Hi audi1

Very cool wheel inserts. I couldn't find them in the CB Design Wheels and inserts section of Slot Car Corner. Could you relate where these can be found. Thanks

They're yours!

Sorry for the confusion. Yes, they are CG Slotcars inserts, not CB Design.

Another car arrived today; this one from Paul (FC47). It's a Chaparral 2E - complete with the wing - brave racer! :music-rockout:



That's 26 cars in total now; I'm expecting to see another 10 based on the PM's that I've received this week. That will give us a very nice field.

Those inserts you came up with are nice Allan.

Yeah, hey, the Chapp has a wing, gotta present the car prepared for battle, the spirit of the race,
Plus, we'll trust the drivers, the thing never deslots.....and I kept the spare wing here.
Let's go racin!!

Alwyn, your eyes are right they are slot.its.
I know you guys build some fierce cars, I've learned already what my 908 would need to go better.
But the Chaparral came to a really good predictable balance, one I couldn't find with the 908, with different sets and diameters and gearing-I think I have too much motor too in the 908. Anyway.

The wing, well that one can knock off and go back with decent friction to keep it, the fragility of that light body shell is where I worry, not if but when the buggar leaves the slot. I didn't have the time I would have like to burned with more testing, but the car seems to be predictable and forgiving....yours are all likely more-so.

Good luck to all,
Paul

Another car arrived in the mail today; this one from Paul (Oscar racing); a McLaren M8D/E sporting the Quick Slicks livery:



I think those are rubber tires......................?? :lol:
