Posted: Fri Jul 03, 2015 5:31 pmNice design sir, looks clean already.

Posted: Fri Jul 03, 2015 5:33 pmThats nice and clean Dave.
it actually looks like a better setup than the original Hornby design which just had a skid on the front instead of the wheel.
It should make the Dragon dance lol

Posted: Fri Jul 03, 2015 8:16 pmThat thing is cool!! I've wanted the Scalextric one forever but they are just too expensive for my taste.
Re: TT 500 Sidecar Rig More progress
Posted: Fri Jul 03, 2015 8:27 pmThat is a cool chassis Dave!
Re: TT 500 Sidecar Rig More progress
Posted: Fri Jul 03, 2015 9:19 pmThat's some pretty cool engineering in my book!
Re: TT 500 Sidecar Rig More progress
Posted: Fri Jul 03, 2015 10:52 pmDave that is pretty cool! I had a similar "stuttering" problem with the red Bugeye I just did....I used the stock 1/43 Artin guide pin and braids on that one. All I did was "fan" the ends of the braids a little more and it seemed to solve the problem.

Posted: Sat Jul 04, 2015 8:53 amDave that looks great! If you decide to keep with the pin, I found on the midgets, that if I moved the pin to the rear of the braid where it contacts the track, it keeps the whole contact area in a circle rather than a lever. it allowed more sliding In the corners without power loss. just a thought.

Posted: Sat Jul 04, 2015 9:30 amDave I had a look on gooogle at vintage sidecar racers and it appears most were spoked inserts.
As they advanced 2 things happened, The wheels started to have dish covers, and the body work covered most of the wheel. Likely a safety feature to stop people putting sports cards and clothes pins into the spokes for that great sound it used to make lol.
