so easy... thanks so much... I was back and fourth a few times... I appreciate this

Having watched this discussion, and certainly the digital vs analog bit, I was really surprised that some people still think that analog racers are the better driver than digital racers. I've been competitively racing since 1993, so waaaay before there was any talk of digital stuff. Heck, back then our timing computer still ran only DOS... I look at it this way: to be a really good digital driver, first of all you need to be a really good analog driver. I mean: we all started with analog right (most of us have been in the game way longer than digital racing came to market) I for one still try out any potential car in analog mode, but with a non hooked up digital chip in situ. If it works as I envisioned then I hook up the chip and presto: a competitive car ready to race. I'll stand by Greg however that (some) digital racers just have an added ability, next to choosing the ideal lane to get through traffic in the best way possible, to keep a better overview of what the competion is doing and where they're located on the track during a race. Simply because that's a skill that is not as necessary for analog racing. For me, digital racing is just much more like the real thing: you might encounter slower or less skilled drivers during your race. Look at any real racing event (even F1, Indycar, NASCAR, IMSA or WEC) and the top drivers share the track with gentleman drivers or less skilled drivers. Even more so in multiclass racing. Navigating traffic is just another added skill, be it in 1/32 scale or 1:1 scale. That's racing. And that's why I love digital racing, even though I still really enjoy analog. I don't like to have to choose or be put away as a digital OR analog racer. I'm a digital AND analog racer. And good at both to boot!

Saying there’s no market for kicking of an American digital race assumes there was when DiSCA began 😂 There’ll never be one unless you begin somewhere!

Some disappointing takes on digital racing on display here, even when the light is being shown. How it can’t be grasped that putting more cars on less lanes equals more track time shows a fundamental lack of understanding. Race length can be significantly extended because there’s no need to rotate through lanes or run extra heats. Do the math.

Love Slot Cars just ordered the 1/24th GT40 from BRM. No. 92 - 93

Grats to Jim Rose for his podium finish. You "World Wide Slot Car Chat" guys should be proud!

interesting discussion analog/digital. However, Marco's position is clear, financially uninteresting. the American market is not yet suitable for it. Oxigen is complicated, I understand from Alan the average American is not a tinkerer. The success of the Internationals is a great, fantastic event. So there is the start of a spin off for a small digital competition. step-by-step.

I now have over 90 slot cars Revo’s BRM’s NSR’s and Racer’s enjoy your show immensely seen all of them. Someday my wife will let me have one of the spare rooms for a track layout so I can get the cars out of the boxes and use them! Great show!

sorry courtney, i ordered mine 1st...lol

Mike , think about the pole south and north, there is a app for it...and Greg, indicates not to use 2 magnets, left and right of the track...however I have been doing this for years

Excellent upgrade.

Nice upgrade....I was thinking that this could be also used for coning front tyres. For instance, screwing in moving the left side of the sanding spindle down, should give an angle to cone one front tyre so that the outer diameter is bigger than the inner. Of course this works only for wheels that can be removed from the axle.

Thanks Greg! Easy, peasy just like you said.

Hi Greg I want to order this upgrade for my truer please 😊

I was searching through eBay about a few days ago, and I found laser tag team op blasters that were from the concept stage and they were also unreleased versions. I even found a black version of the team ops base tagger which was also unreleased

Clive ( dr C) is going to send me this month, a new set to test with Oxigen cars...so lets see

Extremely helpful! Thank you.

Good boy!

Cutie pup

Iteresting pure racing track 🤗 like a 3 lane track ,sometimes its just right to fit a certain limited space 👍...Harry

Wow! No kernel left behind!

That is so cute Greg. We had a dog that loved grilled corn also. She didn't much care for stovetop corn.

Sounds to me like Wayne has not read any DiSCA sporting regulations. Section 12, “Judicial”, clearly states the actions that will award a penalty. Drivers are also reminded during the pre-race briefing. Rookie drivers get their own briefing prior to first qualifying which places more stress on basic “safety” on the track. And yes, lane changing into another car is very much penalty worthy. Look where you’re going and don’t do it!!!

The BRMs are great cars - quite an improvement over the earlier chassis.They are releasing the #16 David Piper car soon, don't delay in getting it.

JohnM when will you have part 3 ready for the molding process of the die cast truck? I've enjoyed this series.

I agree with John Kit! Just retired and started this hobby for my grandchildren, a section for newbies would be great! Especially looking how to installing digital coder into F1 cars for Carrera Digital! Great info.

Terrifying that these old can-am cars were literal go-karts with over 500 horsepower. Especially the Shadow Mk 1. I have no clue how the amount of fatalities were absolutely miniscule compared to F1.

I have the Team Gunston Ferrari 350P by Racer beautiful model! Great detail!

Does anyone have the history of the Hawkins-driven #83 Ferrari Can-Am?

Thunderslot will get two more liveries from the Ferrari Can Am car. I believe the #4 Gunston raced in 1968 in the Kyalami 9 hours. The drivers were John Love and Peter or Paul Hawkins. Also, in 1968, Hawkins won the Capetown race in # 6 Gunston.

A bit off topic question. I finally got a SCP 3 today :) What battery are you using in yours?

24h teams are given 16 x Slotit 1171 G25 tyres and 2 motors, either 2 x MN09ch Flat 6, OR 2 x MX16 21k short can. Once handout parts are issued they can be used however the team wishes. Only one pair of tyres can be taken from race control at a time. Slipstream using only two sets during the race is definitely unusual but may have been possible due to the lower downforce on LMP2 cars, the closed side of the motor can must face the track, or a higher ride height due to lower offset, bigger wheels, etc. Sports Carazing were changing tyres after approx six hours, although we did use five sets just as a safety measure to secure our third place in LMP1 toward the end of the race.

How do I download this app

Sad that its 3,6cm to high for my Printer

tony, the king of unpacking!!

Great to see Bernard on there, provided a fascinating conversation!

welcome in the digital Oxigen world...Greg....its a lot of work to organise a race....but after a while you well get there

The new Australian distribution of MR Slotcars at 24:00 will be good news for slot racers in Australia and good for MR Slotcar too. An example was when NSR changed to Leeman distribution the sales of NSR went up by around s factor of three. It could be worth SlotIt and Thunderslot looking into that change further.

Nice

It turns out that a post-chat inspection of my iMac computer set-up revealed that one of the Yamaha speakers I use for external monitors on the system had fallen onto its side and was aimed directly at the microphone port on the iMac (lower rear center) so that when I spoke, a feedback loop was set up and the Auto Level Control on the mic would drop the level down to about half gain. I'd go into System Settings and mysteriously, the Input gain settings had been dropped and had to be adjusted again. Trying again to address the chat group, the bug loop would repeat itself and I and everyone else would become more and more frustrated. I apologize to Greg and all the WWSCC Group for the giant waste of time and attention. I will endeavor to persevere and do better next time I may have some meagre stuff about toy cars to share.

Thanks so much for the video. Could you tell me the process if I want to use the SCP3 with my ARC PRO base while in analog mode with analog cars? Thank you.

I use an old cassette-tape "atache-case" (1/32)

"play slot cars"?

Nice track

Any technical specs on this track that you can share? E.g footprint ? And who built it ?

the magnets will just be pulling them selves towards each other ,there's no reason why the car should move forwards .

Go Rocko go!

Hello i just got the challnger car but a problem it didnt come with the trackside control will ot still work as like computer or not??
