Re: Buying parts

Hi Rcjohny, The batteries you need are 3.7v Lithium-ion and I have only been able to find them on line from China. If you contact Wes, he can help you with track parts etc.

Re: My third track

I would agree with many of the comments. When I tried increased traction with the rubber glove tires (front and rear) it got the attention of many of the slot racers and seemed to help the most. Many think they are just to slow, I had many negative comments when we first started with only tape on th...

Re: Where to buy battery and charger

Well a lesson learned again in life. Don't buy the cheap product... After much confusion and concern please do not buy the batteries and chargers from Green Force Cells on E bay. It looks like more than 3/4's of the batteries bought from them have failed. The symptom is after being charged up (green...

Re: Runnig outdoors?

Hi Martin, Welcome to the forum. For some reason I missed your post earlier. Hmm, cast concrete would be interesting. I'm still working on a prototype modular track, I should have something to post soon. I have seen the BLST tracks they look very cool, how do you like it?

Re: Sauber Mercedes C9

I like the Sauber very much Wes, is there any chance of running mates? Maybe clear rather than white plastic? That reminds me Wes, what is the type of plastic that you are using for the bodies?

Re: Hard bodies with 3" wheelbase

Still puttering with these, they are getting closer to being done. The Jag's wheelbase is 3" but the Ferrari's has been adjusted a bit shorter. I made the wheel wells a bit smaller on it.

Re: Modular tracks

That banked corner is cool Lasp! Can we see a video of it running please! Yes I was wondering about the corners Raudi, at 3.5" or about 89 mm we were having some rubbing but the cars ran well and only seemed to push the car off line and you could pass.

Thanks for the input, Paul

Re: Modular tracks

I've been working on some modular track pieces and need some advice please. I've decided to go with 3' x 3' or 3' x 4' that will fit in the back seat of the car. I tried 4" lane spacing and found it to wide, then tried 3.5" and it worked fine (a little more rubbing), what do you think of 1...

Re: Modular tracks

Excellent Lasp! Are they interchangeable? If you take the straights out do the lanes match up to make a circle? I am having trouble with my design. One of the local fellows reminded me that the 1 meter squares that I wanted to make won't fit in my Toyota Corolla! That's one thing I want is to be abl...
