      Thanks for the information.  They carry an amazing selection of decals.

        I found Bruno Saby out practicing in his Renault 5 Turbo.  There is a possibility he will be entering the Monte Carlo series in the under 8mm tire size.  Interesting.

                  A friend had a Renault 5 when I was in Cali. A bunch of us lifted the car and put it on the sidewalk. 🙂

                      Hi, guys! Homework time!

                      I would like to include some car details in the Monte write-ups. In order to get the information gathered before race-day when we are all busy. I have included a template document to ease you on your way. Please post your car info here on the forum, thanks.

                        I love those tires with real tread pattern,  I hope they run about the same as slicks that are so not prototypical.

                          ALERT. Rally track needs repair. A braid has disconnected at the power post directly in front of the driver station, inside lane. Braid

                            Driver: Stab’nSteer

                            Car and Number:  Fiat 131 #1

                            Class: Over 8mm

                            RTR Manufacturer:   SCX Body

                            Stock? Yes-ish

                            Somewhat kitbash. The chassis is 3d printed, sourced from somewhere on the Internet since I bought the body-only on eBay. The motor is still up in the air since I haven’t finished testing options at this time, but it is a long-can, inline setup using Slot.it wheels, axles and bushings at the rear. The front is almost certainly Slot.it wheels and axles, too – but I simply grabbed them from my boxes, checked to see if they fit, and they did. So no telling where they were really sourced from. At the moment, there are Slot.it F30’s on the rear. I’m terrible at recording where I find stuff, but the guide is supplied by an un-remembered slot car manufacturer and it allows for many different lengths. Currently, I’ve got it pretty small, but haven’t actually measured it – if I had to guess (since I don’t have the car with me right now) it is between 4-5 cm. Since my tests on this recent Test N’ Tune evening were very promising, I should likely start creating some solid notes about the thing. I am using some Pendle guide wire. Currently, the car is set up to run the body’s built-in LED lighting setup. We’ll see if I retain that. Since I bought the body by itself, I had to supply body screws – I’m using some aluminum 5mm? screws from Pendle with which I have become enamored since they use a hex driver.

                                I will be running a Scaleauto De Tomaso Pantera, the 1976 livery.  I am running everything as it came out of the box with the exception of Slot.it wheels and F22s in the back and finger nail polish on the front tires.   I was a bit skeptical about it at first with it being a bigger car, but I am getting some good times and consistency out of it with practice and tuning.  I may get the Avant Slot Alpine A310 at some point or get the Fairlady done before the end of H2 so I could give it a shot.  I was intimidated by the rally track at first and now I can’t seem to get enough of it!
