No Slack

Mounted a GPM steering kit to my old TA-01 chassis to eliminate (most of) the slop. Used some self tapping screws to avoid damaging the threads with the machines screws that came with the steering kit. A good tip from AMPRO.

Some vendors state that it is a limited edition. Is this true? They said the same about the C11 and this kit is still around.

I still have my lime green Bug from the seventies. It was sold as Faller AFX car. It still runs although the tyres were replaced several times. The body of the pull back version is clipped on the chassis and can be clipped on an electric chassis. And the good news is: you can still buy the slotcar in several liveries.

If I remember well they used Mini Coopers at the former Olympics. These Mini's were maybe 1/6 (?) and carried javelins. Edit: London

Nice. The weathering looks very good and realistic.

Thanks for the answers. I shall take some pictures this weekend.

The Conrad people are back again, now under a different brand name. Be warned!

Hi all TCers. My brother and I are building a XR311 rerelease. We got the car with a completed chassis. It seems the car has a toe in at the front. Looking at pictures on the internet no XR311 has that so we disassembled the front and discovered that two screws were missing. After correcting that and rebuilding the front per instructions the toe in was still there. Has anyone encountered this too? Is there something we do wrong?

During the covid lock down member Yogi Bear made a wonderful limited edition sticker sheet with funny slogans. What about " Snap off, tools you can't trust" Maybe he will do it again with input from TC members?

This happened last april. E-bikes with batteries thrown away as scrap metal. The batteries caught fire and caused a huge fire. A public alert was given.

At work we have to inspect safety and environmental aspects of battery storages (mainly bicycle industry). The amount of energy in storage is immense. Of course in the RC world the number of battery's in a shop or in your lipo bag is less but if it catches fire you better beware. A lipo fire is very difficult to fight and will go on for a very long period.

I discovered that the way you build your shocks also makes a difference. Old news for many but for me new. I always followed Tamiya with their instructions of filling the shocks with oil but... YouTube showed several movies that there are other ways. The piston low when filling or halfway or high. Magic.

My CC01 and CC02 with 55T motors run for hours on a 3000 mA NiMH battery. And in many years I never had to replace a body.

To give some ideas about adding the camouflage netting.
