One of which was last night

Changes from the standard kit:
- NSR rears (pre-Evo Supergrips which need lots of treating to give sufficient grip, pre-Evo Ultragrips are best on our track but not made now)
- Sleeved front axle with independent rotating wheels and hard coated front tyres
- Ballast
- Taped underneath
With all the springs and adjustments available on the pod the car feels mushy to race on a wood track, the effects of which diminished slightly with a sizeable square of tape under the chassis that reaches right across the chassis and bottom of the sills.
You have to get a bit silly with the controller to get this to deslot, it's great to drive but never going to scare a race prepped Mosler.
I'd not raced this car before, had a few practice sessions with it then put it on the shelf to be worked on...this never happened so raced it in a handicap event based on every cars best hot lap on our tracks slow lane...these events always favour the most consistent cars rather than the fastest and last night this was not only one of the quickest cars but most consistent and won the handicap event.
I still want to improve it's capability, reduce the mushy handling, fit a pair of rear tyres that don't need so much treating and maybe even hydrodip the all white body (all the bits stuck to the body put me off though).
Bring on the next 'Italian Cars' night in 2024...
Life is like a box of Slot cars...
