My F1 entry, nearing completion. Decals, details, tire glueing and truing and then shipping.

Well, darn. My pics didn't load. I'll try again....

[GTOking]

Maybe this time...nope, well it is on the HRW Facebook page. I can do that :clap:

[Audi1]

You can also send the pics to me at my email address. I'll download them and post them to this thread - if you want.

Here you go, GTOking!





The yellow/red paint job looks good. I'd say decals and in the mail at this point!

Nice looking track, by the way.

That tends to happen to me to. That's why when you extended the date on XXXXXX proxy I said oh NO!!!!!!! Test tune and box up may be my 2019 resolution. Even though I have never made a resolution in my life!!!!!!

I didn't realize the the newer long wheel base F1 cars were an option for entry. That Livery looks good GTOKing!

I'm fiddling with the front axle bracing myself last night, got the tube mounted and glued. New motor installed, base color painted on the body. Now to start putting things together.

I just wonder which cars will perform better? I am building a longer wheel base generic Ferrari for my entry. Parts from SCC should arrive today.

[arroldn]

OK began working on my generic F1 car. Some observations.
Guide replacement: Guide hole is about ID 4mm. Tried Scale Auto and Sloting Plus Guides

Rear canopy:
The Slot.it axle is a smidgin larger than the Scaley. The Slot.it gear fills the gear cavity. I will be opening up the slot for the axle and thinning the body slightly. The stock axle spins, where the Slot.it is as tight as a bug in a rug. I did put the CB F1 wheels with NSR tires on the car and tried the stock axle. Too much slop in the bushings. Changing to Slot.it bushings. Rear tires glued and trued.

Well the car has had it shake down runs. Not sure what the speed should be but it ran a slower than some of my 18K powered cars. Plan to put it on the hauler tomorrow. Snow called for Tuesday morning.
