    Brabham BT46 Policar gearbox conversion for Scalextric models How to: So as ever you will need a donor car. Scalextric helpfully gave me a pre-production prototype so some of my photos show that. In order to check final fit I also converted my liveried car once it had arrived. Please note...

    So I built this car from the white kit as I thought I was going racing at a club this year. That never happened so this car is surplus to requirements. I'm looking to recoup the white kit cost although obviously I bought decals and spray cans to finish it... I carefully sprayed the chassis...

    Hi folks, Although I've carved a couple of balsa bodies and sprayed them I've never taken a block of board and carved a mould for resin casting. These days in some of the proxies of your not carving your own bodies you can't get a good concourse result so I thought it was time to have a go...

    Tyrrell P34 Policar gearbox conversion for Scalextric 1976 model How to: So as ever you will need a donor car. Currently I think Scalextric have only released the car as a twin set so you have a choice of either car or both! This conversion is reversible for the Scalextric P34. 1...

    Tyrrell P34 build how-to A. Parts required for this build: 1. Complete kit from Pendle Slot Racing: This comes with all wheels, tyres, chassis, body parts and drivetrain.

    Yesterday I began to think about building a late '60's F1 from the so called 3L period. The only shell I had that would be appropriate was a Dave Jones Lotus 25, bought from him back in 2011 at Early Birds. I have never really studied this period of cars so it took me a little research to...

    For the Hawthorne Park Policar GP in November i've decided to convert a March by removing the side pods and front wings and add the small spoiler as Mario ran in this race. In order to differentiate from the to works cars STP had Mario's car painted in day glo red as per their Indy cars of the...

    This conversion is one of the simpler ones. SRC have made a nice model so rather than replace all the rear end detail I have opted to keep it. This does mean that the large cylinder covering the original crowngear remains present but overall I think this is a reasonable compromise. You will...

    This is a how-to for converting a Scalextric Brabham BT26 into a Policar racer. The Scalextric model I have has a few minor defects that the other Scalextric cars don't have. I'm not sure if this was a batch problem or is a defect of the whole model design. I found that the back of the body is...

    Like it says, just prototyping this chassis to make this car competitive with the other Policars. Andi

    This is a how-to for converting a Scalextric Mclaren M7C into a Policar racer. I have chosen to convert the Yellow Surtees car: But these other liveries are all convertible: This makes a really nice, smooth and quick handling car. So this is how I did it and should form a clear guide...

    This is a how-to for converting a Scalextric Lotus 49 into a Policar racer. Background The Scalextric Lotus 49 has been around for about a decade now and although I've designed conversions for most other F1 cars on the market (Scalextric, Fly/Slotwings and SRC) I overlooked the possibility of...

    As the Policar GP nears I started to look for a nice car for my son to enter in the scrathbuild and compatible chassis race on the Saturday. Given that there are still so many March 761/771 models being released I thought i'd get him one of the No.10 Brazilian GP 1976 driven by Lella Lombardi...
