Congratulations to Monte and Victoria Saager on being selected to host one of the events for the SCX Classic Rally Proxy Series. There are going to be events in Norway, Denmark, Ireland, Germany, France, Canada, Australia and of course the good ol' USA. The event is scheduled for October unless changes are made.

PCH shows both wheelbases on the website, same price for both.
Rico
They make this chassis in two sizes; 4 or 4.5 inch. Which one are you thinking of using?
Rico
Bryan- Our thoughts and prayers are with you. If there is anything I/we can do to help please don't hesitate to ask.
God Bless
Rico
Are Nascar bodies the only choice???
Rico
I think it looks great and I bet you'll find you are able to get a way better rythm going with this set up.
Rico
They can be fun, but be advised they will cause crashes that can damage cars. If you are racing competitively I would advise against them. Messing around with some friends would be okay. Just my two cents
Rico
Apparantly playing fair is NOT something slot racers do
Is that the Master set?
Mike- You have to be able to have access to a website that you can host photo's. I use Photobucket but there are others or you may have your own. You set up an account and upload photo's to there from your computer. Once you have them uploaded and saved there four choices that show up under your photo's. Click on the one that says direct link, you may have to right click and copy but I think it copies automatically. When you have this done then start a post here. Add whatever text you want and then use the following formatting:
Type just like this [img]paste the direct link from Photobucket[/img] or [img]http:/www.mysite.com/myfolder/myfile.jpg[/img] if that makes more sense. Basically, just take the url for the image and surround it with the tags and the pictures magically appear.

With Scalextric Sport the track with the power/controller hook ups is set up so you can run two wall warts (power supplies) it helps eliminate power drop off when one guy gets on the power first. It is not a variable set up though. A good variable power supply is not cheap at least the ones I have looked at. You don't mention how many amps the one you are looking at is. I would say you need at least 5 amps, Monte or Bill or ? can correct me on this.

Try Ultimate Racer 3.0 or I have Laptimer 2000
Rico
They had one package of funky colored track borders, that is all
Mike- Bridgetown Hobbies has the following Ninco track:
Qnty 1 Ninco P/N 10206 R1? outer border (6 pieces)
Qnty 1 Ninco P/N 10208 R2? outer border (6 pieces)
Qnty 1 Ninco P/N 10210 R3? outer border (6 pieces)
Qnty 1 Ninco P/N 10212 R4? outer border (6 pieces)
Qnty 1 Ninco P/N 10151 Offroad 1/2 (20mm) straight
Qnty 1 Ninco P/N 10103 1/2 (20mm) straight
Qnty 2 Ninco P/N 10108 R4? curve
I talked with the owner Mike and he said he'd sell the lot for $50.00 ($83.00 retail value) plus shipping or you can pick it up.
You can contact them directly at: 503-234-1881 or www.bthobbies.com

I need to strip some paint off a resin body. I have used brake fluid on plastic models but I'm not sure about resin. Who's done this and what did you do?
Rico
If you have not voted yet, please do so. This is one of the few times when we all can have a direct input on what gets built.
Rico
They have some Ninco track left at Bridgetown Hobbies. It's been there a looooong time. I'll check and see what it is and see if they will discount to get rid of it.
Rico
I would second what Monte has to say. Make sure the cars stay on the lanes also.
Actually there is an IMC 1/25 Ford J kit on Ebay but it's kinda pricey. I had a GT40 when I was a kid and had no skills to do it justice. They are pretty nice kits.
Update- It sold for $52.00
You haven't been trying very hard have you? Here ya go
These 1/24 bodies are $7.00 each - choose from:#964 Chaparral 2G #157 Mirage
#146 Ford J Car #153 Lola MK III
#960 King Cobra #156 Ford MK IV
#163 Ferrari Can Am #1010 Batmobile (BZ repro) .030 thick $15.00 each
Here's the link: http://www.vintageslotcars.com/catalog6.htm

Apparantly you've always had a thing for rule bending J cars. I'm beginning to see a pattern. We've seen the 1/32 car and now the HO, where's the 1/43 and 1/24???????
Rico
I came home the other day and this is what I found
This is no BS, I think it's in the genes.
Rico
Yes, it would be nice to start and end a little earlier when we are quite a ways from home.
Monte needs his beauty sleep?????????????
Bill- I think that is an excellent compromise. Basically the Naste group has had a little something for everyone, at least as long as I have been involved. The experienced and the not so experienced, the builders and the nonbuilders are all welcomed. All scales of racing are also experienced, so that people can decide on their own which scale they prefer (me, I like them all). At that time, they can continue to race with us or find a group of like minded individuals to race with and the choices seem to be growing more and more. There is so much going on and with the new true scale 1/24, Naste Thursdays, OSCAR, PASER, BSCC, Cape Horn and Naste one could never keep up with all the races. Obviously the separate heats would not be available at all the races depending on the track being used. The HO races and the race at BSCC come to mind.
One question I have is would both heats count for Naste points or would there be a separate series since maybe not everyone would be racing the second heat? Anyway I think it's a great way of adding to a little something for everyone.
