I finally got my cars/chassis. One Porsche 911 body, two Taurus stocker bodies, and a corvette body. Four chassis, but they are in rough shape. One was cracked in half, and the others had the magnet removed roughly which resulted in cracks. I think I am going to try and make a gift card chassis with a styrene motor pod for the Porsche. I'm hoping to get to the hobby store this week and get some styrene. As far as Artin goes, the one motor I could test worked well, but has the capacitor on it for the "power passers" set. Can I just delete the capacitor when I install the motor on a new chassis?

you can remove the diode (not a resistor, not a capacitor) without any issues.

A year further on, Lloyd and we still talk my doing 43rds! I am tempted and I have no scale allegiances, really. I already have 24ths in my Merit kits and, as you say, some 43rd shells from you, although they seem to have ended up at son. Bazz's pace I must go over and rescue them from certain doom.
I hope you have found 43rds to be what you were after, Matt.

Cheers,
Martin
