If I knew, Id be happy to tell you. Ive been looking for the guy since Shapeways shut down. That was where he sold his stuff. And shapeways didnt give a warning. As soon as they announced they were folding, the website ceased to work. I couldnt contact the guy at all. Ive been searching the net for him since ( I have like 10 chassis for various cars , waiting to build.. but I wanted to get more). Now that shapeways is coming back under new ownership, I contacted them about it, but they said due to the way the company folded, they dont have any records or data on previous sellers. Just keep watching shapeways. Im hoping, as soon as the new marketplace is back online, he will show up. I do have a one 911 chassis left (maybe 2), which is what im going to build the analog gulf car from this video. so it will get the slot.it motor pod conversion and all that goodness.

actually, you can/should take out ALL or at least 2 of the magnets. There is way too much downforce, even with the body magnets. The next episode will be on the truck itself (and using another track cleaner as well). Ive taken out both the body magnets but left the mag in the pad holder. (just to keep it from fish tailing).

oh no, thats a special one. Im assuming you mean the special edition? they dont have anymore on alliexpress. They are pretty hard to find. you can google "carrera digital 32045" theres one left at this store in germany.. www.modellbahnprofis.de/carrera-revell-32045-digital-132-porsche-911-gt3-r-i-s-sondermodell-2024-9003150129233/

@@slotrods6430 Thanks, I saw that one in Germany but I don't think they ship to the US. That is a beautiful car!!

sure, here are the STL files I have on them... drive.google.com/file/d/1lTqIchcPuFGXLzyVjCmsfl-qWYiiESWd/view?usp=sharing drive.google.com/file/d/1JLk64_hj841fV0kFFh--z3BP_yEoChz9/view?usp=sharing drive.google.com/file/d/1PKqpNdla6MUpGX62Bb4QZq02gWUkXp_g/view?usp=sharing drive.google.com/file/d/1uUiPHta9quQItN42SJDF7uP-VgcZqaQz/view?usp=sharing

you can find them on EBAY... search for Slottechnik www.ebay.com/itm/114444519432?chn=ps LEB hobbies carries it www.lebhobbies.com/decoder-chips-c-496/ftslottechnik-scd2022-carrera-155v-digital-decoder-chip-p-10775.html great traditions, slot car corner, and professor motor also carries them now. i ordered most of mine direct from germany (before the other US sites started carrying them regularly) www.ft-slottechnik.de/decoder.html

@@slotrods6430thank you

hello! and no, I didnt make them, but I did install them! ha. The are called Lane Gates, made by a company called digital racing solutions. they are 20 bucks a chip and you can find them here www.carreraslots.com/slot-car/30345LG.html or at a few other places like LEB hobbies and some others. just install them and then follow instructions where they talk about creating a detection zone. I usually use like a 1/3 section of track prior to the lane changer to create the detection zone. also, I make sure I have a power tap between lane changers. so if you have say, 4 lane changers on your track, you should have at least 4 power taps. run track power from start to first gate. 1 power tap between changer 1 and 2. 2nd power tap between changer 2 and 3. 3rd power tap between changer 3 and 4, then id put a power tap after the last changer. its not difficult at all.

@@slotrods6430 oh, thank you for the info.

Sorry :) thats a prized car. They are indeed hard to find and expensive when you do. Id suggest watching Ebay. Thats where I got mine. Might take some time and a good bit of cash, but thats your best bet.

@@slotrods6430 Oh well, thanks for the response!

@@user-jx3jp3gb4x 30908 is the car part number

@@slotrods6430 I did find it but thank you, please let me know if you find one, I have looked everywhere and can't find it even though it is discontinued, somebody has to have one. I will keep looking though :)

everything in the magnetic racing kits are wood. and I generally spray paint the pieces individually or use an airbrush. The 3d printed stuff hasnt been painted (save for a very minor few things that was done with miniatures paint). almost all of the color in the 3d prints are just from using multiple colors of filament during the printing process.

that was the first thing I made sure of.. reprogrammed them first. when the new carrera wireless come out this year i'll get a set of those and see how that goes, since they will have a new wireless dongle

@@slotrods6430weird. Wonder whats still interfering with yours. I’ve been using mine for months and only had issues when i first hooked them up. I just took the battery out of the one carrera wireless didn’t need it anymore. I still use 2 wireless carrera with my 2 frankenslot.

actually no, you dont want to change the fronts out. just give them a sand to true them a bit, so the front rides smooth and doesn't bounce from an uneven tire. You want as little friction up front as possible. On the full rebuilds I do, I put zero friction tires up front.

Thanks 👍

just added the stuff I downloaded to print up in the description. still looking for the car lift.

3D printing was created for slot car tracks. HA HA

actually, using the regular pit lane for the entry, the ghost cars wont use it.

I get them from www.carreraslots.com/ Paul Gage 20125LMXD those fit a lot of the carrera cars. and in most cases where they say to use the 20115LMXD, you can often use the 20125's... just sand the inside edge of the tire where it might be rubbing on the frame. That extra mm of width is worth it for the grip.
