Howie - Yes, I have the bag full of parts. I haven't even started on it, Bryan mentioned he wanted one, so I told him he could buy mine. I'll be on my second chassis and I haven't even put one together yet!!!!

I heard from David Naylor the other day. He said he is going to be at your place Thursday for a tuning session on the Tifosi chassis. I have signed up to race one of David's Tifosi chassis, so my Schoeler chassis will be my backup.  -----------Bill

Howie provided me with a parts list for the GT1 cars. I will be posting more information on chassis assembly, and the fabrication of the side and front brass pans as soon as I get back over to Rapid Raceway for more detailed construction photos. For now here is a partial parts list for the GT1 Class cars:

Rear 3/32 axle bearings - Professor Motor part #pmtr1000 at $9.95.

Front 3/32 axle bushings. PCH part #625 at $1.69. (Can't run bearings up front).

Guide flag & braid - no particular spec.

3/32 axles - no particular spec.

PCH, http://www.e-slotcar.com/page.home for the following parts;

Tires: Rears; #PTC-244 at $10.99 a pair. Fronts; #PTC-400 at $8.99 pair. 

Reducer bushing #S7-142. $1.98, ( this is the bushing that you will need to fit your 3/16" OD bearings into 1/4"ID chassis holes).

6 tooth 64pitch pinion gear; #8001.06 at $3.49. A good gear ratio to start with is about 6:1.

Professor Motor, www.professormotor.com for the following parts;

Chassis, Scholer#SCH1102001 at $44.95. Keep in mind that the Scholer chassis is metric and will need a little filing of the axle holes to fit the american bushings. Also a little filing of the chassis holes to fit 2/56 american bolts. Not a whole lot of filing as it is pretty close, but we are not talking hand-grenades.

Motor; ( Falcon 7 ) #JK7 at $11.95.

Gary Smith has a bunch of spur gears for sale.

Way cool stuff George!!!

So if I'm reading this correctly, the LED will be illuminated at the driver's station when power is on to the track, whether a controller is hooked up or not?

Great question George. I figure either way would have worked, but here's my thinking; first off the wheelbase for the Camaro body is longer than that of the Womp chassis, so I have to build a new front axle mount anyway.  The other consideration I had was the side pans. If I had made the center section wider I would have ended up with narrower brass side pans. The narrower side pans would have worked, but I was thinking I wanted a little more weight to the side pans. Plus the wider pans make mounting the body a little easier.  --------------------Bill

Tonight I started building the prototype of the NASTE IROC Camaros. I have started a photo gallery of the mule's buildup. You can follow the progress by clicking on the "Slot-Tech" tab on the home page.  -----------------------------Bill
