Slicks. Jconcepts Smoothie 2's (silver), Proline Bald Eagle (MC), or whatever you have in a clay or soft compound you can grind down.

I will come back and update this thread in a few weeks. But for now, I just want to show it off for guys that donated parts to the project. This is where your stuff went. If you know the back story, please keep it to yourself for now. I'll explain later. Thanks to Frankentruck, dldiaz, duckhead, and...

Almost a 2 year update.

Trying to get this one done for this year's Vonats. Still waiting on some parts, so cutting it close. But Darkside Designs got the body painted for me, and I got it trimmed and stickered when it got back yesterday. That's it for now.

Thanks guys! Heading out to the race this morning, so I figured I'd get the pre-battle pics up. I don't know what happened to a few of them (not centered), but didn't have time to retake them the other day. 20230906_081638.jpg 20230906_081708.jpg 20230906_081729.jpg 20230906_081747.jpg 20230906_0818...

Congrats!

I've only built 3 vehicles this year. One was a giveaway, the other 2 were mine. I didn't have to scroll as far back on my phone for this one.

They should just be standard slot car springs. Group 12 and up.

After my stress test led to poor results on my BC3 chassis, I decided some kind of top brace was necessary. I installed a few stand offs down the spine and made a paper template. I then sent the chassis off to Jeff to have one cut out of carbon. After the initial g10 test brace, I decided to tie it ...

Thanks guys!

I close the poll a few days early, mainly in case of a tie so the mods have time to get together to choose the winner. But it also gives me time to save the winner's pics, resize one for the homepage, an give guys time to congratulate the winner before locking the thread down.
