They fit the Slot.it Prototypes (Audi, Lola) and the McLaren Gt-1's plus other European (Avant, Spirit, Black Arrow) brands that use the larger tires. Question, do you need original tires only or will Indy Grips work as well?

I've got an older Carrera Ferrari F1 but not sure if the same tires fit the newer ones.

When I had the body from Brutus on it's original Champion chassis it would wheelie down the whole straight at Howie's with out the Cockerham modification.  Modification added, it only wheelied slightly sometimes.

I've seen or heard about that club on one of the forums. I'm sure they would welcome you as the post I saw was about someone visiting/racing with them.

I too had fun last night and I only broke one car, plus I managed to hook up my controller correct every time.  I do owe certain people a little help off the track next time out and they know who they are. ;-)

Great stuff Beau, thanks for sharing.

Long live the king!!

I could take it no more last night.  The brake rheostat for my controller was waiting for me when I got home and I brought it down to the shop and tripped on something (air mattress). At that point I decided that something had to be done.  I finally stopped at 10 pm and I'm still not completely done cleaning, chucking and rearranging.  I have filled a 55 gallon garbage sack and have a 12" high stack of flattened cardboard boxes along with a large pile for Salvation Army.  On the plus side, I found the missing wheel/tire for Ninco Megane and the exhaust pipes for the Lotus 49 that have been missing since the last time I decided to burn up my controller by hooking it up backwards.

Maybe I should run without them more often?  Truthfully, I did have some brakes thanks to what I call the magic little switch. Thank you Jim DiFalco.  For most cars it is simply too much brake and I seldom use it. 

BTW, I wish I had a 6.5 lap but in reality it was an 8.5 something.

I've done some playing around on the Lotus and I don't see any way to make use of a solid axle as the axle would be on the same plane as the chassis/guide holder.  It would just take too much modification and the car would end up either nose up or nose down.  However, all is not lost using the existing components and a judicious use of glue in the right spots.  We'll see if it works next Thursday at the Koub's.

Oh come on: Like it's the first time we have conversed about food instead of slot cars on this forum.  Besides slot cars, it's our 2nd favorite topic.

I might be persuaded

Local smart a$$ here. Even to the races at your house?

My 4WD decided to quit working this morning. I made it from my house to 39th (Chavez to some) and Glisan before it decided to work. A real Dukes of Hazzard affair in some instances. Of course, now that it's in the shop, it's working perfectly. I agree the roads are worse in some areas. The freshly packed snow was no trouble at all but now that it's compacted, partially melted and refrozen it's turned to ice.
