    Again, thanks guys!  I have previously gotten a few of these answers in 1×1 conversations with some members of the club, but wanted to make sure that they were openly documented for any new members.   My interest with the anglewinders was related to my plans to build a Donahue 917/30 (like Marty has) using a Carerra body and HRS2 chassis and I wanted to compensate for the relatively greater mass of the body.

    I only have 2 slot.its at this point, but am constantly fine-tuning my GT40 and my Chaparral (for the CanAm).  I have a 962 I am planning to build up with a HRS2 and again wanted to get the sage advice from you veterans in advance so I am not having to make drastic changes as I learn more (…which of course is a never-ending process!)

    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.
