No, the way the chassis and the body mount, I had to return it to mount the correct body.  I imagined it would use the same body posts, silly me.

Ok, here's a couple of items for Mad Dog Monday.

The Cobra:

Yes the same King of the Ninco Cobra's that terrorized so many.  Has been returned to original parts.  No motor - fits long can.  Will need to replace the rear drive (cracked rear wheel), glue rear bushings, add a motor and go.

Priced to sell:  $10


Pyramid Power Supply: 6-15V, 30A

The power supply that has been running the Penguin Point three lane track for some years now.  Voltage appears reliable, can not guarantee current for bigger draw motors.

Yours at $15

Contact me directly at montedsaager@gmail.com if interested.

Thanks.

Yes, I'm just awaiting it's return from a modification.  I expect to see it this week.

A fine afternoon for racing with 15 racers in attendance.  It was great to see George V. and his sons again after some time as well as meeting his friends Chris, Piper and Cricket.  Hopefully they will get a chance to come back.

ok, so what is the goal here again please?

561

(28 replies, posted in Cars)

Yes.  I think so.  Or weight to power ratio of some sort.

It occurs to me that another aspect we'll want to control is weight.  Since we'll be using lower powered motors the weight of the car can be a significant issue.  A lighter car will get moving quicker.  We'll move from motor wars to weight wars.

The best starting point would be the motor list that we published based on Robert Livingston's testing.  It does not include some of the newer motors since he stopped doing this but is certainly a very useful reference.

Pitiful...  They are spec'd to quite a bit more.

So is there some manor of motor limit or will there still be a power divide?

You should consider hiring help.  Find a younger individual to strain their muscles.  A least you should be happy to know you still have muscles.

Are there rules pertaining to the horn(s)?  I think a set of moose horns would look awesome.

I would have been tempted to balance the room by placing it next to the cat's watering hole.

Alright, what happened to the results of the first race?

Had a wonderful time, we'll have to plan another one.
