Absolutely. The possibilities are there. I look at cars like these, and some FLY models, where you can really 'clean up' the out of the box stuff and then get great results from the tuning mods. Thanks

That would be an interesting thing to play with. Thanks for the feedback Marty!

Agreed. They are all sweet looking, tune up pretty nice. Thanks

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks Marty. It is. We are getting ready next to run the HRW Grp 2 RevoSlot proxy here in week. Footage coming! Coffee...well, I may switch back to it..this early bird drink is nuts.

@@hobbitracing I’m racing Saturday at a new tracks.. looking forward to shooting some footage.

Thanks for the feedback and the support!

Thanks. Hope to have you come by

I believe it's about 8x16, maybe 18ft max. Check about halfway thru and Ken describes length of each lane. Thanks!

Thanks Carey!

Thanks for the feedback.. Pros and cons to it all, and nothing wrong with plastic, of course

Thanks Lee

It was a good time. Gotta get you up there too sometime

Thanks man!

Yup. After about 10 minutes, we started to get the hang of it, found consistent breaking points. I have to edit the RevoSlot Grp 2 race footage...it's coming. Thanks.

Thanks. We can't wait to have more racing there.

That's a good one. I like that! Thanks

Hi Mike. Yes. I owe everyone the last part of the tuning video to conclude, but I agree. I've done many things across many tunes to calm the rattles and noises, but this car, while quick and great handling, runs as if something is rattling around. It may be the way the body rests when achieving float. It could be gear lash, however unlikely. It could be pod to chassis connections. Either way, what I can say is that this car is on par with my Slot.it and Scaleauto GT cars when it comes to performance and that is what matters most to me! Thanks for the feedback.

Glad you like it!

Here you go! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGKcoqmvgLl4a7c

Much appreciated!

Glad to hear it! Thanks for the feedback.

Front straight is roughly 10ft

I'm looking forward to it Marty. Same here too...grub screws were in, both top and bottom, but extras never hurt 😁

@@hobbitracing if you look at the chassis and the body, those grub screws can go up through the chassis and control body float..

Ah, that's right. I had forgotten about that. Smaller spots in theory to rest against. Great point.

I couldn't agree more!

Indeed, a nice way to put it. It passes my test! 😁

Much appreciated.

Happy to hear, maybe we get some momentum if we make enough noise and they keep making these 'low nose' cars like this. And yet such a simple solution, that you'd think the entire goose-neck could be redesigned in an updated mold. Thanks for the feedback.

Nice info and agreed, not surprising at all. We have 2 classes (NSR GT & Group5) with the baby king. Then (GT High Performance, DPi, LMP, GrpC, Slot.it Classics) with MX-16 (or a Piranha). There's interchangeable nature. Slightly lower rpm, but the torque or the other way around. It's great to have them all fit in. Thanks for the feedback!

Nice hearing I wasn't alone in the troubles getting it out of the jewel box. Other than that, fun stuff on the way in the tuning!

Thanks for the feedback!

Much appreciated!

Thanks. I couldn't agree more!

Great question. The strapping tape provides a level of dampening that allows the pod/chassis connection to be smooth and gradual in the side to side inertia that comes into play as we corner. Sometimes even very flimsy chassis that have no motor pod are even helped by this dampening. Many folks use different kinds of tape, but I prefer the strapping variety.

Thank you very much!

Thank you for watching. We've got a really fast one here 😄

Thanks Marty. Always great to hear from you.

Indeed, there was work ahead of me. I didn't capture it all on camera, but there was binding. Thankfully, it's all good now...and I'm keeping the 5-point pod after all. We got a screamer here! Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. Here's some part links for the guide and spacer, as well as the motor if you have a class requirement for it slotcarcorner.com/collections/1-32-guides/products/sp101001-sloting-plus slotcarcorner.com/collections/1-32-axle-spacers/products/xs-01010-n-scc-axle-spacers-3-32-id-x-010-thick# slotcarcorner.com/collections/long-can-motors/products/nsr3024-nsr#

Thanks for the feedback. I love trying rear weight, under or behind the axle, as well. Oddly enough, it worked well in the #21 Kenwood, but not needed here. So much so that this one could be considered a 'class buster', producing some of the fastest GrpC times for this track...without anything but the magnet for rear weight.

Thanks for the feedback Marty. Cincy Slots, along with Butch's track, are a hopeful destination for me one day!!

@@hobbitracing that would be great!!

Similarly, they grew on me. That is a flat-6 from Slot.it. When Scott set up classes originally (long before I rebuilt the track here ) from his years of experience and testing, he determined certain classes would run very well with the high torque, lower rpm NSR baby king. It's just enough to stretch the legs on the straights for a track this size, yet allow for such great take off power when geared appropriately.

Hello and thanks for the feedback, and more importantly, the opportunity to clarify. We're not 'hacking up' any cars here. We're tuning per racing class specs as run at HRP. The only major exchange is a motor, and then possibly changing gears that provide better speed and performance. Weighing a slot car appropriately, inserting axle spacers and a better guide are very routine These are basic performance increases, if allowed per your club or commercial track rules, along with the fact that most classes have a motor spec parameter as a primary consideration. Overall, these are options and opportunities to increase the fun! Take care

Thanks for the feedback. I really continue to try to up-cycle that stuff.

Thanks...you never quite know in the moment what may come to mind. Glad you enjoyed!

@@hobbitracing Well I suppose you could've gone with " Lick it & Stick it" 🙂

Hi. Great questions. Quick Slicks really are slip-on silicone tires, as they say, but I like to knock off the sharp edges created from the mold that sometimes sticks to the tires. I do this with dry wall sandpaper. Front zerogrip are a similar case where I try to ensure no flashing rubber left behind, and if they roll true, I try to avoid scuffing the zg compound. The track is run at 9.5v. Thanks

Thank you for the feedback. It gets even better as it comes to life with the rolex in card stock! Part 2 is in the editing room...

Thanks. Great suggestion!

Thanks!

Much appreciated.

Absolutely. I was quite surprised at just how much 'less is more' with this livery. Thanks for the feedback
