Avant Pescarolo

There are two - they look the same but one is a special with lightweight interior and other things. No, I can't tell the difference either.

They are both fitted with 27k Hurricane motors and seem to be happy with the diode upgrade on the F1 chips.

I chipped my AUTOart Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII WRC with a normal size chip. It was a bit tricky...

Check it out at my blog.

I finally got around to chipping the new Jaguar. Originally I thought that there would be loads of space but the space in the side pods is mostly taken up by the cockpit. My strategy required a re-think as the inline motor filled what space there was in the front.

I wanted to leave as much free space in the front as I could so I moved the Ferrite man back to sit in the side pod. This also a neat way to extend either the pickup or motor wires.

The LED was a tight fit just in front of the motor. The ends were carefully splayed to allow for the drive shaft full freedom of movement.

All the main wiring is now in place, I just need to add the wiring for the lights, as this is an Incar-Pro chip I needed a full set.

The front lights can be seen and the chip fitted snugly in the back tacked in place with some hot glue. The rear lights can also be seen to the right.

All back together again ..... and off he goes.

Hi Greg.
So you made id 1 week earlier than I. I used instead an F1 chip and mount in by the drivers side. I will try to post pictures in the afternoon.

Regards

Hi Anthony, I saw you pictures in your other thread ....... nice job

Which chip upgrade are you referring too, I've just brought a few avant slots and would love to run with the 27K motor, otherwise I will have to fit a lower rated motor.

Thanks

Hi Colin,
To run the 27k and the 25k motors I uprated the 4 diodes, these are the ones marked FS1A. These exists on the saloon, F1 and the DPR chips.

Great care needs to be used when removing them as they have been glued in place and it is very easy to rip the fragile copper tracks off the PCB. The other problem, and it is bl@@dy annoying, is when you try and hold the little blighters in place before you apply the heat and they suddenly ping past your ear never to be seen again Think of it like playing the child's game of tiddly winks ........ except that it costs you every time you miss.

If I have a bit of spare time when I chip or re-chip a car, I tend to uprate the diodes as a matter of course. The reason being that the new ones are more efficient and use less voltage which means that it gives you a bit more grunt

Cheers - Greg

hi
i would say Greg quite a bit more grunt.

There was a noticable difference in the F1 chips you did for me.

Hi,
I am new to chipping Scalextric cars and wondered if anybody can help me.
I want to chip a Disney Lightning McQueen car and any advice as to which chip to use etc would be most welcome.
Many Thanks

[Ian B]

Scott,
Firstly welcome to the forum it's a great place to be. I'm a bit out of date when it comes to chipping but I'm sure most of the basics remain the same take a look here it should give you a guide if nothing else, I'd still recommend the saloon chip but that's just me

[Ade]

hi
with bleep on this one,wherever there is room always go for the saloon chip,it is much better and more reliable..

If space is tight then opt for the f1 chip but make sure you have capacitors at the pick up feet and more importantly at the motor end...

Both of the above refer to the solder in chips rather than the dpr variety which need a trapdoor in the chassis to work..

[scottbarbery]

Thanks for the help guys. I am mid way through chipping a 4x4 Focus RS but bought the Lightning McQueen for my girlfriend a few days ago and want to do that before I finish my RS. I will let you know how I get on.
Thanks Again

Avant Slot - Subaru Impreza No.3 Ojeda
This car is slightly different than most of the ones that I chip because it has a short drop arm, it's not particularly difficult to do.

The LED hole had to be drilled slightly further back than normal because the arm was offset.

The green & yellow wires were removed from the chip and replace with existing wires which I kept just long enough to reach comfortably to the chip. The motor wires were also shortened.

A quick run on my Display-Pro test track revealed this 4WD car to be very grippy and surprisingly fast with fantastic, easily controllable tail waggling ...... well worth buying

Hello, I not shure if this is the right place to ask....I chipped the ASTON MARTIN DBR9 red bull from SCX with the saloon chip of scalextric, exactly as described in one of the above replies......but.......it blew up after tree rounds. Anybody else had this issue with SCX motors? I chipped an auto art Mustang with the F1 chip, no problems, The scalextric CAMARO with the saloon chip, no problem.

Snif...was not able to drive it last night. Should I swap out the motor for a slot it? and install a slot it chip?

Thx

Next project for chipping is the DB5 from scalextric!

regards

Ivan

[Ade]

hi
yes the scx cars will blow the scaley chips. It may be possible to replace the scx motor with a scaley one or someone might be able to uprate the chips for you

other than that you could go the slot-it route.
