Early 60's Slot Car Proxy - 'Car Builds'
#11

I just spent 20 minutes testing on my little Scaley Sport track which takes about 3.5 seconds to go round and it's very quiet, very smooth and a much more pleasant car to drive than before.

Now to spend a few months racing and Rallying it to hammer out the problems.

Not quite a barn find, more of a 'I didn't know I had that' find.

Chassis first print to see what needs tweaking:

   

   

This will be a Event 3/D entry.

Mk2...

   

   

I didn't like the sidewinder setup, too noisy and not particularly quick.

This runs nicely on my little track, I'll test it on Thursday proper.

Edited to add an interesting historical background webpage about this car - https://www.ricksclassics.com/one/00-One/medallion.html
...after reading that, I like this car even more!

We have a driver with a new set of trued and glued tires.  We will see how it goes, currently there is too much side to side body movement.  



   

 Final entry.

Well…..we know it’s not brass or spring steel, not too many options after that right?

Roadrunners builds

   

I have revised ideas on my entries, originally was looking to run a Ferrari 250GTO, but as there are already others expected I am looking to make something different and this George Turner Jaguar E Type body kit should be the a good alternative.
Similarly I am looking to build this Airfix MG1100 body into a suitable small Saloon car alternative to my Thunderbird.
And finally I recently bought this George Turner King Cobra body which I think will fit a metal chassis that I have.

Given myself alot of building work to do, but hopefully they should all be assembled by the end of the year.

I didn't like the flat alloy wheels look so made a set of Minilites as seen on many a racing Camaro and this look is much better...

First test of the 'back to sidewinder' last night, I'm happy with it and don't intend changing anything.
