    CORRECTION ON MINUTE DETAILS OF “USELESS MATH TRICKS”
    COMPARING THE MICROSCOPIC BUT SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NSR/THUNDERSLOT AND SLOT.IT 3/32IN AXLES

    Slot.IT Axles
    3/32in = 0.09375 X 25.4 = 2.38125mm Axle Diameter

    NSR/Thunderslot Axles
    2.37mm/25.4 = 0.9333 x 32in = 2.9858 [2.99/32 inch]

    *2.54 is the conversion factor to multiply inches to get metric equal

    At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
