JK GT1 at WSMCR

[WSMCR-Plucka]

We begin out adventure into JK GT1 racing Tuesday night and going by the primary numbers this is going to be a bucketload of fun and we have enticed one of our racers that does not usually lexan cars to come and race.

If you would like to come and race with your Hornsby car then you will need to change the wires or come a little early and we will swap them for you.

Tuesday the 16th at 7:30pm

Cheers

Plucka

Hi Plucka,
Do you have any regs for this class?

I tried to fathom what it's all about from the MR forum, but seems like Peter is still in developement mode.
I got a fair idea, but it seems that there is a bit of discretion required by the track owner.

So, if I wanted to build a car to run with you guys, what do I need?

[WSMCR-Plucka]

This is what we have so far (yes pretty much identical to King willys)

Falcon 7 GT1

CHASSIS:
1. JK Cheetah 7 .030" only. Part #JK25017
2. No chassis modifications except for a motor and/or axle brace made from piano wire/brass tube or a Slick 7 EDM equivalent.
3. The front axle may be soldered in place at the pillow blocks and/or replaced with .062" piano wire.
4. Motor mounting tabs must be retained; oilite recess may be enlarged to allow improved gear mesh.
5. Front wheel retainers may be soldered in place.
6. Tape may be used to aid chassis performance.
7. "Shaker tubes" may not be used to mount the body

BODY:
JK 4" GT1 LMP bodies only.

GEARS:
Any commercially available un-modified 48 or 64 pitch 1/8" or 3/32.

WHEELS:
Front minimum diameter 1/2" aluminium replacement wheels with O ring tyres.
Rears: any 1/8" or 3/32.

AXLES:
Front - Max. diameter 1/16". Rear - 1/8" or 3/32 solid only. Oilites only. may be soldered or glued in place.

MOTOR:
JK Falcon 7 motor only. Part #JK30207


The chassis rule may change to allow more (similar that what peter has suggested) but you can buy a JK "kit" car that has a cheetah 7 chassis and falcon motor with the gt1 lmp body.


Its a suck it an see and ill do some practice with a champion or slotworks to see if there is a big difference.

Good stuff, thanks for posting.

Hey Plucka,

looks like you need more practice on your own track to keep up with the local racers ...

Here's some food for thought ... RacerX and I are formulating a 24 hour Enduro next May
using almost the same cars as mentioned here. Just keep an eye on the Mrslotcar forum
for race details as we will be finalising them over the following weeks. Because we want
interstaters to have enough time to get ready and book their travel and accomodation etc.

[WSMCR-Plucka]

Yeah i had a barry last event as i was trying some tyres and gear changes and they made the car horrible.

We will have a few guys at HSC tonight racing GT1 for some fun so we will see how we go there.

Will keep an eye on the 24 hour deal.
