Slot It challenge round 5 will take place on the 24th and 25th of October at Wolves.
Club Address Wolverhampton Slot Car Club Claregate Centre - Aldersley Stadium, Aldersley Leisure Village,Aldersley Road, Wolverhampton, West Midlands, WV6 9NW Practice day will be on the 4th October 10:00am till 4:00pm Saturday Doors open 10:00am - 4:00pm Sunday Doors open 9:00am - till finish Contacts: Malcolm Scotto 07740717140 Track Infomation Lanes: 4 Length: 100ft Surface: MDF Sandtex Rails: Copper tape Power: 13.8v Transformer. Set up Tips Chassis Offset sidewinder motor mount with or without suspension. Track is smooth so no big advantage either way. Tyres P4 and P6 are the usuall suspects here. Depends on the driver. Motors The 35K scaleauto can be used to make time up on the straights but can be a handfull throught the twisty bits. If you want a car that is nice and steady but still competitive then, either the Slot it 29k/3 of Scaleauto 28K. The Scaleauto yellow 25k longcan also works well as a Anglewinder in Mclarens or Jags. Audi raws also a quick car. Guides I think Cut down deep guides will work but I prefure the standard grey guide. Cars As for cars I think it will be a grid of Mclarens, Jags and Audi Raws. Accomodation Premier Inn Wolverhampton (M54 J2) Greenfield Lane Stafford Road Wolverhampton West Midlands WV10 6TA T: 08701 977 277 F: 01902 785260 Friday - Sunday From £52 per room per night Meal The Evening meal (TBC) by Malcolm soon -------------------- |

Thanks Nick,
Nothing much to add to Nick's set up tips; Most home drivers will use P6 tyres. If you use the Scaleauto 35/36K and the true speed controller, gear it 10-34. Nick's reference to deep guide being cut down, means shorten its length slightly so as not to bind on the inside lane at the hairpin, the track is fully routed so can cope with the depth. The club also has a strict 'dry tyres to the track' policy. See you all there. Kind Regards Bill. |

Having started preparing the new Slot It Mazda i have already managed to break the rear spoiler while attempting to remove it.
Fantastic detail but no good for racing. The solution looks simple.With minor modification to the body post the spare spoiler from the Jaguar XJR9 makes an almost perfect replacement and is a lot stronger. My suggestion is to allow the Mazda to race in the SIC with this mod'. -------------------- Negative criticism usually comes from those who attempt nothing more in life than "sitting on the fence".

I have spoken to Sean and i am waiting for clarification. which he will post on this thread.
Hopefully it will be a yes as it is a really easy and sensible modification to do and would prevent a lot of problems. -------------------- Negative criticism usually comes from those who attempt nothing more in life than "sitting on the fence".
