Re: WestRock ESC - The Basics

Nice job David. The carrier is a great idea if you need to change the ESC at times. Also with the addition of a couple of plugs it could easily be switched between cars if you don't want to be shelling out for an ESC for every brushless car in your box.

As for the tape, I've never had an ESC get ...

Re: WestRock ESC - The Basics

I fail to see the need for the tape, although I didn't listen to the audio and just skipped through the video.

I have 6 cars with Westrock ESCs, all mounted on poster mounting tape, the spongy double sided stuff. I also have 2 cars with DoSlot double sided ESCs mounted on the tape with no other ...

Slotworx Porsche Rule Changes

Hi All,

As we're at the end of the year it might be a good time to talk about the Slotworx Porsche rules.

Some background. During Covid I could not purchase some of the materials to make the Slotworx GenI chassis, particularly the aluminium sheet required for H and T plates. The decision was made ...

Re: Unnecessary Allegations

I've tried to warn friends about feeding the troll in question, to no avail.

The only legal deterrent is to ignore them, denying them the attention they seek. There are other effective methods, but such may result in a term of incarceration.

Re: Ferrari 312T lunch table

I'm always amazed at pit stops back in the day.

Car pulls into pits, team wanders out, "Yeh, did you want something", driver "fill her up, and can I get a coke while I'm waiting".

Re: Internal Combustion Engine future

No information about how they produce the fuel.
It's hard to find any definitive information on the cost of producing hydrogen fuel.
Estimates of cost vary considerably according to extraction methods, but it definitely isn't free.

Re: ALM Raceway

The old Red Racer / Margate track from Brisbane. Word is the new owner has replaced the worn pieces and done extensive re-braiding.

IMHO this is one of the best sedan tracks in the country.

If you're looking to get into brushless, but are a bit daunted by the cost of converting multiple cars here is your answer.
Buy a Do Slot kit for one car and you only need buy motors for your other cars. Spare Velcro mounts and lead wire ...

Re: Brushless Comes to Scale Car Racing

New Slotworx 110x motor mount kit for Plafit cars, commissioned by Werner of Ace Hobbies and available from Ace Hobbies later this week.

Mount uses existing holes on any Plafit chassis with the 4 bolt mounting pattern. Werner tells me there are only a few Plafit chassis that don't have this bolt ...

Re: Brushless slot car info & stuff

Some opinions from my own experimenting -

You don't need anything bigger than an 110x motor. 1106 is a good size.

Choose motor kv according to car weight and body configuration. 6000k and up are for light weight cars with some downforce, flexis and up.

For model type cars, heavy with no downforce ...
