Cool deal Todd..tell us more about the RT-HO brand brass weighted front end.. Thanks Rusty Rusty - will be happy to! The front ends come from RT-HO.com and can be found here: RT-HO front end We utilize the inexpensive independent brass front toward the bottom of the page for the Friday Night cars. ...

Looks like a great time guys!!!
:handgestures-thumbup:

I use small Christmas trees that were picked up really cheap in post Christmas sales. They vary and range in height from about 10 inches to 4 inches but the common factor is they all have a twisted wire "trunk" so just a simple matter of drilling a hole and shove 'em in. My track is about...

While the Mini didn't win, the cheers from the crowd when it briefly took the lead made the entire team feel proud! So even while Team Mini was well outgunned on this round spirits remain high!
:D

I missed it too! WAY too many work hours since November! :( Things finally seem to be calming down a bit finally - so I should be able to get back to a bit of building and racing again soon! (In fact, had an opportunity to do a little small scale running last night) Again - looks like a GREAT time h...

A number of us were invited back to Hangtime's home in Cuyahoga Falls, OH for an evening of food, fun and laughs on his "still not officially named" Max Trax track last night. :D After some shake down action and some tasty eats - we kicked off the racing with the Stock T-jet class! The tra...

The final class for the evening were the "Friday Night Cars"! These are lightly modified Auto World / Johnny Lightning cars that border on the "box stock" side of things and are a hoot to race as they are definitely a "driver's" car as they have more power than even the...

John - Sounds like a fun project! In regard to cars, Tyco 440x2 cars are typically very robust, relatively easy to work on, have a wide variety of bodies available and can be picked up for modest cost. They come with splined axles, so loss of wheels is not something you normally need to work about. ...

Your pictures aren't coming through - show as a webp format verses a jpeg, etc format?

Something else to note - going that wide, there will be a notable difference in lap times between inner and outer lanes if the track is going to be a oval. A bridge can equal the lanes out (figure 8 as an example) but a 12 lane track is going to have a pretty wide racing surface as lane spacing is t...

Blink, blink, blink... That is VERY cool!!!! :music-rockout: Just took a measurement on my 1/24 builds that I have been doing... Any chance there might be a version available/coming that would allow for another 1/2" of distance from the leading edge of the guide to the center of the roller? (my...
