Re: Is anybody out there?
I took a break from magracing for a couple of years to work on some home improvement projects. Now I'm back to spending a lot of time on magracing. I think that Wes's idea is truly ingenious. As I see it, the main problem has to do with the implementation. Using the stock steering magnet and .70mm d...

Re: Killed Myself When I Was Young
I’d very much like you to visit me in Sedona and try out some of your new cars. Could also share ideas about magracing. I have not done any racing on my track for the past couple of years but I have maintained the track and the landscaping around it. Here are a couple of pics of my track which is no...

Re: Hello, i'm here !
Welcome Quentin, Magracing is a relatively new kind of 1:32 scale model auto racing. I think it is better than slot car racing because: No wires or slots. Variable forward and reverse speeds and acceleration. More realistic speeds and acceleration compared to slot cars. Forward & reverse makes i...

Re: Hola desde Catalunya (Europa)
Hello Francesc, I just translated your post to English using Google Translate for the first time. During the past 3 years I've been very busy with projects fixing up my home. Now I may start devoting more time to Magracing. I finished building my track around 2018. A complete lap is now about 120 ft...

Re: Faller tool anyone ?
I don’t know anyone who has used the Faller tool. I don’t think it will work unless it will make a clean groove 0.7mm wide and 0.7 mm deep for a guide wire that has a 0.7mm diameter. I’m quite sure Wes used 0.7mm music wire to build his tracks. I used .032”(.81mm) wire for my outdoor track which is ...

Looks promising Kim. Do you plan to make a 1:32 version?

Re: Id4u-CH01-32-ReIb-Vario-87-110mm
Kim, I assume you are trying to design a chassis with an adjustable wheelbase. Are you considering making the chassis in 2 sections, a front section and a back section? Then you are wondering how to connect the 2 sections. Is that correct? First note, based on my experience and testing, a rigid chas...

Re: Alternative battery?
The LiitoKala Lii-14A 18500 1400mah rechargeable Battery 18500 battery 3.7V should work fine if there is room for it in a 1:24 chassis. The long delivery time may be a problem for some people: over 2 months to the U.S.
