Generally speaking what is the distance you like for your front tire to be off the track?
@idwurks 4 ай бұрын
We run the front tires on the track. So the car is (for the most part) contacting the track at 5 points - the guide/braid, the front tires, and the rear tires. We also true our front tires to be perfectly round. We tend to like a level chassis front to back to be neutral handling.

Very interesting stuff. I'm just a year or so into the hobby. You seem to have a large inventory of spacers, screws, nuts, washers, etc. Is that something you have just accumulated over time, or can you actually purchase assortments of these things? Thanks and looking forward to more videos.
@idwurks 5 ай бұрын
Hey Randy - I tend to go a bit ham when those things are in the counter in front of me. I just started racing 1/32 in 2021/22 so I have been collecting parts. If I need a part, I'll usually buy a few just in case - especially bags of spacers and screws. I always give that stuff away at the track so it ends up emptying fast! I would recommend checking out SlotingPlus as they carry a HUGE amount of spacers, screws, nuts - All incredibly high quality. Good luck with your racing and thanks for the comment!

Ian, your video seres is on point & on time. I am doing the Jim Rose, Slim Can Conversion for MRSLOTCAR McLaren build so this is icing on the cake for me! Thank You, thank you, thank you! And for my first question; why did you pick the 7052 front wheels and not something lighter and or smaller like the; MRSLOTCAR MR7021 Ergal Aluminum Wheels 'ARIA' Air Ride System - 15.8 X 8.2mm - 3/32" Axle? Thank you for your time and help. Ian, 1/32 plastic cars are new to me. I started slot cars back in the mid 60's and stoped when Slot Car Junction went out of existence, so 1/32 could be my come back! PS I watched a new Y/T video to day about NSR brushless motors and the guy in the video said that Paul G. has been in Arizona working on his brushless Slot Cars! I haven't seen Paul, since 2018 or so and his name comes up in a Slot Car video today Lol...
@idwurks 5 ай бұрын
Man, SCJ. That brings back memories. I remember going there for Norcal IMCA back in the 90s - that was a throwback! I DID end up going with the 15.8x8.2 fronts because the larger fronts actually were too big! I just never updated the video - so great question. We had to run MR front and rear wheels - so we had some limitations. I tend to run the 15.8 fronts on most cars, but may start running slightly larger if the ride height permits just because the baby sized wheels look so bad! I have a Sideways AMR GT and it *needs* bigger wheels or else it looks ridiculous. I'm glad that the videos are helpful! The fact that it helps people is why I do it, and just helps energize me to do more :)

I love Electric Dreams and their dedication to slot car racing. Makes me wish I still lived in west Los Angeles. I was hoping to see Jim Rose, a NorCal racing buddy, make the field of entrants. HO rather than 1/32 scale is big up here in Oregon, with a good group of enthusiastic racers in Eugene and the Portland area.

Hey Gene, yes - Electric Dreams is the place right now. The races they/Marco are putting on are second to none. I just wish more people would travel to them from around the country! I think that's still new for 1/32 - people who travel for those races. We'll get there! I offered to provide Jim a car but he politely declined. Trying to get him out there more! GL with your racing in Portland and let me know if there's any big races up there!

Nice video bit different to how i tend to do things but all valid opinions. An option for you regarding motor security. Why do you choose to glue the motor and not use screws to secure it. If youre potentially concerned by it pivoting on the screw end and moving at the comm end of the motor. You can use fibre reinforced tape to secure the motor .
@idwurks 7 ай бұрын
Thank you. Using the b7000 glue for the motor is due to a few reasons - 1) tape of any kind is not allowed on the pod or chassis at Electric dreams. 2) the b7000 provides some dampening as it’s not totally rigid, and 3) it can be cut easily and cleans up nicely :)

Ian using the front tires as a height point is different then what is popular. Most people say the front tired should barely touch. Can you talk about that ?
@jonanolakers1567 9 ай бұрын
@@larrycariglio909 my guess is that spacers possibly induces play, potentially causing deslots. Another benefit is that is makes it easier to adjust front ride height. One major drawback is that it reduces the depth of the guide, mening that the guide has to move less vertically to cause a deslot. I believe this is one of the respons that we saw the front of the Mclaren seem unstable in the race, and might have been the deciding factor between a win ans a second place

@idwurks 10 ай бұрын
Stephen, thanks for the question. The B version is the one we're racing - It has a Slot.it Flat6 motor, as compared to the MR1041 which has the full height long can motor. The difference will be in the motor pod and the motor itself, and how the motor applies power. The "bigger" can motors tend to have more torque where the lower profile Flat 6 motors have a lower CG. Does that answer your question?
