  1. I've tried various browsers, and I'm fairly confident that this issue is not browser related, as the forum software produces it's own error, not a browser error. My main problem is no longer being able to put video inline. It used to automatically parse video URLs into inline video, but now it just pops an error whenever you post a video URL, and it becomes a plain link. Not the end of the world, just an annoyance. I've found no other way to make it do the inline video thing any more. I believe there are other, minor annoyances hanging around as well.

  2. I've completed the G&S Tire Grinder Setup and Use document. Much of the same information as in the video I recently posted, but with the addition of instructions on how to replace the various rubber bands on it. Please feel free to offer feedback, whether it's a typo or suggestion for better instructions somewhere. I'll update the document as appropriate, but the link will remain the same. https://www.ggaub.com/slots/GnS-Tire-Grinder-Setup-and-Use.pdf

  3. I was asked to work out the actual change in dimension according to the indicator knob. Here's the math: The 1/4-20 bolt is 20 threads per inch, so thread pitch is 1/20" (0.05" or 1.27mm). The ratio of center points (axle and knob pivot) to the axle bracket pivot point is 1.226, so the wheels move that much more than the knob does. Multiply 1.27mm by 1.226 and we get 1.55mm per full knob rotation, or 0.13mm per whole number. There are 72 notches, so each notch would be 0.0215mm.

  4. Hi Everybody No personal experience of The Area 7 products but perhaps those interested could check out Jim Rose's 'Norcal Slot Car Scene preview video on YouTube. Not sure whether Parts 2 and 3 of Jim's review are available yet. Den https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYXUWav4Gzc
