American Thunder invitational Fun Run

Thanks Bob,
Not sure what cars this guy on Ebay is getting these hot motors out of. Must be 1/43 scale cars. Not sure what volt power pack 1/43 runs on but these motors as stated burn up or if you can get one to run its cranking 24-27K RPM. 2 cars ordered will have one ready to ship surely by the end of next week.

They are the 6 volt 1/43 scale motors probably. they are the same size, and look very similar, but run terrible at 12 volts.

Bob

Yeah he claims he's run 1/24 scale cars with them up to 19 volts. I wonder how many motors he goes through to find the one that will not go up in smoke on him.

Anyway 2 cars ordered. I'll start painting the body I have as the Coor's Light Dodge.

Bob,

Is it okay to send two cars or do I need to limit it to one?

Just curious.

OK The Professor delivered. Two Artin Stockers Arrived. This will become the 40 Coors Light Dodge.
Mail carrier delivered the Forums Cup Cars today. I'm going to be busy the next 3 weeks. Leave Monday going to DC. Get back Friday. Got to get the house ready for Turkey day. Hope to have this ready to ship Friday or Saturday.
Stock tires runs a fast lap of 3.42 sec on my oval. Runs 20 laps in 1.10.53. Slowest Forums Cup COY car with 21,500 motors ran 20 laps at 1.08.52 fast lap 3.39. I think its going in the right direction. Tires should be here by Friday I would think. I found some K&Ds remember them? Stock tires were quicker. But they were not glued and trued. I have both Yellow Dogs and Paul Gage ordered.

Patrick, send as many as you wish!, we have plenty of room on this one.
And aarold, cant wait to see the coors light car, the graphics on that one always looked great to me.

Thanks Bob.

I'm working on the Jimmy Spencer Zippo lighters car and my "Hogan's Flying Circus" fantasy scheme car. I think Harry's indirectly responsible for that sponsor idea.

Patrick

[btaylor]

Both of those sound interesting!, I really like the fantasy cars best.
looking forward to seeing these!

Had to share it...

OK,
Coors Light Dodge is complete. Final test and tune tomorrow and to the post office. Hope it races well. I goofed on the decals. I thought they were waterslide and sprayed them with clear coat. They were peal and stick. I've had them for a long time so I had forgotten. They don't look the best but they will do.

[arroldn]

What is the ship to address? I'm leaving for DC tomorrow and need to get the car in the mail tomorrow. I would like to process the label tonight and leave the box in my mailbox for the postal carrier.




Tracking shows car arrived this morning around 9:00 11/18/2015
