Derby Talk

Now if I find out the car is fast I will look into changing my screen name on DT :D Soon to be...Dr. Fourfingers :thinking: Maybe? Also did anyone notice the tiny notch in the nose of the car? That's my idea to help the stager line up the front of the car. Maybe it will help. Seth Nope.. I missed i...

Thank's to your advice about Dog trotting and how to keep the back wheels off the rail.

Paul,
In scale it's 1:24th, The WD-40 can makes it look small in the photos though.

I have heard of people useing nail polish in the area your talking about. To make a hard or smooth/slick surface for the hub contact areas. As for the rear wheel marks your seeing. Something tells me at some point in the race thay will rub the sides of the car body. Mostly when the weight is lifted ...

Yep, that's it. When I was a kid, I played it on our "Goofy Greats" 8-track tape over and over and over. In college, we listened to the Dr. Demento show every Sunday night, and he played it quite a bit. Well i know were way off topic. Thought you might like to here it played once more for...

Are you going to make a screwdriver as the next item in the set? ;) I like the idea of a screwdriver car.. Darin has one on his site. :idk: maybe a Beltsander car (wood) be a nice challenge.
