I have been fortunate to find someone locally with a good 3d printer and we are well on the way to printing a complete car. DSCF0784.JPG This car is an attempt to produce a car which would not need any soldering. Not sure if this is practical however as the jst connectors do take up a lot of space. ...

DSCF0716.JPG I have been impressed again by the RCR123 battery which I have been using in the 1/24 car. Despite it's larger size, it is shorter and can be fitted lengthways in the s.w.b. 1/32 cars. Having done this, I have also managed to fit a std. Flysky rx. (without case but with standard connec...

DSCF0709.JPG Hopefully here is a pic. of the larger 1/24 track, not finished scenically but fully operational. Made a few changes, extra lane change, mods to racing lines, etc. My 1/32 cars run perfectly ( with their old wheels and masking tape tyres!) with no fishtailing on the straights and bette...

Hi Fred, I guess I should have entitled this 'Modifying a track for 1/24 scale'! This entailed removing some of the crash barriers to clear the wider cars and removing bumps to try and improve the wire guidance for the larger and heavier cars. In the event, I decided that it was not going to be a su...

24 track.jpg New track is progressing well. I am not giving up on 1/32. The plan is to have 4 cars running on both tracks, have some people over and see which they prefer. The 24 track will be similar to the 1/32 but 33% longer and wider. The 2 lane track will be approx. 9.5" wide. A 6 lane sl...

2.4 track panel.jpg A purpose built 1/24 scale track is essential to develop a 1/24 car so started work yesterday. The car would just not work on the 1/32 track. The new track has 1.0mm wire and larger (+33%) radii turns. I decided to go back to grey board and using 800 microns which is slightly le...

24 track mods.jpg I had some work to do to the track before I could run the 1/24 car. Crash barriers were too close to the track and some widening on the bends was necessary. The car has the std. 4mm magnet but also foam rubber tyres front and rear. Needless to say, it did not corner or lane change...

DSCF0605.JPG The easy availability of low cost 2.4g steering wheel transmitters, receivers, micro servos, etc certainly looks the way to go for Magracing but it is a definite squeeze to get standard items into a 1/32 car without removing cases, JST connectors, etc., and doing a fair amount of trick...

IMG_8895 (640x426).jpg Plaster slot track (640x426).jpg As most will know, I do of course favour plaster tracks, much to the horror of the slot racing fraternity. I recently came across this slot track (courtesy Pinterest) with wooden slots and some form of plaster/filler surface. It looks pretty g...

Forgive me for mentioning this Ned but are you using the steering trim and rate/throw controls on your tx/controller? I find that these are the major improvement over our original controller. I have 3 cars, all tuned to one tx at present and each time I run one, the first thing is to trim the car to...
