      Sat June 28, 5:00p, CAPITAL CITY raceway in Pflugerville will have a race with 1/24 Flexi cars with Brushless motors.

      Come see what the fuss is about these spin-offs from the RC car racing scene.

      Prices have fallen dramatically to appx $40-50 for conversion to these “lifetime” motors with more than enough RPMs and Torque for any style of racing.

      For 1/32 … as per my past posts, these motors are currently Too fast/powerful for all but the large European tracks.  Nonetheless they are VERY COOL and are worth understanding …

      it may only be a few years before the power and prices are “tame enough” for 1/32 scale racing LOL

    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.
