Posted: Tue Jan 07, 2014 6:51 pmNice work! I've always loved these since my Aunt had one of the first 240z's in the D.C. area. Awesome car!

Posted: Wed Jan 08, 2014 7:14 amThank you all! I was going to try BRE racing version if I could get the 1/24 scale kit's decals and scale them down...but, couldn't find one at a reasonable price. So, I did a corrupt version of the Transcendental Racing car, #47...I liked the color scheme, easy to see.

Posted: Thu Jan 09, 2014 10:28 amThanks Jeremy! Your wife is building a slot car? Wow, that's cool...

Posted: Thu Jan 09, 2014 11:01 amWow, that's a great and challenging first build with all the soldering!
I also see you helped her make a driver that would distract the other drivers...:)

Posted: Fri Jan 10, 2014 7:52 amOne of the guys I race with made a car with a well endowed female driver too...when I asked him about it he said it was supposed to look like his wife!
I said, "Really?!!!" And thought to myself I've got to see his wife, sure enough he wasn't kidding :) He said, "I told you!"
I think Carrera, makes some of the best slot car drivers...Lolo in the Maserati and the redhead in the Mayhem car. I wish I had bought more of those Limited Edition cars! And I wish Carrera sold the drivers separately, even the street driving hot rod guys and vintage stock drivers are great.

Posted: Sat Jan 11, 2014 2:31 pmNice to see what these kits look like as I have eyed them before.
Great work there, sir.
I have used a Scaley based resin 260z for my build.

Posted: Sun Jan 12, 2014 8:44 pmI used an HRS slotit....for the first time.
I used to build a brass one for most scratch builds but time constraints made me use the plastic one.
A mate who mastered the body from the old Scalex car used a slotit GT40 chassis under his.
The main issue is getting the guide behind the front valance/splitter.

Posted: Mon Jan 13, 2014 9:52 pmYou have a larger space there....see my pic with the angled back splitter, it creates a tight fit....workable but tight.
