What grit of sandpaper do you use for the tru tires?
@SlotCarHooligan4 ай бұрын
Hey man!! I usually use what I got lying around, but it really depends on each tire compound. For the Carrera compound (being harder and more durable), I like to use about 220 grit to start (gently) and get the worst of it done. I then move on to upwards of about 400 grit to refine any smaller high/low spots until I get it to my liking. If you are running soft compound tires, you may want to step up to finer first to make sure you don't overheat the tire compound. Hope that helps! Remember to go slow and give the tires some time to cool in between!

Awesome video Ryan, that was a lot of fun! Some very balanced and competitive times there. It was funny how the mag and non mag times flip flopped like that for the most part, very interesting. I am not surprised the Javelin won, they are very consistent running cars, even though they don't look like they would handle all that well! I love vintage Trans Am Series cars, they are my favorites. I have quite a few of them too. I do wish one of the "hobbyist" brands like Slot It or NSR would make some of these, but these are still a blast. I've been to the Trans Am Series races at Lime Rock Park a couple of times, and got to see some of these vintage cars run as well, great sounds and fun! Thanks for sharing!!
@SlotCarHooligan4 ай бұрын
Really appreciate you watching, Dave!! I was pretty surprised at some of the findings and it was a blast to test all of the cars out back to back on equal terms. I especially didn't expect the Cougar to run as well as it did either with the front end being so high and that Cuda really surprised me! Really cool to see all the variables at play and unpredictable results, for the most part. I agree totally!! I would love to see some high-end manufacturers produce some of these legends. Would really like to see a Firebird in the mix. Not sure if Scalextric has ever done one? I know they have Challengers, which I still need to acquire one but don't remember seeing a "trans-am" style bird! I'm sure you would know! 😂 An old Pontiac Tempest would be cool and a few of the other odd random factory unsupported cars that were on the track back then. Man that must be a blast! The Pittsburgh Vintage Gran Prix runs a few old mustangs and camaros set up like a trans-am racer, but not sure how close modification wise they would be to how the true trans-am series racers would have been back then. The sounds are amazing, I have to agree!!
