Great video!! Expert info is scare as hen's teeth here in the US. Much appreciated! Looking forward to the next. The process of obtaining a reliable gear mesh would be most helpful!! Certainly will help with participation in this class at the local level.

[@CleaveTech]

Thanks for watching. Nice idea for a video. I will certainly make a video about getting g a good gear mesh with “inline” gears 👍🏻

[@John-te3zd]

Great video James, waiting for part 2

[@CleaveTech]

Part 2 on the way next Friday at the same time 👍🏻

[@NormanWunsch]

[@carlosalbertodomingueshenr3488]

Thank you very much 🙏

[@keithwthe1andonly]

Got a video idea for you: Adjusting controlers: throttle and break adjustments "Tuning in the controler to car"

[@2ofus]

Much appreciate the look at the Horky chassis.

[@CleaveTech]

Thank you 🙏

[@Fabio-ns4ql]

Way to go James. Ive tried the movable pivot on the guide concept. Couldnt get it to work.

[@CleaveTech]

I’m not sure I like the “floating” or moveable front end idea, but it seems to work with 1/32 scale Euro Sport cars.

Reminds me of the Record Breaker days

[@maliysh-krepiysh]

Hello. As always, great videos! But as always, there are many questions. I would like to know which engine you have chosen in the end. Are the keels at the back of the body very important? We usually cut it to the same level... Why make wire conductors to the motor? What role do they play? And how did you connect the wire to the wire?

[@CleaveTech]

Thanks for watching again. The motor details will be revealed in the next video. The flaps at the rear of the body help to control the air and reduce turbulence, keeping the lower pressure area under the body for longer. They do not have as much effect on a F1 car as they would on a Euro Sport Car. I am not sure I understand what you mean by “wire conductors?”

[@Fabio-ns4ql]

@@CleaveTech I think he means the motor shunt wires.

[@maliysh-krepiysh]

Well, here's a 14:45 video. Next to the red body model. From the current collector there is a red wire, then a wire and then a wire to the motor again... I apologize for my crooked English.

[@CleaveTech]

@@maliysh-krepiysh Thank you, I understand now. That was a picture of another car raced by a different racer. The reason he made his wires like that was because they are slightly lighter and they stay in the same place when going round corners. He just removes the insulation from the solid wire and solders it to the flexible wire.

[@nicemanknut]

The chassis slotcar dealers, please give me a tips, thanks a lot for your videos Best regards Knut olsen

[@minipaintingforyou]

@3:15 ah, the infamous „not a Mercedes“ =)

[@CleaveTech]

Haha, it was before they were not a Mercedes 😉

[@kevinbluett161]

Nice video. Do you fasten in ball bearing bearings? I yes, what preferred method?

[@CleaveTech]

Hi Kevin. The ball races are soldered into the chassis.

[@watashiiru]

Atom Eve is alike Mrs Marvel🧐🤔

[@martinfrazier1035]

Enjoy your special

[@kenneely7899]

Should get more speed with gears in the same plane.
