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.
