Great summary on a SHARP looking build!
Appreciate you sharing the "challenges" and "solutions" as well - great reference for those of us that may stumble into the same type(s) of issues. :)

This build is my favorite to date. Everything about this car looks fast and smooth.

That is NEAT, That is very NEAT.

Thank you for doing this. This is just the kind of great info we like.

Well done. I will make a title photo for it and get it in the Slot Car Garage and Pit Row areas.

Fantastic build and I'm not even a big "roundy-rounder" fan! :text-bravo: I can identify with the "why-is-the-motor-hitting-the-interior-when-I-measured-?" syndrome, seems that happens more often on my scratchbuilds than anything else. Again, super sweet looking ride and great blow-by-blow description.

This is cool - full scratch built chassis, very detailed painting and modeling, and your own local sponsor decals - very nice... Useful collection of skills and materials assembled here.

I think there is a lot of satisfaction in making your own one-of-a-kind car, especially from scratch.

Of course this really opens up doors - you can pretty much make up anything you can think of - a tribute to a local short track hero from 40 years ago, or a phantom what-if of a racer that might have been or could be.

Looks great!

Very nice Kev, (dang it I keep forgetting to put gas caps on my cars!)

Nice build Kev!

Thanks all..

Here's the Torino coming out of turn 4.. Long wheelbase with gobs of power..
You need to be gentle on the throttle to get a smooth exit, or it'll get real sideways :mrgreen:



(watch it in the HD mode or it's pretty grainy)

That turned out great. And watching it go around the track did it for me.
Time to pick-up some brass & build one. Great Job!

Thanks for sharing ... J Y D

That there, just looks like darn good entertainment!

BAD ASS Kev.. that baby looks like he`s squeezing every little bit out to get the pole for the trophy dash.
super build too man !

Boy, that's a nice looking car! Chassis body, the whole lot. :text-bravo:

With that tendency to tail-out, I'd turn the brakes way down on the controller, let it coast through the turns and don't get back on the throttle until it's straight. A little weight in the rear, or narrower tires, or weight higher in the car might give you better grip. Looks like a ton of fun though; just like the 1:1 Sportsman class.
