Steve from Atlanta

Post by steved033 »

Hey everyone, I just put an order in with Wes, and I'm really excited to try these out. If the videos are any indication, these cars look like a ton of fun.

I'm in the Atlanta, GA area, I'm a mechanical engineer, well versed in Solidworks CAD. I'm a complete and total petrol head (as the English say). Street cars, race cars, model cars, slot cars....just cars... people ask me why?? I tell them I was never good at sports, LOL.

anyways, Hi from Atlanta.

Thanks guys...I've been reading and reading on track building and design. I really like that little dremel saw and depth gauge you did, Keld.

I think the magracing technology will lend itself to something i'd never been able to accomplish in slot cars. A street circuit like Long Beach or tampa or Monaco.

I've been thinking on an adjustable wheelbase chassis, and have been looking closely at the factory chassis photos.

Remeber its not a 16 tons truck it have to carry!
I use some soft material using for steepreduncancy on parkett floors.
Trying different metods to lay and glue the wire, and make good Lane Changing things.

In this week I will test a lumppaper witsh is just 0.8 mm thick and trye too make the route before I glue the wire.

Its the nice thing with MagRacing, soo many things too test!
