Randy – you can check a local machine shop and see if they have any surfaced metal plate available for sale. You can usually pick some up for $20-$40.
When I posted the question asking if we were going to publish practice times it was done with the goal of making the series and practice times fair for everyone. To find out practices have already been held or that we will “open the lid” tomorrow without any advance notice is bullshit.
The idea in locking the top was to keep it from being opened by any one individual to practice when others could not. Our regular track is open all the time but the rally track is not and should not be opened without it being posted in advance and available to all.
This was discussed and agreed to by the club members in previous meetings. I have not heard any discussion of that being changed for this series.
When are we allowing practice for this series? I feel like that is a key piece to being competitive. It would be great if we could agree on dates and times early enough for people to adjust their schedules accordingly. Let me know what everyone is thinking.
Very nice work. I love the Sci-Fi angle. Are the pods from a Twilight Zone episode? Thanks for sharing your track/creation.
Mark – At this point I am inclined to say only the BRM wheels will be allowed. This will take away any possible difference between wheels you can get and wheels you can’t get. Update to follow.
Mark – These are virtually the same wheels. The catch is – there are no Scaleauto wheels available anywhere around the world that I looked where the BRM wheels are available from multiple retailers here in the States.

Here are some updated pictures from today’s limited amount of work. This track looks like it will be super fun and fast even though its on the small side.
The new Scaleauto RevoSlot wheels/tires have arrived. I will be testing them over the next few weeks to see how they perform and will update everyone on this forum. Can’t wait to try them.
Mark – Before I update the rules with the new wheel/tire selection I want to confirm that they will work as I hope they will. Once I have some laps with them I will update the rules with the exact wheel/tire spec.
The only bearings that are allowed are the stock closed bearings.
Lubricants? Use what you have. No need for rules regarding lubricants at this time.
The track table is the same size as the rally track – 3.5’x 14′. I am planning a two lane track that will be easier for my son and his friends to race on.
Yes. You are correct. I have 4 pairs coming for us to try out. I can’t imagine they wouldn’t be anything but amazing. These cars will be so fun running foam tires.
