My latest Ebay finds: Scalextric Lister LMP, unusual street car Scalextric Camaro with working headlights and modified Fly BMW 3 series. I haven't fired up the track and ran any of them yet. I've been busy tearing down an old dog kennel in the back yard and building a shed. I did manage to scratch my arm and leg on the rusty rabbit wire and have to go get a tetanus shot. :-(

Much thanks to Bob and Howie for hosting and organizing the series.  I took some weight out of my car and lowered the body for yesterday’s race because I thought the extra weight was slowing me down after Howie’s race but I may need a gear ratio change after yesterday’s results. Thanks again for a fun series.

Thanks to Howie for hosting today’s race, always a good time at Rapid Raceway.  My car was too heavy to be truly competitive, but I am reasonably happy it lasted the entire event.

Regards
Rico

I got one the day they came out, may have to actually put it in the track at some point.


That seems rather violent, wouldn’t it be much easier to put it ON the track instead of in it.

I've been slowly working on this, but my soldering skills are poor at best and it has been a bit of a struggle. If it runs decently, I'm thinking of entering the Summer Shootout proxy just for fun.

It was soooo good to get out and race again. Thanks Howie. I think we were all quite rusty in our driving abilities, but still had a great time

It does have BOSA tires and as stated previously I have some even wider ones but what I don’t have is narrower ones. I had no idea but Mitch is correct. NSR does indeed make tires to fit https://www.professormotor.com/product-p/nsr5245.htm
In both super and ultra grip
