plafit FJ/FX?
:lol:
Petrol is for cleaning parts
Alcohol is for drinking
Nitro is for racing
Slotcars are for going VERY quick!

Hi Chadly,
Yes the rules are on the M.R. site, you have a choice of using the plafit chassis or scratch building your own out of brass and piano wire.

Is anyone running a Scratch built FK/FX ???

Love to see some Piccies if they Are !!
Would also be interesting to compare the relative performance of the Scartch builts to the Plafits !!

Hi Stoo,

Yes finally a some D3 racing in Melbourne, we've had a couple of cars at King Willys for some time now. Great to see a full field, some pretty nice chassis' too.

Hopefully the M.R. people can find time in their busy race schedule to run some regular races.

If anyone wants to race D3's on the King we are always up for a race at King Willys.
