Australian Slot Car Racers Association

I've been slowly tinkering away at this project and have finally scanned all 13 issues of Australian Slot Car Review, with 3 being formatted and uploaded.

Australian Slot Car Magazines

More will be uploaded as I get time.

Many thanks to Tony Anderson for providing the magazines for scanning.

Thanks as usual Mark, for the report and piccies.

It was great to be back on the track with a good group, and friendly racing.

Also, thanks to James, Joe and Greg marshalling.

I had a chat with James at HSC tonight, and the approved body lists on the HSC website are the ones to be used for all HSC events. James did agree that there is no list for Coupes, and I asked about there being no Parma bodies listed in the HSC Can-Am or F1 regs, although he is selling them, and tha...

Brad, I agree, usually the 'best' racers usually prevail. Those guys who do all the testing, adjusting, and re-testing seem to have all the luck, eh!! I like the handout motor idea, and have participated in a few races where the motors were very even overall. Some start off a bit slower than others,...

Seeing as I needed a sit down for a rest, I thought I'd re-read this thread to see if my thoughts had changed, and the only thing that came to mind, is to suggest 'hand out' motors for enduro's and major events. Also, seeing as James (or any SSME guys) have not chipped in, has any of this discussion...

Please don't turn this thread into a Ti22 debate. Or any other body type for that matter. That was not the intent of it. We just need a workable Approved Body list for HSC events. Neil, I agree that there are many bodies listed, that are no longer available. That list was compiled more than 10 years...

Approved for use at HSC events?

Brad, no need to be sorry, no dramas mate.

Yeah, its looking like Mark's lists from IRRA & SCRRA will be the go, unless we hear otherwisw.

Brad, sorry I don't follow!! What are you referring to? The point of me starting this thread, is to try and determine what bodies I can use at HSC. From Mark's race reports, it looks to be like the HSC "Approved Body List" isn't being observed with races at HSC. And my being out of the sce...

Greg, True..
I reckon the Ti22 should be banned....

Hi Mark, thanks for your response, and yes, I'm hoping to run as much Retro as I can this year. It appears that some of those (IRRA or SCRRA) bodies have been used at HSC, but don't appear to be on the HSC list. Also, I don't see any approved bodies for Can-Am Coupe?!? :shock: Hi James Colefax, can ...

OR, are the bodies listed in this thread, acceptable for use at HSC??

Happy New Year... Hi all, I'm wanting to re-body some of my cars, and I'm looking at the HSC "Approved Body" list, and don't see some of the bodies that racers appear to have been using. So I checked with the IRRA® Website, seeing as where that's where we developed our rules from 10+ years...

Greg, the SRC was instigated by HSC, so it was logical that the HSC regs be used.

Shaker tubes are loose fitting pin tubes on a chassis. When the body is fitted to the chassis with pins, the tubes can move (shake), providing movement to the body. Check out the scratchbuilt F1 chassis in this post. The same thing can be done with flexi chassis, by drilling out the body clip holes ...
