Lots of new bodies just arrived (New and old)

So Raudi and I ordered a whole mess of bodies and they just arrived today. I can't tell if they will for certain fit yet because our cars are still off having reverse installed. I can compare them to the supplied bodies since we didn't ship those back yet. We have a mix of new and old. Most of them ...

Re: Tire Testing

Additional: One upside to "drawing" the black on the tires is that we now have a few tire marks in some of the slower corners and leading out of the last corner before the straight where everyone gives the cars a lot of gas. heh

Re: Tire Testing

Yes, we found some on amazon. I'll give a link if anyone's interested, but don't want to seem like I'm advertising for some specific brand or anything. Regarding the taping of the front tires... Electrical tape didn't make much of a difference over just the plastic in terms of handling, so taping th...

Re: Line change and coil battery consumption.

Again Erik, you're showing that you've never even used the cars. You're trying to fix problems that aren't problems at all. The cars can make it up inclines that are a bit steaper with a running start, but if they stop for any reason (such as going off track), the car won't be able to go up from a s...

Re: Line change and coil battery consumption.

Actually I disagree with you Erik. As raudi asked, have you actually gotten a car and played with them? When a car is on a rail, the internal electro-magnet functions, but is not strong enough to overcome the magnetic pull of the rail and the steering magnet. As such, when the car is on a rail, turn...

Re: I get a message!

It says in the message "Attached is some info.[sic] on the reverse." Is any of the information that was attached new/useful? Does this mean to get revers we have to send the cars back to Wes for reprograming? I suppose that makes sense. Wonder what he uses to program the board. I might be ...

PacNorthwest Raceway

Raudi1 and I finally got our track up and running for an afternoon inside. Got around to making a video. We have almost 200 pictures of the creation process if anyone is interested. Keep in mind this is still an initial layout, but we thought we had something good enough to show finally. Raudi1 has ...
