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!

Weirdest thing I did was to mount a sidewinder motor so that it partially pivoted in the mounting brackets under torque action. The torque under braking applied "brake shoes" against the rear tires. Did it work? Of course not!
Hey... I was young back then!
