If you coat the outside with thin CA glue, block sand,repeat as needed to get surface you want you would be able to cut more out of the interior if you want a faster rig. On the rear fenders you could thin CA the inner wheel well and shape them a lite more if you'd like. Do you have a link for CA G...

Alrighty, ladies and gents. Hope you are well in quarantine. This has given me pause and plenty of extra time to spend on the details. Thoughts appreciated. https://i.imgur.com/En3Yfie.jpg https://i.imgur.com/CN2NcSf.jpg https://i.imgur.com/3qSHqed.jpg https://i.imgur.com/lVsALFZ.jpg https://i.imgur...

I’m in the same boat as you. I don’t have an answer for how it will affect your numbers. I can tell you how we do it. Since we don’t have many tools and about 60 cars purchased this year we are doing 4 pit nights, completely optional. They are 3 hours each across a month of Saturday’s. We are provid...

I would put the timer in some very, very safe place all by itself. I have 2 identical Micro Wizard timers with an attachment for one that shows Elapsed times. They are never both in the same place or the same house. I know. My wife says I worry too much. My doctor is helping me with that. :rofl: Th...

Good Morning All. Sorry for my absence but family, ministry, and work first. Not a lot of time to play. However if you wake up early enough you can focus! May I present my Seahorse 720 buildout for holding my timer, car gage, scales, calibration weights, starting gate, and wires. It basically the k...

For me leveling the playing field is making all my tools/jigs available to all the kids participating. I don’t keep speed secrets. I openly prep/build my stuff at the workshops. I talk to the kids about what I am doing and what I used to do it. Last year was our first year but we provided paint, san...

Because there is nothing to visually scale the car I thought this thing was 18” long. The rim coloring makes the wheel look extra fat that my mind made me think they were rubber tires. What an amazing look and effect. I am really impressed.

Any clue what kind of wood the Awana blocks are?

And/or why they are all shorter than 7"

I just measured my block out and it is 6 7/8" L x 1 1/2" H x 1 3/4" W and as far as I can tell it is made of pine.

I never got time to paint it, so it just got a coat of glossy and i took a sharpie marker to it. It doesn't look like much, but it was qui...

No, as the AWANA commander I am in charge of the rules. Modification of the wheelbase is totally allowed!

I just haven’t redrilled them yet. I literally just have a block of wood 4 axles 4 wheels and a dream.

I have a scaled drawing and did a poster board mock up and put it on my official AWANA block and wheels so I could ...

So, this product seems to have disappeared off the map. No website, not on ebay/amazon. Reason I was looking was because of the Inclined Kinetics podcast. Anyone have any info on where I can locate one?

So. I realized as I was putting the track away (by the way is there a video showing you how to LEGO master builder it in?) where in the world am I going to store the timer/wiring etc? Is there another storage crate build with plans? This seems as if not more important than the track storage. Would l...
