it is more of the long sweepy variety, I actually don't know the total length but I think the straight is about 3m into a long sweeper you should be able to take flat out. After that it gets a bit twisty.
I will give the policar motor a go with the hearing you suggest, nothing to lose at this point.

Our straight must be 3m or so and the Policar Classic F1's are still accelerating hard at the end of the straight, in fact 80% power is all that's needed so that motor with the right gearing (3.5:1 ish) on a wider car with a bit of ballast should fly round. In fact I may get one of those slimline SW pods and try it in my MRSlotcar Mclaren

I'm intrigued by this motor, does anyone in the UK stock it?

Not that I'm aware and I did search over the last year.

Doesn't look like it, evotec deliver to the UK, although need to order a decent amount of stuff to justify the postage.

Hello Tater06,.........if the track you posted is the one you will be running on, I would go for a 25K FC-130,.......it looks marginal for the Policar FF-050.
As far as the FF-050 shown in previous posts, at this stage they are only available from Professor Motor in the US (he ordered them to his spec.)........unlike all FF-050 motors commonly used in our little toy cars, this one has poly neo magnets, which overcome the shortcomings of most FF-050 motors currently on the market.

Thanks Chris, yes that's the track
