munter Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 One thing that this group has never been good at is sorting out a new class of cars to race. I have seen confusion, wasted expenditure and bad feelings in the past. I have sold most of my club cars and often think of returning but......

big dennis Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 Mac - the Portuguese 3D chassis maker whose name I couldn’t remember last night, is Olifer. Facebook https://www.facebook.com/olifer.pt They sell through Shapeways unfortunately, so a bit expensive, but good product." Greetings Hawkes Bay.te Not sure what you blokes might be looking for but there is an EBay seller in Spain Mini Racing Studios who makes quite a range of 3DP chassis and other parts ... predominantly for Ninco. A few months ago I purchased chassis for Ninco Mosler and Ferrari 360 plus a few replacement wings for Ninco DTM cars. The chap is great to deal with and created a 'custom package' part number that included all the items I ordered so that I only had to pay a single postage charge. (that option was not available through the formal system) , And compared to some Spanish sellers who start at $40-plus for postage, the MRS charges were very reasonable. Also I'd like to mention that I enjoy your race reports and video clips. Den 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slotmadmac Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 Thanks for the info Den. Appreciate that and have looked up the Spanish Mini crew. As far as our roster is concerned, I’m pretty happy to go with the flow - but my thoughts are that we should probably stay with 12 classes at this point. You can run Thunderslots in our 65-80 class (I think this class is one of our most popular) I can’t believe I am typing this…. but I would be happy to drop Scalex F1s for NSR / Scaleauto F1s. They are so good to run and we can race them on reduced voltage on the smaller tracks. Unless you’re running next to Gary, carnage shouldn’t be an issue. I generally think we have a pretty good mix of classes - with something for everyone. Personally I would love to see us start over and adopt all the national classes - but that’s never going to happen. So let’s just keep rocking on. I imagine every racing group has issues sorting out classes. Our debates are just a bit more public, because we do them here. Let’s always remember that we’re just a bunch of geeks racing cars on sheds. No one has more say than anyone else. We’re not a club. There is no hierarchy.

Bingo Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 Gents just a heads up re parking up here on race nights. Since we moved in residents have been progressively filling the car park as is their right. The result is that on race night we could shut residents outs which happened tonight. Can i ask if you would park at the school in future and walk down between the two houses as indicated, it is a short walk. A small inconvenience.
