Carl, lets pretend im a new person coming into the sport, what would you recommend running at your track as in chassis brand, chassis length, armature timing, armature dia., armature wind, tyre type, rim dia., body type etc etc.

So i can pass on this info to others

Hi Cody,

I can tell you what the winner of the past two years "Race in Rocky" and current open race record holder (1047 laps) used.

Alpha steel chassis, Voki eight mag set up, Koford 95 arm, Alpha Big hub Medium Wonder rubber tyres and Alpha Nissan body.

See you at the ADC,

Geoff

Cody,
You shouldnt have to ask with all the experience in slot car racing that both you and wayne have
but what geoff said is a good start

No no no Carl,

You've got it all wrong - way too much Koford and not enough Alpha!!!!

Geoff
(1041 laps)

[FC RACING]

Sorry Geoff
I will try harder to use more Alpha products in the future
If it's any consolation all my arms are balanced by Alpha

Carl, What is the braid recess now?????????
Wayne

[FC RACING]

Wayne the recces is aprox .015
the width of recces is what changed it is now 19mm wide there is no chance the guide can ride up on it and the braid is away from the slot which is what i believe was a major problem the guides would pick it up in the tight corners causing bumps
Red is as easy as orange now

Cody,

If I was you I would run a short 513 chassis - Koford Peugeot cut maybe 132 by 28 - and possibly
a 64 arm - should be a bullet.

Me - 414Z at 4.375, body fox 138 by 30 - 84.5 koford arms and 85 PK's,

Hope that helps.
