Re: CH01-24-ReFb fully equiped, as neat as it gets ?

What is the wheelbase of the chassis in the photo?
What is the distance between the front wheels, when measured from the outside of one to the outside of the other?
Is the wheelbase adjustable?

Re: 1:32 and 1:24 Comparison.

Do both cars have the same motor? The same gear ratio? If the cars have the same motor and gear ratio, the 1/24 car should run faster at top speed, since it has bigger diameter tires. Of course that's true only if the motor provides enough power. Lap speeds will be dependent upon the handling and ac...

Re: Track routing with Maslow-cnc 0.7mm bit

Great progress Kim! Looking very good! For a portable track that is placed on a firm foundation, you might be able to hold the panels together with Velcro.

Re: Track routing with Maslow-cnc 0.7mm bit

Kim, I’m very surprised that you didn’t break a lot of router bits. In my opinion, the MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) that I’ve used in this country for various projects is very hard; way too hard to cut with a 0.7mm router bit in a hand held Dremel tool. I suggest that you seriously consider using...

Re: Noob question

MagRacing chassis are designed to follow the guide wire embedded in the track surface, even when the steering wheel on the transmitter/controller is turned left or right. That means that whatever mechanism is used to steer the chassis via the transmitter/controller, it can not be powerful enough to ...

Re: Cork on MDF test track is getting closer.

The face skin of the GAF polyiso board appears to be the same on both sides, except for the color. One side is very light grey with some red lettering and the other side is a slightly darker silver-grey. Apparently the aluminum and kraft paper are bonded together and then bonded to both sides of the...

Re: Cork on MDF test track is getting closer.

Kim, A couple of years ago I played around with the idea of producing and selling magracing track. I was thinking of making sections of track, perhaps as small as the plastic slot car track sold by Scalextric or Carrera, but probably larger. I decided that the best baseboard material available then ...
