Eno the Wonderdog Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I'm getting the power to the lanes working first, apparently you'd removed the wires to allow the track to work without the computers but that the timing will still work or something. I dunno - I'm just laughing and having a ball with the boys doign stuff..

Davnic74 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I had set it up so the power only need be connected and it would go RED WIRE, BLACK WIRE.

mtpanorama Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I explained to the missus that I'm adding some bar stools and a bar fridge to the setup before it's done.. I was in enough trouble for that. ..I haven't mentioned I need a TV & couch down there for race days yet.. Forget the bar stools and couch, it's hard enough to get marshals as it is.

gazza Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Picked up this little item today It's primarily a trimmer, but can be used (at a pinch) as a router Just started rebating some of the rally sections to replace the tape with braid and it's ideal for any tight sections Quote Quickly read this post before it is deleted or i turn grey again Gary http://www.facebook.com/Rallyproxy2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slots Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Got one already and can be used easily as router. Did the door track with it as the bigger one bit too much. Quote Stu Old racers race harder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 My First track was routed using this exact router, and did not have a problem.. This is my second one, the first one did my original 24mtr 3 lane track + all the mods, and the first 2 rally tracks, ended up burning it out ages ago Quote Quickly read this post before it is deleted or i turn grey again Gary http://www.facebook.com/Rallyproxy2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neophytte Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Yep, I picked up one of these for doing my rails on the HO track; with this jig I was able o make a more accurate cut than with a bigger router: My only beef with it is that there is no adjustable speed controller :starwars: Which was needed for routing perspex for the intended bridge ...

Davnic74 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 (edited) You will need a Dremel.

eagleby flyer Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Superglue is my number one tool box item and I found this oil syringe at a train shop. It has a long needle like tube and when you squeeze the plastic body it lets you put oil into very tight or small spaces. A magnetic screw driver is helpful.

stargate_SG1 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 i was just re -reading the whole thread and the word superglue seems to be mentioned most of the time,,,,,,,,, it was a good buy to get the aluminium case they selling at supercheap auto because super glue was always mentioned, i put one little tube in my box............ just when i was going to pack up to go out to race........ due to unknown reasons , my box got stuck forever . i had to use a dremel to cut it open. upon closer inspection, i noticed that the lid was shut tgether by superglue . the tube seemed to sprung a leak and it flowed right through and seeped into the crevices. carefull with those little tubes mates . no harm done to the cars but need a few more little tools again........ probably a screw or driver must have poked a little hole in its side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve61 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I always seem to be going to the local hardware or hobby shop every weekend to buy more tools for this hobby. There must be a point where you have enough of them and can make do Intersted to hear what people regard as the essential tools for the sloter's toolbox? I know it depends on what part of the hobby you are into - club racing, metal chassis's, scratchbuilding, or just racing scaleys at home with mates, but there must be a set of essentail tools we all have in common. I'll list what what I think Basis items 1. Good 3mm screwdriver set 2. Good set of allen keys 3. Long nose pliers and sidecutters 4. hobby knife 5. Pinion puller (Ninco) 6. Jeweller's files 7. Range of glues - Araldite, superglue, contact etc 8. Vernier calipers 9 Paints and brushes 10. Steel rule 11. Hobby scissors 12. Small hobby vice 13. Car setup block 14. Feeler gauges 15. Lube oil and braid conditioner with needle applicator 16. Sandpaper Nice to have 1. Dremmel 2. Tyre truer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
