Hey "Slot Dudes".

Just to experiment with different classes which may then run through for a full 2018 season =

This Monday is Hot Hatchback Challenge!

The Club will be providing 4 x identically tuned/track prepared Slot Cars, so there can be ZERO discrepancy

regarding rules & dark areas etc of tuning.

All the cars will be fitted up with a Lexan interior / GT "Orange Can" motor (Fast) / 10* Brass Pinion & Slot.it Tinned Braids.

Each Car Will Be Ballasted Out, So They Will ALL Weigh Within 0.3'gramms of each other.

Racers will pick their car "Out Of The Hat" & will stay with that car for the nights racing

Once i'v sussed out how to post images = i shall do so

Cheers

Nice line up!

But what happened to the green leon you were preparing? Did you finish it painting/decorating?

The Seat Leon Hot Hatchback Is Coming On To Well To Rush It

I'll Gently Rub It Back A Tiny Bit For Just One More Top-Coat Green Enamel Spray

I've Some Orange Decal Sheeting Coming Through For Its Sports Stripe

I'll Be Spraying The Front Splitter & Rear 'Aero-Chassis' With The Same Green Too

It's Bl**dy FAST On The Track!

Bit More Tweaking Here & There & It's A Flyer!
