Totally agree on the pictures not doing the car justice. You have to see it out of the box to truly appreciate it. The problem with the tear proof wing is you almost have to break the other to get it off.
One of mine has already been baked, motor broken in and 10T pinion put on. Interested in seeing how it runs now.
Every injection molded plastic has pieces that are sticking out where the plastic was broken off from the mold. This is called flashing. So you may sand away the plastic that not part of the chassis or pod but you make not remove any of the chassis or pod.
Make sense?

All right, we’ll just practice. Have you seen what’s available in MN?

Thanks. Unfortunately I don’t have the keys to the car on this trip. Let me know the details about Saturday when you have them ironed out.
Thanks for the input. I did some experimenting with one car that I had 4 of the same model. Converting them involved drilling, exacto knives, superglue, and soldering, but I have sucessfully digitalized an older F1. Now that I know what I am doing, I think the next jobs will be neater and easier.
I can see it all now……
Ary: “Welcome home, honey!”
Ary’s wife: “What happened to the floors?”
Ary: “What do you mean?”
Ary’s wife: “They’re not the same shade and they’re new.”
Ary: “You noticed that…. err… I mean….. I got them cleaned…. sort of…..”
Ary’s wife: “Uh huh…….”
Ary,
I’ll be interested as well. $200 for a pit box is a bit more than I was willing to spend. For that I can buy a couple of tools as stab at making my own.

I’ll leave that up to you guys to decide. Because I travel most of the time during the week, I’m not going to be able to make every test and tune night due to work.
