Oh yes, looking great. You have the look.

You know, these things still look like aliens to me, but I LOVE the way this kit looks and how it is turning out. REALLY awesome job Brew!

I'm partial to these wild looking race cars, i raced one for a few years and are a handfull to drive but a total blast!
Looks like I better get my butt moving, shotgun already has his done and I had a head start!
After running Harrys car I'm even more excited, very fun car to drive.

That is some great looking paint on there sir!
:text-bravo:

I need to see how this turns out....
Looks great so far...

And the Michael Angelo of slot cars shoots another beauty.
Great livery design on a great looking body.
Kudos.
Do I smell a possible oval proxy of one class cars in the future ?

'Been out of the 1:1 racing biz for 10 or 12 years, but had this discussion with Mr. Reinecke at the Skunkworks a while back.
We ran a right rear spring at 100 to 200 pounds & a left rear around 400 to 500. The right front spring may go from 700 to 900. The car rolls over on the right rear in the corner & the right front doesn't give up anything. That way you get maximum bite off
the right side to power the car through the corner. The stiffer left rear gets more traction on the straights to stabilize the car.
The left front shock usually is a 90-10 or 80-20. (quick compression but slow rebound) This will keep the left front up a little longer,
helping to load the right rear a bit more. The chassis is extremely rigid because you want the suspension to do all the work. You'll notice the
left rear is never off the track surface even if the left front is in the air. All the movement is in the suspension components.
:roll: The cars are 2300-2400 lbs & 700-800 HP.
:hand: :hand: (We don't want to get into the myriad brackets, bird cages & hookup points for all the suspensions) :doh: :doh: :doh:

Thanks for the enlightenment Strangebrew, Now I know that more goes into those 1:1 than meets the eye.

Mr. Brew made up some resin chassis for the cars.



This is mine in the series that he finished.

Very cool! Looks like it would make for a pretty cool proxy series!
(hint, hint, hint)
