Re: 1/24 scale overview.

Hi Jim, I did type a reply last night but unfortunately it timed out while drinking my cocoa! I see Kim has helpfully responded. The problems for me have been mainly twofold. Firstly I had a very enjoyable career/ hobby with slot cars and then as the uk's first r/c race car manufacturer. R/c cars we...

Re: 1/24 scale overview.

Hi KIm, I started in business many years ago in Vac. forming. A friend and myself built a machine with a 1.5m x 1.2m platen. Made all sorts of things including fish ponds, paddling pools, aircraft cabin trim panels, etc. When I moved into model cars, I made a smaller machine more suitable for 1/8 ca...

1/24 scale overview.

For most of last year I was busy developing and productionising a1/24 scale car. The reason for the change from 1/32 was mostly because many stock 2.4g radio components, receivers, servos etc., but particularly the JST connectors, would not fit into the smaller car without hard wiring everything and...

Re: Cars : Which cars do you want to see produced.

When I resumed my interest and started on 24ghz cars, I had to remake body moulds(and vac, forming machine!) and got as far as remaking the Porsche 908 and Ferrari 312 in 1/32 scale. I don't have stock of these but perhaps could be persuaded to make a few. Still have decals also. Also I have both th...

Re: Your status(on MAgracing) and NO 1 wish for MagRacing future.

Hi Kim, A stock of motors was the one item I did retain after selling Magracing. I am using these same motors in my 1/24 scale cars and, surprisingly, the cars are, in my opinion, quite fast enough. This is probably due to the larger radius turns allowing greater speed into the straights and therefo...

Re: Anyone wanna take over the fora?

Many thanks for your efforts Keld. Disappointing that nothing has come of it yet. Except that most people seem to have had a lot of enjoyment from Magracing so things can't be all bad. Hard to know what exactly is the problem but at the moment it is lack of availability of everything needed to race....

Lapcounter progress

DSCF0917.JPG When I first experimented with a lap counter some time ago, all seemed fine but this time I have had more problems. The 5v counters which I used initially were no longer available and the higher voltage ones I did get seemed less reliable. The main problem was getting a double count ea...

Re: Latest News from Magnetic Racing

Hi Ken, Good to hear of your continued interest. I can't offer much advice re. old cars as all mine are now converted to 2.4g but I do have some motor pinions if that will help. If you can confirm your address, I will send them. Regards Wes
