Any advice for chipping Drop Arm NSRs?

Hi All,

I recently treated myself to an NSR Corvette.

It's a rocket ship in analogue mode.

As per the title and I can't see a neat way to chip it as the guide drop arm is located where I'd normally fit the slot-it chip.

Any advice on getting this car up and running for ARC Pro?

There's this here: https://www.slotforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=95865

The Surechange guide option that Greg linked to won't work with an unmodified ARC Pro - the sensor has to come after the guide - but Dr_C has been doing great work on this which is in the ARC Pro sub-forum here: https://www.slotforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=179738

Have fun with the rocket ship

There is another one of mine in the Chipping Database that shows an NSR with a drop-arm but the photos are missing from the post. I have now found them and will get them reinstated shortly ........ ;)

I have a few surechange guides but am holding off on the Dr_C option until the next version with pit lane sensor support.

So for now I'm looking for a non-surechange solution.

There's plenty of non-Surechange advice and pics for the NSR drop-arm on that thread.

Indeed - I've been trawling through it for the last hour. :)
Thanks!

NSR - Audi R18 Bosch-Mahle #2
Another hot car but again added because it has quite a large drop-arm and required a different approach to the Scoobee with the shorter arm.

The hole for the LED is visible above the screw driver and there was a huge amount of movement in this arm ... ? really necessary.

The drop-arm had to be removed to cut a small semi-circular hole to allow the LED freedom of movement.

It is very unlikely that the arm will need to move more than this as the wire will snag inside the body if there is too much of it.

Fortunately, there is not a full cockpit in the NSR so this amount of wire is OK.

The C7005 was uprated with TNB mosfets and diodes

Hope this helps ...........
