Two….       [attachment=46645]       Become one.       [attachment=46646] Despite having built both of Turner Motorsports usual liveries, I couldn’t resist re-creating the split livery that they...

This really is a second golden age for slot cars. In fact, the selection and quality of the cars in 1/32 is the best ever in my opinion. I also think quality for cost, or value, is the best ever, I lo...

Finally off the bench and onto the track. I had a major meltdown when one of the mirrors went AWOL for three days.? [attachment=45418][attachment=45420][attachment=45419]

Joel’s right about the flux. The acid stuff is for soldering brass and steel for chassis building, never electrical work. My mistake in losing track of the OP. And congratulations! Mastering any aspec...

How does this perform compared to acid flux? And what kind of cleanup needed?

Have you tried turning the motors by hand? A light spray of electrical contact cleaner or a couple drops of lighter fluid on the commutator through the opening in the plastic endbell followed by hand ...

I realize the OP was a while back, but I have been using a Difalco 302 for a few years now. Absolutely wonderful. The spring on the ball bearing mounted trigger is just right for me. The adjustable po...

Full circle for me. As a pre- and early teen I’d escape to my basement track and work bench to hide from a dysfunctional family situation. When I returned to slots a few years ago it was for pure fun ...

The Lotus is coming along. The body is a work in progress to say the least. But the chassis is finished. I swapped the provided 18K motor for a Scaleauto 25K. It has a shorter shaft so the stock motor...

Munter, great minds think alike.  :thumbup:   Here is my take on rear support. [attachment=42754] A 1/16” U brace soldered in place as are the bearings.

Why? Nothing is in danger of falling off onto the track.  :thumbup:

The main split is between hobbyist brands and toy brands. Carrera and Scalextric are the major “toy” cars. A good way to start a lively discussion is to ask which “hobbyist” cars are best. NSR, Scalea...

Very slow progress on my Hypercars. Life got in the way between purchase and today, so much so that the factory liveried Scaleauto Cadillac has been out for a while now. But it was fun to try the blue...

A rag soaked with some Goo Gone next to the epoxy station helps if you’re reasonably quick to wipe up.
