Re: Compatible Body shell list

I have just completed a new car. Its a Team Slot bodyshell Renault 5 with the rally Diac livery. It fits on our soon to be released adjustable saloon car chassis. The front wheel arches are very tight on this one, so I completed the rear body mount first, then adjusted the chassis whelbase to get th...

Re: Where to buy cars/kits?

The only two transmitters I can confirm will work are the Flysky FS-GT2B and Flysky FS-GT3C as these are the only ones I have. I have had a look at the protocol and it seems the newer 2A protocol is only different in the use of extra filtering on the signal. The data packets and frequency shifting a...

Re: Hi from france with an idea. Is it possible?

Hello Yes I think this a possibility. I wouldn't worry too much about the reduced magnetic force if you need the wire a little lower as you can experiment with larger diameter wire or a plate mounted vertically as this would increase the magnetic force where you need it. It may even be possible to u...

Re: 2.4ghz cars

@Ned Thank you for your kind words. I didn't mean to upset the happy community. I am sorry if i came across a bit terse but recently with our MDF buildings we have experienced someone directly copying our designs (quite poorly) and I was concerned that this might be going the same way. Thank you for...

Re: 2.4ghz cars

Hello Ned I would encourage you to develop the magracing system further, However I would ask you kindly not to copy the designs of our chassis and then sell them directly on shapeways. You have clearly taken our method of steering control and copied it. I really don't mind if anyone has a look at ou...
