I don't suppose you have a bagful of NC-1s for me? Hmmmm?

Russkit was great. I still have a few motors in their original boxes from them, including a purple 26D. I should get them out and run them just to see.

Great job, BTW. If I were to pay someone to build one for me, that is exactly what I would be hoping for.

I knew I was going to regret saying that. Now I have to go dig through 55 years of slot car stuff to find out... yeah, like I don't love doing that! I'll know pretty soon what that rascal is. There's also some "Bobcat" motors I think were for drag racing, and some rough looking Cox motors,...

I believe I was told that the oil in Oilites is to keep the bearing from overheating, not specifically to lubricate. That would explain why the instructions for Oilites always includes lubrication.

Is the body mount looser? Check the posts for cracks or even a missing screw. It might even have shifted its drive gear to a better position.

Oh yeah! We'll get three or four more pages out of arguing about that. Excellent comment.

I found the box. There was a lot more in there than I remembered. The three motors on their boxes were never used, and the two that look like the 26D are actually blue, not purple, so I put them close to the 26D to show the difference. I have no idea what they are. There were some very nasty old Pit...

One of the gray/silver ones is a Revell (turned to face the Champions, you can almost see the label sticker), and as far as I know, the 26D came in the Classic box it is sitting on. The blue ones are 16D's of some sort, no marking at all. Back in the 1970s, a lot of guys were giving up and I bought ...

Unfortunately, I have all of them, but it needs to be said... THESE ARE ALL PRICED WELL. All of them are bargains, and it needs to be said, as there has been a trend toward overly optimistic pricing lately. Good for you, Dog. By the way, those BMW Grp 5 cars will really fly around a track with very ...

I'll take the NSU. I love those little guys. Same Paypal?

All set, Paul.

Impulse- When you get the chance, do get a couple of these little gems. More fun than a tubfull of puppies.

It was a Cold War product of East Germany that was mostly sold in Russia. For years and years it was a 500cc two-stroke twin cylinder that left a blue smoke trail behind it even when brand new. 30 years or so later they got a 4 cylinder 1000cc engine from VW. The roof, trunk lid, hood, fenders and d...

Stunning paint and finish, as always. Keep 'em coming!

That 1940 Chevy coupe turns me on. $70 is a lot, though, and my onsite experience of postal affairs in South America is that you must pay top dollar if you want to see the package. A number of my letters home arrived after I had been home over a month. At one time, DHL was available, strictly air fr...
