Oct. 5th. 2013, kick off race of the new 2014 season. The Sportsman class is the points class for half of the season. This was a good race, these cars are fun and simple. Bob N. starts off leading the points chase with a win in his very fast '49 Ford.
Bill was racing a Matador, a first for the brand!
To check on points: go to the News page.
Bob Nak's nice looking and winning '49 Ford.

Another good race out of the GT3 class. What is up with the Pro Slot motors? Bob N. has burned up two or three of them even though they were new, I had a new motor in this race and toward the last 5 laps, it slowed considerably. It was a new motor and very fast, it never smoked or smelled like it was burning up. It never stopped running, just slowed to kind of a crawl! I'll have to tear it apart to see what happened as I couldn't see where the damage was with the motor still in the car.

Of course there is not much to report until the 2016 season. But none the less here is the page. I almost have one complete except for paint, Beau is close to finishing one also.

This project sat on my bench for quite some time. The problem was that 1+inch rear wheels didn't fit well and the car ran poorly with them. After looking at the Tifosi chassis, I noticed that there were two sets shims that determined the wheel height. I removed one set of shims and viola - The wheels still look "scale" and the car looks and runs much better. Here are couple of images. To see more images click on the photo section of the Electron Raceway Group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ElectronRaceway/ and then look at the album entitled Rich's Cars. (you must be a member to look at this section - it takes only a few minutes to join!)
