i went down to my model shop yesterday and they had loads of good deals on, so im trying to decide what to get. either the
fly lola (£20)
or the fly 911 evo2 rs (£25)

im at the moment leaning towards the rs coz its usually £35 and i need a good non magnet car.......
suggestions?

Go for non-mag cars and press gang all your friends into doing the same!
Loads more fun at sensible speeds with much less damage to cars!

I spent a couple of hours working on my 911 Evo2 RS to get it going properly. I was really frustrated with it at first, but it is now my best non-mag car.

I have both; I prefer the Fly Porsche RS Evo2 , without mag, with a V12 29000 (or Scaleauto 35000) , NSR wheels and tyres, and some lead under the rear axle and on the sides of the chassis : very fast and strong.

RS every time.

bought one.. within a week went to wolves came 10th out of 50, not having raced on the track for about 4 years, I didnt do too bad.

want to know the spec? slot it rear axle sipa10's and black crown with slot it P2's wow thats it! beat a lot of guys with quicker cars and older and more experiance.. now time to get a point back from 250GTO I beat him at wrexham, he beat me at wolves... hmm

My advice is to buy the Lola B98 because it's a car that will race both with and without magnet very well.
Recently at my first outting on a wood track I came second in field of 19 racers with the B98/10. I beat plenty of RS Evos but the winner was also one.
On scaley track the B98 is the fastest car we have of a range of about 130 cars.

so it looks like the rs has won ,question 2 being do you have to cut or modify the car in any way to get the slot it axel in the back would of thougnht that the only problem could come in the form of the tyres not getting under the body i will talk to my m8 who races slot cars (the only one i have that races) and see if we could do a couple of races for non mag cars only.....
i need to get the hang of no mag racing , i took the mag out of my nascar and it was so much more chalenging as to be unbeliveable youve got to work so hard to keep controll when it drifts as my track hasent got barriers all the way around at the moment but i think no mag racing will be a lot of fun as i get better at it, i think ill have to spend another sevral hours learning again , i used to race no mag all the time on my old cars but the tyres are so bad now they just cant be raced anymore without new tyres if anyone has a good suggestion as to where i can buy new tyres for ancient scalextric cars

Pendle Slot will supply you with the right tyres.

You have to buy the axle, the crown gear and the wheels; slot it will work; no need to cut the body or the chassis. Pendle has them all; at the front I have kept the originals well rounded. I have also changed the guide with one from slot-it, with brass insert in the chassis, as TSRF said.

while im here do u have to cut the body on the rs to get the back axel coz from the pics u posted on scg ages ago it looks like the arches are a lot wider than they need to be

 

[Intergrali]

no cutting is needed like stated, just jiggle it a bit and it will come free

Rob.

 

[compound_goose]

no i mean do u have to cut the body to get the slot it wheels and tyres on??? and will the slot it wheels & crown fit onto the existing axel?

 

[Intergrali]

NO CUTTING OF THE BODY FOR ANY TYRES ETC

you will need a new axle and bearings, a pro axle kit is what you want

Rob.

sorri

i was just wondering if i could fit the slotit crown and wheels onto the racer axel
which now i know i cant
k
proaxel kit...
this is going to have to wait a while....

 

[Intergrali]

it'll run, but when the crown gear gives up it's a a trip to the nearest computer or phone to ring (Sean) favourite e-tailer to ask for the rear axle kit
