Hi All

Lots of photos to upload so here is the first batch.

Pictures from the SlotForum First Birthday Party Concourse event.

I think that's the lot, let me know if your car is not shown.

Basically they were all excellent except for mine, but i haven't built anything yet!

..thx for the pictures! Any more? I think it would be interesting for SF-members to know who built which car and which parts have been used!
FYI - Mr. Materials Subaru performed very well on Suzuka!

I want to see more pictures of the two Ferrari F355's!

Can anyone tell me where to get the awesome alloys on them, from? Cheers

[thomas]

...ask Swiss - AFAIK these are NSR-parts from Italy. Take a seat before you ask for the price of these wheels...

 

[McLaren]

I know they aren't cheap, but I want a nice set for a project of mine.

How much roughly?

Actually, they're MB and would cost 20-23 Euros a pair - but now there's a much cheaper option :

http://www.slotforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4194&hl=

- photoetched inserts + brake disks, 4 Euros for 4
- "AS Racing" rims (front/rear), 20 Euros for 4

Inserts include BBS and 18 spoke styles - brake disks come right and left handed !! (wonder what happens if you put them on the wrong way

)

McLaren the Ferrari 355s are from Italy - Max Slot - Marlborough version and was submitted by Shotslot.
The other is mine and you can get more details of it HERE.

Cars were all amazing, especially the Toyotas, Mazda and Scoobie. Thomas entered the 1/24 Merc, the picture does not do the size justice but you can see the detail it is possible to get on cars this big.

To whom it might concern
the second car from the top (red color with "Club Zed" written in yellow) is a Milan Tomasek Mazda body mounted on a TSRF chassis. It was raced in the "Bring them on" open class race.
It has a NSR crown, hollow Slot.it rear axle, MB slot AS wheels with Ortmann tires sanded down to a minimum (thanks Overdrive!), TSRF motor and indipendent TSRF front wheels.
I sprayed a little WD40 between the steel pan and the plastic chassis (thanks Doc P.!) and used it also on the braids to clean them before and after every race (4 sets of 6 min each).
No weights at all.
The car was very fast and thanks to it I came in 2nd against a bunch of Proslot Toyotas GT1 in various state of tune up and a couple of MTR's also very fast.
The winner was a very consistent Slot.it Audi masterfully weighted with lead by Slotshot.
It was a very close race with the crowd cheering and I was ecstatic being able to fight to the last tenths of a second thanks to that rocket.
I believe Prof. Fate when he says : " I am not such a fast driver but I can beat them by tuning my car well".
Let me add my best thanks to Swissracer, Nuro and Thomas for the great week end and to all the guys that were there: you are very very nice people!!!

Hey there!

I think I can safely say for everybody involved that we were all very happy to see Edo do so well in the Open Class. I hope I don't embarrass Edo by sharing the emotion that was plain for all to see when he realised that he had come second after a very smooth and consistent drive throughout his four rounds. His placing was much deserved and upon the announcement that he had indeed finished second a wonderful smile crossed his face and lasted for a good long while afterwards.

A great moment that I hope Edo doesn't mind me sharing.

Cheers,

Julian.

 

[Edo]

No Julian I do not mind: on the contrary I still get all emotional about it

Warm regards
Edo

Gareth,

What happened to the picture I badgered you into taking of the "racers-eye" view of the car as it went around the back of the trees and up to the back straight?

Mr.M

 

[JEXY1]
