We race the Revo Porsche GT2 class . Only things we can do is wood guide . Optional to change the pinion and spur gear to plafit in the same ratio 12/33 ,change the tires to any Revo compound for the normal or wide wheels and glue and true the tires . Awsome running cars .

We have a HOST Race next weekend. We have 3 Classes each Race (monthly). We have limited pit space so we are asked to keep it reasonable. For Christine and I, I bring a min of 2 cars per race per person. So 12 cars are ready on raceway! And Chris and I like similar set-ups! I still tear my hair out. Group C is the worst@ I love those cars.....I have SO many choices.

My 1/32 analog club races Revos regularly, and hands down the preferred car is the Marcos. Ugly as it is, it's as low as a Thunderslot Can-Am with the shortest wheelbase of any Revo. The Marcos cars out-perform everything else.

Thanks Rex! It is interesting how tracks are different.. and how different cars like different layouts. The Repsol Marcos is a good looking car!

Marty: Caveat, I have never competitively raced any of my multiple Revoslots. Like you I just time trial them at home. I have found that spacers under axle holders lowering the car to 1 mm and some tire tweet oil treatment polishing and softening the rear have been my 2 significant valvations of note to offer you.

Good morning Marty. In terms of the braids on your Porsche 911 a brass-brush is pretty usefull to comb the braids to clean them up. Pull the brush towards the rear. A drop of oil onto the braids would also help cleaning them from time to time. But just a small drop though. I use Ballistol for that. The oil will help cleaning the track-rails that way , as well. The 911 is pretty tail-happy im the curves, so maybe a little extra weight behind the rear-axxle could help in that case. Try it out. If not, improove your driving skills with it. Means slow down a bit with it inseide the curves. Also a different guide-keel could help. Frankenslot and Slotinvasion do have those as spare-parts. I prefer the Frankenslot guide-keels. They are good and i don`t have any experience with the Slotinvasion ones. It is a try out thing. Have a nice Saturday and a fine 1 Advent tomorrow. :-)

I need to pick up a small brass brush for that Bo! Yes, the 911 has always been a bit tail happy.. I have tried weight and it doesn’t like it.. just slows it down. But I won’t give up!! The car looks too good to not get the handling right! As always, thanks Bo!

Hi Marty, yes, I think deslotting settles it. The Ferrari is wider and has a lower centre of gravity than the Porsche. Maybe swap the motors out if the Porsche seems a bit quicker?

@@twolinesslotcars - otherwise, it sounds to me like the new Revoslot Toyota GT1s are just itching for their own club class. They look fantastic and if everyone gets one then it will be a 'win' for your lovely local 'Cincyslots' and, most certainly, this goes more than 90% towards dialling 'car' out of finding who is the best driver. As the blacks and gulf blues will no doubt prove popular then mine would be the yellow one :)

That close, I’d go for the one that stays in the slot. Can’t win if you ain’t runnin’! That Porsche sound super smooth though! Maybe adjust the controller a bit for the Porsche when you are on Bruce’s track. Never added weight to a Revoslot yet. Maybe bevel the tires on the 911 a bit?

I’ll add that I have seen lowering the rear end a tad helps with grip. Add a piece of tape or thinnest spacers you have between the rear axle blocks and chassis. I also replace the guide with a SlotInvasion - not for depth, but the thickness settles the front nicely. Good luck at Cincy!

Saturday Morning Coffee with Marty! The Porsche also seemed to be a little more tail happy through the corners. The only extra thing I do is apply a little Slick 7 Voodoo lube (which I believe you use too) to the braids for a better contact to the rails. Another great video. Thank you Marty!
