Here's an easy way to get involved... Take a lot of photos of your plans and build. God knows, we will comment more than you need! With 3000 guys cheering you on, you'll be fine. If I can get George Turner to respond to my many emails (because HRW guys helped get his attention), you can handle this ...

I second that.

You get all kinds of theories about the reason for one polarity or another when you get a bunch of slot car guys together. All I know is that negative grounding is standard for many things all around the world, including the car in your driveway. Is that relevant? I don't know! I never go to a comme...

There ya go! Depend on HRW.

I did the search- worldwide- just go to Pattos, and get used to the wait for delivery from Australia. The other sources are all gone. Or do a great fantasy livery- This car is ripe for fun stuff. My order is in process.

Harry, I assume you are doing your usual thorough job of making photos of the chassis, etc? Other than just building a chassis that will work and look proper, I am wondering if there might be a fix for the plastic chassis (including a proper motor), as a sort of short cut. We already know that scale...

I suspect the only viable solution is what we said at first- its 2 parts, lower the axle and get rid of the rear wheels and tires. You can easily make inserts from the plastic wheels, and swap the motor if its necessary after making the rear drive so much smaller.

I wanted to be the hero that figures this one out, but when I began shopping for one... I bought another Javelin instead. Frankly, I'm not sure I would want the car with all the body errors, Mr. Bubblehead included, even after coming up with something amazing to fix the chassis/rear wheel nonsense. ...

I bought two kinds, and that's one of them. They work just about alike. I got the other one because it had what looked like an easier to use lamp.

You just keep on making me turn green with envy. I think its some kind of salad plot...

I ordered the wrong Javelin from SCC. I already had the other Javelin, and screwed them up. I emailed SCC that night (at 940pm!) and asked if it was too late to fix it. FIVE minutes later, Bob & Steve wrote back, and took care of my mistake. I am astonished. The car came today, along with Dum-Du...

I wish you better luck than I had with front wheel drive. I wound up disassembling the whole thing and making it rear wheel drive, but it couldn't get to the proxy in time by the time I finished it.

We have a guy amongst our little group who more or less collects controllers, and he has tried to educate me about these things. I barely understand what he has taught me, and now there's a controller that has even more things to adjust while trying to keep the car on the track. What kills me is tha...
