nice reporting there Bill. keep that up and fox may be calling you to do the f1 races

Al  I tore your motor out of your gt40 and after inspected I have bad news the pinon and motor are toast.going need new ones, looks like the motor got to hot and melted the front bushing on the com side of the motor the result there lots of side play.  and that what all the binding was about in the gear train. might think about a new spur also never going to be right after the pinon gear tore it up.

Only thing stock on fly 908 is the motor.both. axiles were junk and the guild was also bad.see u all tonight for candy high let down.

It was good just to see you back in the slot Mitch. your aim will come back. Al had no problem cleaning up the bathroom after we all left.

Ok, here is the story on the motor: I was too low for tech, so I raised the car up to pass tech and never checked the gears, and that caused the gears to tighten up too much consequently burning up the motor which put on quite show of smoke!

BTW: I have never rewound a motor in my life!

I still had a lot of fun and that is the bottom line to me!

I have done many in my rc racing days.wasway to much work back then and the motors were huge next a slot car motor.

After just a few laps Howie's car laid down a very impressive smoke screen. The motor totally fried and Howie had to switch to a back up car. Hence the disqualification.

I'm assuming since Chris is not taking this over as he has in the past, that no one is thinking of going? No representation by the Oregon Donors?

I not sure but I think there was some issues on the last race that might of put a bad taste on going back up and running again.

Off topic on this thread, but it's one everybody reads...

Jeff, you left your chrome Fly Porsche 908 at my track after last Saturday's race. I'll bring it to the 10/11 Thursday race if I don't have a conflict.


no racing on that date
Due to a scheduling conflict there will not be a race on 10/11/18. The Point Series Championship races will start on 10/25/18.
so were can i get my racing fix. jonesing bad man bad........cant sleep food has no taste got the shacks need a fix just a one little race is all i need. cant go 4 weeks man just cant.....

Talking about cars I ended up with a stock side winder gear and tabbered a axle in my box.???????

No no your in over your head.no way you can chicken out now. You have to see it all the way through. Being that your a past champ and all. Your input is important

Well the talk on the other forums is it much faster by a large margin.

There might be a issue with the gt3 rules. when they were written up all the Scalextric cars came with a  18kish f130 style motor.they new Scalextric Ford GT GTE comes with a slim can motor that is 26,800 @ 12 VDC. do we want to let these car be class legal or not. or just go with the flow and see if it a big advantage or not. don't want to have a another Thunderslot type issue with the class. there is a 18k replacement if we need to change
