Kim, A couple of years ago I played around with the idea of producing and selling magracing track. I was thinking of making sections of track, perhaps as small as the plastic slot car track sold by Scalextric or Carrera, but probably larger. I decided that the best baseboard material available then ...

Hello Kim, I assume that you are gluing 2mm cork onto MDF board so as to avoid breaking your router bits, when cutting the slot for the guide wire. Where I live there is a much less expensive way to build the track when both time and materials are considered. Instead of gluing cork onto MDF, elimina...

Why no tire on one front wheel?

What kind of material are you trying to cut? The bit would not likely break if you were workling with Polyisocyanurate Foam Board Insulation or Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) Foam Board Insulation. Polyisocyanurate is quite rigid and very light weight. With the appropriate facing material, better than X...

Wes, you have an interesting idea there. I suspect you are using it with your 1/24 scale cars. As I understand it, the front edge of the bottom plate of the frontend suspension assembly is mounted with 2 screws to the back edge of the front bumper plate, which is 1.5mm thick and which is attached to...

My outdoor track has many bumps and 2 banked tight corners. Unless some provision is made to prevent it, with a stiff rigid chassis, when one front wheel rises off the road surface, the other does too. This might happen when a front wheel goes over a grain of sand or seed. It always happens when goi...

I use different front stub axles depending on the wheels I'm going to use to build a car. If I'm using front wheels I got from Wes, I use the stub axles that came with those wheels. Most of the cars I’ve built during the past 4 years have been converted 1/32 slot cars. Most of the time I’ve used the...

Beware! It looks like AliExpress might be selling 2 different DasMikro products with the same model number, Das87. One called DasMikro Das87 for flysky Nano 7CH Receiver Integrated 2 Seperated Bi-directional ESC https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000891576954.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.2afc4c4dKHQBLE ...

The Mag1 and Mag2 nomenclature seems good to me. Looking forward to Mag3. I did some research concerning the relationship between the input voltage to a DC motor and the output shaft speed. Apparently for a fixed load, the shaft speed is proportional to the applied voltage. That suggests that the ad...

Kim, I assume that Mag 1 refers to the configuration of the 10440 battery, electronics, motor, and gearing, of the original magracer sold by Wes. This combo has more than enough power for a 1/32 car. What does Mag 2 refer to? Apparently the voltage at the motor is 0.1 volts less using the DasMikro D...
