my first sprint build for new series on long island
Posted: Thu Mar 06, 2014 7:27 pmThat is a sharp looking build! The red paint on the cage/chassis work REALLY sets it off!

Posted: Sat Mar 08, 2014 9:38 amThat looks great!
Is it built to fit in with the SCORE rules?
It looks like they run a really good program - coordinating with them might make sense.
Anyway, I like the look of these caged midgets and sprints - a group of them would look good on the track together.

Posted: Sun Mar 09, 2014 8:56 amWow, that's a darn good looking car. Man I like your Chassis / Cage work. This is the sort of stuff I aspire to do eventually.
That's like a work of art mate. :clap:

Posted: Fri Mar 14, 2014 10:41 amThe question regarding motor mounting - I use hot glue exclusively on most of my cars. In addition to being easy to cut out, it doesn't heat the motor as much as solder, and it provides some vibration damping... which extends motor life. Run a good bead down each side of the motor. If you get excess, let it dry, and then trim with a knife.
