We all had go faster ideas but who out there is willing to stand up and admit to the failed ideas .I think my biggest ever slot racing turkey was the time I turned up at southport with an electronic antilock braking system,this consisted of a relay in the brake line being switched on and off by a variable speed multi vibrator circuit ,made a great buzzing sound and did switch the brakes in and out like I designed it to , did it help ? NO!
Lets here those slot racing turkey stories now!

Pathetic!
I knew a man that drilled holes through his body work to lighten it and increase airflow!
Oh man I've had so many crazy ideas, but I can't think of any at the moment...

Wait, you know the circuits which are designed to light up brake lights on release of the throttle? Well, I was thinking of hooking a modified version up to an electromagnet in the bottom of the chassis. The core would be made up of a relativly low magenetised piece of metal, so that it would not slow the car too much on the straights. However, I never bothered to find out what rating of componants to use or how many coils... Just an idea though...

You say this about aero effects not making any difference. Have you ever lost the wing off of the back of your car? It makes a difference when driving it but I can't think it's from lost weight, because most don't even weigh a gram. Can anyone else comment on this?
