Lockdown 2020 - WHO Racing Show & Tell - woodcote - 28th-Mar-20

[attachment=6004]

At the moment, all WHO events for April and May have been cancelled. In mid-May we will make a decision about the June and July races. In the meantime, I'm sure the priority for most of us is to keep ourselves, our families and our communities safe. Some WHO racers are also front-line NHS staff or other essential workers - so massive support and thanks go to them.

This forum is a great place to share any lockdown slot car projects and have some chat around the cancelled dates - posting pictures of the cars we were planning to race, asking questions about set-up or whatever... Plus there's plenty of superb info and resources out on the wider SlotRacer Online website and forum. Make the most of it - we'll be back in the hustle and bustle of normal life before too long.

So does that chip install have a remote IR LED?

Sure does......zoom in and you can just see it under the brass front axle tube next to the lefthand red guide wire.....

Thank you sir.

I tried to do a remote LED install, but I was a bit lost what to do with the black 'tubing'. I just loosely pushed two sections over the bare wires. Have you done anything more than that?

RE: Lockdown 2020 - WHO Racing Show & Tell - mikefi - 4th-Apr-20

Tubing is...shrink tube...little bit of heat on it and it shrinks to form insulation of bare wires...

Use the side of your soldering iron and rub along tubing it will shrink....

Not to much heat though....otherwise it will burn or desolder your joint!...
