I would also like a Honda and would do a paint modification to distinguish my car. However, is one of the BTCC Scalextric cars better than the rest, or worse than the rest, based on dimensions? I have checked the dimensions of the stock cars, not accounting for replacement parts, on the internet, and found the following mm or grams:
Honda L=131; H=40; WB=82; FT=58; RT=58; Weight=74
BMW L=136; H=42; WB=83.5; FT=58; RT=59; Weight=70
VW L=150; H=42; WB=85; FT=58; RT=58; Weight=81
MG L=146; H=42; WB=85; FT=58; RT=59; Weight=72
What I have observed this year is that there are not any penalties for body screws falling on the track during races and I was told there is no need for taping screws.
Wings also are not treated as proposed. We could change the rule as shown to reflect recent practice:
- Wings must always be in place at the beginning of the first heat for that car. If a wing becomes detached from a car, the race will not stop for a wing incident. The car may run the car’s next heat without the wing, or upon the request of the car’s driver, an additional 2 minutes between heats will be granted for repairs, but the car must run without a wing if the repairs fail.
This is the car I have owned for about 2 years already and will run the body unless the OG’s show me it is crap. What kind of chassis do I need to put it on to have a competitive car? Scalextric C3524, 2013 Monte Carlo VW Polo R WRC #7. In spite of my beginner car building skill, I’m glad that we are running a series with possibility of broad selection of slot car brands and good mix of cars represented.
This is your beginner speculating on the unfamiliar world of volts.
Would 12 volts on the 20,000 Shark simulate the high revving Porsche motor better than 35,000 at 11 volts? Does the 12 volts make really hyper active cars?
If we don’t do the 20,000 for the 917’s, maybe the Goodwood cars should be 20,000 at 12 volts.
I would like to run an NSR series as I joined too late for the Mosler series and did not realize the NSR was the best choice for the GT series. Either run Mosler again or the Porsche 917 NSR. I finally am getting good with the old standby Group C porsche so bring that back. I am also a big fan of the 60’s cars like Cobras, Ferraris, porsches, etc. using Nincos Flys and Monograms with liberal addition of power and wheels/tires but set up fair/competitive. Finally, my dream year would include TransAm again if it included the 2 liter and 2.5 liter cars and my Radial Tirebird BFG decorated car.
