Re: Wheel Base - Question
From your pic angle looking down.. it looks like you have some toe out and toe in issues. - This is due to the Fish Eye Lense. also hard to tell which way the front of your car facing with the carbon fiber cover? ( to me I'm guessing the front of the car is facing to the left.) - That is correct. A...

I have been looking at items from different sales site, eBay, and even some of the cars that have been shown on here. Is there a reason that the Wheelbase isn't longer than 5"? Below is how I completed the wheels for my last street beast. Am I missing something? This is how i've been doing the ...

Re: I didn't start the fire
Is there a reason you aren't extending the wheel base? Is that part of your rule set? How are you able to use something other than pine for the body? Could you send me a detailed layout for the ladder body? dimensions etc? Some other questions I have, where should I get pine wood for blocks. I am ge...

Badder Ladder - Realized
You might remember my racer from last year. I enjoyed a mix of design and speed. Well, the results were too much design and not enough speed. I was taken to the mat by another adult, actually quite a few, I think I landed MAYBE in the top 5. https://i.imgur.com/hMEcyEE.jpg https://i.imgur.com/cP1gIh...

Re: Tips for winning the SLOWest Car?
We just had our race, and had one young lady going for the turtle award. Its named after her Grandfather, and his driving skills. We used the same rules for the fast cars.

Re: GP RaceManager Questions
One more comment regarding: * Top Speed and New Record Pop-Ups, none of this occurred throughout the night and I know we set some new records. These lists likely got filled up while you were testing, so times from the actual event no longer qualified. The key for avoiding this situation is to use &...

Re: AWANA Grand Prix 2022
Holy Cow Whoda. My kids and wife are going Gaga over it.
When I told them the engine was pine too I think one of them fainted.
