Australian Slot Car Racers Association

Klay won using a DoSlot 9kv with DoSlot 'Blue' Board geared 8 to 37.
Not the fastest but he did drive very well, with 8 good Brackets. Old wing 12 Viper body on a 4.6 Chassis.

I used same Do slot 9KV set as Klay but I had 11 to 42.
Made my car faster, I also pushed the boundary with hollow axle and speed spur.
This was my down fall though, as I bent an axle and lost a 'Heat' because I wasn't set up to change anything.
I used an old 4.3 open chassis and body.

Rick Verbeek, (who easily had the fastest car), was using an NSR motor with Mid-America board, which was geared 6 to 41, eventually Spun a pinion and whilst trying to change it, loosened the shaft which ended up falling out.

Geaze, had a B52 9k motor but found some traffic, did his 2 gear allowance so pulled out. Was geared 10-42 with another 4.6 open chassis.

Jason, also had a 9kv DoSlot but it smoked a board. It looks like the motor may have dropped a bearing as the motor was really tight to turn over. Was geared 8 to 39.

Two were using 11kv motors, 1 had the motor fall apart leaving the bell spinning on the track., whilst the other smoked a board.

My take away, is brushless on a king, still isn't there yet, if run as Open.
Maybe 9kv with restrictions to gearing will be ok.
More testing needs to be done.
