Marty,
Check the body and make sure all the posts have been melted down to hold the pieces in place. That’s the problem.
Same here on the Toyota. I’ve not pulled the GT40 apart to look at it yet, but I’m sure it has the same issues.
Brian,
Sounds like fun. I’ll probably run the Maserati as I think it may be a little quicker than the Ferrari (stronger magnet?)

I was kind of hoping we could race with the car just as it came out of the box. Leave the magnet in, oil the bearings, and go racing. Thank God we now have a kill switch, as I see a lot of unintentional lane changes with the F1’s. I have “lost” 2 non-magnet cars due to damage for this same occurrance, jumping into another lane and smashing the wall at full speed. Maybe leaving the magnet in place will cut down the frequency of this hazzard.
As far as tires go, I have not had good results trying to run Slot.It tires on Scaley wheels. They just don’t fit correctly. If we can run with the magnet, the stock Scaley tires seem to work okay. Anyway, that has been my experience.
Brian, how about an “exhibition” heat of skinny tire F1’s? I’m up for it if you are.
My 2 cents,
Jim J.
Marty,
By limiting the BRM series to pink motors only, we may be eliminating competitors before the series starts. I know for a fact Clark has a pink motor, but Priscilla has only the red motor.
Since the BRM series is a “sprint” compared to our LeMans endurance race, I feel red motors should be allowed along with pinks for our series. Motor longevity should not be an issue with this format of racing.
Comments?
