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 to ...

Good job Mark.

And Caine has gone forth, to what end we know not.

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.

Re: DoSlot Brushless ESC's, Motor & Parts

I like this kit, and the idea behind it. - doslot1.jpg - 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 with ...

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 ...

Re: Brushless Comes to Scale Car Racing

We're already on it Stoo. I have brackets for 110x motors for Slotworx and Plafit chassis. Plafit brackets come in 2 heights for chassis with and without a hole for the motor and they require a hole drilled for a second screw to stop the bracket turning. SW2.jpg Plafit chassis bracket has extra long ...

Re: Windsor Slot Cars- Racing Schedule for 2024

OH, ok,... I guess I just 'assumed' (obviously incorrectly), that it would have been One or the Other, Not a 'Mix & Match' scenario as such. Not aware of it ever being 'Mixed' previously ;) :) It's perfectly legal under the rules, just nobody ever thought of doing it before. Doesn't mean it's right ...
