I would like to give a big thank you to Graham and all the hosts. 

It’s was good to see so many different cars and tracks. 

I needed to buy a Scalextric car having not owned one for a few years. My Aston was £35 off eBay. I tried to find the widest and lowest car they did. 
I did the same as Bernie and fitted NSR’s to the back. One started to split after a few days
So changed it.. then the new one started splitting..but I needed to send it off so took the chance and sent it off to Graham.
I put about 10 grams up front.. any more didn’t make any difference.

I kept the standard guide as changing it seemed a faff.

My Class B Merc was a mix of lots of bits!
I sprayed the body shell way back at the end of 2019 ready for the 2020 National championship.. but then COVID turned up.. 
when I saw GT3 cars could run in class B I ordered a soft blue chassis for it. 
Fitted the standard spec King 21K motor and medium suspension. 
Gear ratio I think is 12/34. 
I opted for the NSR rally guide and fitted a small spring as I wasn’t sure how bumpy the tracks were going to be.
I used the standard size 17’ NSR hubs to help get the ground clearance with glued and trued NSR Supagrips on them. 
I added no weight to the chassis, I probably should of fitted the light weight interior but didn’t want to make the body illegal for the National series. 

My Class C GT40 was a mixture of my old Wales and west spec cars. I only used the white hard chassis because that’s the only one I had with the adjustable front axle grub screws. 
The GT40 used a 20K Shark 11/32. No added weight. 
I couldn’t run the standard NSR 16’ hubs on the GT40 because the boss was too wide to make the legal width, so opted for Slot it 16.5 drilled hubs which also helped with the ground clearance. 

All my cars had NSR tinned braid fitted. I ran this because it’s more durable.. it may be a few tenths slower but doesn’t twist as much. 


The weekends were fun when the results started coming in. I also enjoyed running stage 4. 

Looking forward to the next proxy.

Cheers
