Well, ok then.

I think this should work well but I propose a higher RPM motor for the later cars, say 18K.  These cars were faster in 1:1 and should reamin so in 1/32.  I have cars for both classes so I'm ready to go.  However, I may not be able to make it on Thursday due to soccer practice duty. I will try to work something out, practice is from 6-7. I could just be fashionably late.....

They did it while the parents were on vacation and they were home alone, thank God it wasn't a serious blow.  I am quite certain it didn't knock any sense into him.  We later found out they were driving it around Beaverton and the forward gears in the trans went out so they tried to drive it home in reverse all the way to 198th in Aloha.  Real Einsteins....

All you need is a hacksaw and an axe to take the roof off. Kelly's little brothers did it to an Electra 225 back in the 80's.

Quit rubbin' it in would ya? Cuz we're all jealous.....

Thank you Saagers' for an action packed afternoon of racing and eating.  I enjoyed my "watermelon" too Dorothy.

Here's some pics of the F1 cars we were talking about:

I guess they do both have the brass chassis, I didn't think the white one did.

Question regarding the motors for the vintage F1 class.  I have a Scalextric Ferrari 375 with a front mounted FC-130 Mabuchi motor.  What BWA motor are you guys thinking?  I  believe the current stock motor is an 18K but it feels pretty wimpy.  It may or may not be easy to transter the drive shaft to a new motor without damaging it.  Thoughts???

I didn't take any pics of the underside.  You had two choices: Vintage Carrera Nascar or Vintage Revell-Monogram Stocker.  I originally was going to go with the Revell side winder but started adding up the costs for a chassis, wheels, gears etc to make a decent runner out of it and decided it was too expensive when I already had a Carrera chassis here.  I did buy a H&R Hawk motor to try out. They have similar specs to a NC-1.  Stock Carrera front wheels and tires that were trued up and I used a new brand of wheels and inserts on the rear.  Wheels are RS Slot and are only $6.29 a set.  Inserts are made by EZ Mag and are injected plastic.  The chassis is stock except for the parts I had to remove to fit under the Chevy body.

I bet you just might know someone with one to sell??
