I don't see why the gears would not be interchangable bwetween brands as long as the configuration is the same. You wouldn't want to mix anglewinder gears with sidewinder or inlines, but sidewinder to sidewinder or inline to inline should be ok. I think the gear set in AJ's Fly Ferrari are TSRF and they work excellent.

Re: Current Status (137 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
I spent the day behind the wheel. Hillsboro- 8AM, Milwaukie- 11AM, Beaverton- 1Pm, Lake Oswego-1:30, Beaverton- 5PM, NE Portland 5:30PM and finally back home at 6:45.
I seriously doubt everything is A-OK on the digital cars after the whoopin' they got Saturday evening, driveable maybe, but not A-OK.
I can't wait to try out that new track, glad to see you are making progress.

Thanks Monte and Victoria for another fun filled exciting evening of racing. I wish I could have stayed and improved my standing for round 2 but the kiddies had to get to bed. I'll be in Hillsboro around 8:30AM, how about a really late round for me?

Re: Fly Classic Wheels/Tires for the Summer Season (1 replies, posted in BSCC)
After the race last night Randy and I tried running my Fly Classics as set up for Monte's track. Here is what we found:
Chevron B19 with Slot.it orange end bell motor, revised gearing and the hand out urethane tires: 7.8-7.9 sec laps. The car handled very well and was nicely controllable. It did have some hop down the long straights most likely due to the aforementioned Fly wheels or my poor glue job. This hop is not noticeable on my track or Monte's track.
Next up was the Ferrari 512S, stock motor and gears, stock wheels with some Paul Gage urethane tires (Very similiar in compound to the free hand outs). Once again the car was easy to drive and hand very controllable slides. It ran 8.6-8.8 second laps and would be fun to run.
Lastly we tried the same car with IndyGrips. It was still easy to drive but had that kind of greasy silicone feel that we are all used to from the current class we are running, but lap times dropped to the 8.2-8.3 range.
Any of these combinations would work, we just have to decide what we want to do.

Re: Current Status (137 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
Last Friday, Monte sent me an e-mail with a link to Craigslist for an ad with slot cars. It showed 5 vintage style slot cars for $75.00. They were at a collector market downtown Milwaukie, so I stopped by on my way home. I looked all around the place and could not find them so I asked a clerk. She couldn't find them either and made a phone call to someone who told her where they were- hidden in a box on the top shelf. There were 3 boxes branded TEXACO with slot car in them and a couple of Classic aluminum chassis cars with MantaRay bodies along with a bag of spare parts. All the cars were marked $75.00 which I assumed was for the lot until I got to the bag of parts marked $45.00 so I asked if it was $75.00 each. Oh yes, to which I replied "well their neat old cars but way over priced" and promptly left.
