Routing 12mm mdf / 2023 'Hobbymessen' (hobbyfaire)

Hi all. No, Magracing has not derailed. I have put some effort into the routing design for my Maslow router. I'll share the best I can.

Re: Digital slotless magnetic system (DSMS)

I tried with a small Delrin ball on the guide to keep the distance. But it was not better.

Re: Digital slotless magnetic system (DSMS)

And yes, also testing with bearing.

Re: Id4u-CH01-24-vario How much adjustment is needed ?

Ned . The 1:32 is already there. Not so slick as the 1:24. It is hard to find a good way to make the sliding attacments nd not ruin the space rquired for the receiver. So it is still WIP.

See pic.

Id4u-CH01-24-vario How much adjustment is needed ?

Hi. I'm testing out a Vario version of my 1:24 scale chassis. Woundering how large / small will it need to be to suit your bodies ? Look at the picture.

Re: Digital slotless magnetic system (DSMS)

Just a thought.
The dice magnet with 'abnormal' polarity. How about using a normal magnet turned 90 degrees so you get the polaity the way you want ?
Mayby a small square magnet is even better ?

Re: Digital slotless magnetic system (DSMS)

Just to clarify.
Nor Wes or anyone else are holding any patents any longer to Magracing.
So feel free to join and develop it further.
But that does not keep you from give credit when apropriate.
