Russell,
Will gearing be open? The stock gearing of 11×32 was used for the past two series and although Thunderslot is now making a 31t and 30t spur they are almost impossible to find. The Thunderslot spur gear has a diameter of 17.5mm where the NSR – using the same axle size – makes spur gears that are 17mm. I have not tried an NSR spur with a Thunderslot or a NSR pinion but that might be the solution to allow open gearing if that is the direction we would like to go.
You can find a bunch of Thunderslot plastic pinions in 12t or 13t but that is a big difference from the stock 11t.
Once again, I wonder if NSR gears would work. Thoughts?
That is crazy cool. I saw that in my Facebook feed from somewhere but didn’t watch the video. Thanks for posting. I’m not as glued to them as Jenson is. I will give you one guess on what he wants his dad to build for him and its not a slot car track.
What’s really unfortunate is the part number remains the same – MX16. I wish they would have changed the part number to reflect the new generation of motor and the white end bell color. Now if you order a MX16 motor you won’t know what you get until you open the box.
Mark,
I posted the information again with the Mercedes info. When I used the Snipping tool I accidentally left off the Mercedes models.
Mark,
The write up and details for the rally track have been posted for over a month. It lives under the “Our Tracks” section on the home page of the website.
Randy,
I have no idea if the Mercedes is competitive. Part of every series, especially new ones, is the discovery of what does and does not work easily. The best way to determine if the Mercedes is competitive is to buy one and set it up. Setting up a car is 98% of the performance. Some cars are competitive right out of the box while others require some work to get to the same level. Cars that some have said were uncompetitive others have been able to get them to work. This is the only new series and I am looking forward to running it just because I find it fun and enjoyable to set up a new car and working to get the most out of it. Good luck with your Mercedes. Can’t wait to see it running on the track.
All,
I have spent some time looking deeper into the differences between the older Alfa, the newer Alfa and the Opel and Mercedes. I have a list of the cars, along with all the information about them. Please use this information when selecting a car to run in the series.
I am still not opposed to having all A group racers run the Alfa and the B group racers the Opel. We will have to see how they compare before we make a final decision.
