Dan, Slot it axles and gears will fit your pioneer Camaro

Nice job guys.

Old Thread different year.
Thanks to Rico and his family for having us out for another race. I had a great time . Your new tape worked great, the cars power line was smooth and consistent all the way around the track.

Re: Fly tires, my 906 has 10mm tires, the newer Porsches and T70s have wider tires, the 250GTO has a tall tire on an odd size wheel. I don't know about the others.

Next odd Thursday appears to be GT & Classsic Sports Car.

I had my Porsche 906, Goose had a Fly 250LM out and Al took a few laps with his Scaley GT40, Oh and Greg had a couple of Fly GT40s out there. That looks to be the popular car. I think Dan was trying out a 917 but I'm not sure. we were starting to get a pretty good crowd by then. My 906 ran great. I put the newer axles and BRM wheels back on my Fly 250LM, so it's not technically eligible at this point, but it sure is more fun at home. My stock wheels are rather wobbly at this point.
I'll try to remember to bring mine to Bill's this week.

I have a couple of extra I can bring.

When we first began discussing this class we just happened to be comparing the merits of Scalextric RTR cars to Fly RTR cars so we started to discuss racing these together. I occurs to me that Revell/Monogram also make several cars that fit into the specs that we are considering and with similar tuning could maybe be competitive with the other two. I'm wondering if we want to consider including this brand for the sake of greater variety. There might also be some who would like to participate that already own these and maybe not the others. Just a thought.

I'm usually one of the guys constantly upgrading and swapping parts just trying to keep up with you faster drivers, and I do like driving a smooth car, but too many upgrades is what happened to our classic sports car and Trans Am classes. I'm all for improvement to the handling of these cars, I suppose the issue is Motors.  It appears that Fly and Scalextric get their motors from the same supplier, at least they both show "black stripe" motors as 'Factory" replacement motors. I personally prefer the smooth power band of the H&R Hawk motor. 
  I pulled the label off of an older Scalextric "Sport"motor the other day, it had a black stripe underneath it. Go figure. If we are considering upgrading axles are we also considering upgrading wheels? Fly wheels won't fit Slot it axles. Another point to consider, many of the Fly cars now have 3D chassis available that take slot it pods. Rules, rules, rules.
I'm just here for the thrill of the chase, or is it Goose hunting?

That looks simple enough, is there a particular chip you recommend? Or is there just one Scaley chip? As far as the body work, I have a Dremel and I'm not afraid to use/abuse it.
