Maybe it comes fully assembled? That would be a HUGE improvement over the Scholer which came disassembled with the instructions written in German only!

Fellow racers; this is a Sloting Plus chassis # SP800001. This chassis is a direct copy of the Scholer. It has been added to the rules to run with the Scholer chassis. It is made of stainless steel and from what I can see it has an improved motor mount and air vents for the motor. These are available at Professor Motor and I am going to make an order. If you want one ( $49.95 ) let me know today at the race or by Sunday the 11th. I am in a hurry to order these as one racer needs it right away.
See ya.
Howie.

Re: Heads up everyone, I'm Ebayin' again! (3 replies, posted in Ebay)
I listed some cars and a Slot.it controller for Bryan Dickerson on Ebay tonight. Check out what he's got for sale. If there is something you're interested in you can save the shipping charge by picking it up. Plus you might be able to dicker with him on the price?

Re: On the Horizon (60 replies, posted in Too Bad Motorplex)
I was an HO enthusiast when I was a kid. My first set was a Gilbert 1/32 set which I loved. Then my Dad took me over to one of his friend's hosues and that guy's kids had a huge Aurora HO Thunderjet set up. Well, that was it! The next Christmas I turned HO!!! I still have a couple of my original cars.

Re: On the Horizon (60 replies, posted in Too Bad Motorplex)
Very cool stuff John!
Nice job on the GT40 roadster windshield buck!
I believe that Morgan body was a Pactra release. I've seen that chassis before, I believe it was one of the kit chassis you could in the 60's.

Re: On the Horizon (60 replies, posted in Too Bad Motorplex)
That's a good question Goose. I actually used my old Professor Motor controller with the thumb screw adjusters for testing. That controller is actually for 1/24 cars. We should probably do some more testing. With two people we can watch the amp meter while the other person runs a car to see how much amperage they draw at 10 volts.
Maybe if the new style electronic controllers we currently use are not suitable for these cars we could use old style wound resistor type controllers. That actually maybe fun! We could all use old style thumb plunger controllers!!!

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,165 replies, posted in NASTE)
We brought in the new year on this odd Thursday night with some exciting racing action! Eight of us started 2015 with three rounds of slot car racing. Bryan Dickerson scored his second Odd Thursday win in the GT Class. Greg Petrolati came home the winner in the Trans Am Class, with Bryan Trachsel second, new comer Jeff Fields placing third, and Dennis Hart in fourth. The BRM race was a typical BRM barn burner, and I do believe I (Bill) scored the most nerfs!
Here's the results:
Trans Am Class:
1st Greg Petrolati 51.1 laps
2nd Bryan Trachsel 50.2
3rd Jeff Fields 50.1
4th Bill Bostic 49.4
5th Terry Abbott 49.0
6th Bryan Dickerson 48.9

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,165 replies, posted in NASTE)
Last one to roll off the bench. My race winning Scalextric vintage F1 Eagle went to a new owner. I had such good luck with that car I decided to pick up another Eagle to replace it. With this one I decided to add some decals to the body so I could tell it apart from the other popular Eagle entries. This one, like my first one, got some additional lead weight and Luf's rear tires.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,165 replies, posted in NASTE)
So, I haven't totally given up on a box stock entry for our Vintage Trans Am Class. This is my Scalextric '70 Camaro entry. The body went through the paint stripping process, and then I added some decals to set it apart from other entries. The running gear is TOTALLY stock except for the Paul Gage urethane rear tires. We'll see how it performs....

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,165 replies, posted in NASTE)
Next to leave the bench was my Scalextric Trans Am Camaro. This is my number 9 car. I have temporarily given up on my number 6 car that I was trying to keep mostly stock, with just a rear tire change. Although the car worked fairly well, the stock Scalextric rear wheels were just not up to the task. I first stripped, then broke 3 rear wheels! The number 9 car has updated Slot.it gears, rear axle, and wheels. While I had it on the bench I made some rear wheel inserts for it out of the ones I broke on the number 6 car.
