      There are many Toyota GT1 cars available from the slot car dealers with various color schemes and car numbers.  Are we going to try to buy different cars and post them on our website to avoid duplication?  I liked that old process from my first few years when we ran one make and model each which made following my car easier.

        Randy, I like that idea for this series. I have counted 11 different colors plus a white kit. (Each white on red color comes in three liveries, but difficult to distinguish on the track)

      Kim – that will be an easy car to see on the track.  I might have to wear sunglasses.  Nice choice.

      I intend to run a white kit but will also be running the “Purple” livery (Some might say “Pink”) to test tires and such and will run it in the event something goes sideways with my white kit body prep. If anyone else wants to run this color let us know.

       

      Purple, or is it Pink livery Toyota GT One

      Take note that I updated the rules this morning to include available gearing and body post bumpers.

      All,

      I must be missing something.  I worked on my GT1 yesterday and discovered that any of the smaller spur gears will not work as the distance between the axle and the motor shaft is too big for a smaller spur gear to work.  I tried a couple of different combinations and could not get anything to work other than the stock 33t spur gear.

      Has anyone else figured out a way to use a different spur gear with the GT1 cars?

        The only gears that RevoSlot provides for the Toyota are the ones it ships with, plus a solid ergal crown that is the same pitch and diameter. (And color, red)

        I ordered all the combos only to realize that this is spelled out quite clearly on the spec sheet in the box.  🙁

      Brian – I did the same exact thing.  I have a collection of spur gears I have no use for.

      Looks like this will be a race where the best motor has a big advantage.
