Router variable speed control
I just picked one of these up from Harbor Freight and am planning on plugging in both 22v wall warts to do some low budget variable voltage control for a 4 lane track. It is rated for 15amps so "should" even work for a 4 wall wart setup.

7042 powerbase firmware update problem
I have the SSD 7042 6 car powerbase and we have had some lap counting and timing problems with it. I decided to do a firmware update as suggested on the SSDC site, using the 1.07 update. I got one of Rikorocket's cables to use for the update figuring I will probably install SSDC after I get everything else going well.
I first tried installing the upgrade from an old desktop computer running windows xp. I never could get the USB serial adapter to work right, so I got a new Dell laptop and tried it on that one. First it said there were no drivers for the cable, so I installed them. Now, the update program runs, but it doesn't perform the update. The program display first says opening com port, then reading id, then closing com port. No error messages, but no upgrade. The PB still says it is running version 0.85. Rikorocket is trying to help me, but I think we have both just about run out of ideas.
Has anyone else had a similar problem? Any ideas on what is going on?
By the way, we are running a 40 ft course at the moment, and have plans to expand to about 75 or 80 feet. When I get a little time, I will post my layout.

Building a Retro Bits 2 Can-Am maybe, maybe not?
Rick had sent me a an extra Dragonslayer nose piece he had and some reject Dragon pans that he made in his shop. I decided to make a Can-Am with the wire design based on an old JK brass and wire GT-12 chassis I have from the 90's. This is what I have so far, I'm waiting on some of Rick's new tongue braces and the custom motor bracket.For the record, I don't have the slightest idea if Rick is going to make this a chassis kit. It's just something I was kidding him about when I told him my plans for the parts.

Very pretty cigar cars
Just got these a few hours ago with a large lot I bought. The pictures do not do these justice. They are really nice. The owner was an Grumman employee here on Long Island. Since the stuff came through a third party ( with a finders fee I might add )
I do not know the name of the original owner builder. However I have a picture. He is on the left and I have seen the guy on the right before, don't recall his name. Pic taken at the Atlas trophy race. Sign says introducing the Atlas Lola and Ferrari. I would guess it may have been in Jersey somewhere but it's just a guess. Any info?

Hi, just bought a used Artin 1/43 slot car set. I've ordered new cars and controllers from Artin (should of checked Ebay first lol) and I'm wondering what mods or upgrades i should be looking at e.g. Can I bump my track voltage from 6 to 12 volts and if so what cars and what adapter should I use. If I'm an idiot for even considering this that's fine also just let me know. Thanks Dan :lol:

Hello, My Name is Florida Slotter And I'm an SCM!
Okay, for those that do not know what an SCM is, I'll spell it out . . . Speed Crazed Moron.
Yep, my love is speed, the faster the better. I've raced pretty much every type of slot car to date and love just about all of them. Regardless of the genre, I always strive to make them handle better, turn laps quicker and just be the 'best of the best' I can.
I have recently taken a Peugeot and installed one of the upgrade motors and a set of upgrade tires that are available at American Slot Car World. The motor is $5.95 and the tires are $3.00. This car went from turning 6 second laps at 14.8 volts to high 4 second laps on 13.2 volts. It is a fast car, capable of running with some 1/32 scale slot cars. No, I am not trying to out do 1/32 slot cars, nor am I saying that 1/43 is the way to go. I just want to see if I can make a 1/43 car that some of the manufacturers consider a 'toy' into something that will act like a larger scale product, yet still retain the affordability of a typical 1/43 car. In my mind, I have accomplished what I wanted to do. Here is a photo of that car, in case you missed it.
While I was playing, err I mean "Pseudo-Scientific Testing" at my buddy's track, DeBary Glen (it's on Facebook by that name), I spotted a "Tuner Car" by SCX. "H'mmm", I thought, "That would make an excellent piece to do a 'kitbash' article on." I asked Bob what he wanted for it, bought it and brought it home with me. This morning I started to tinker with it and it looked like it would work, so I got out the Dremel and got to work.
I just wanted to take a car with a guide flag on it, tweak it, re-motor it, do some basic set up and add a lexan body to the car.
The above Peugeot weighs in at about 42 grams. My goal is to build a Group C car that will weigh in at about 32 grams. Less weight = more speed, faster acceleration, quicker handling, better braking and hopefully will result in slightly faster lap times.
Here is a photo of the start of my project sitting next to my Peugeot for comparison.
The Jaguar XJR9 body is from Ranch-Designs. The body comes cut and smoothed. I like it a lot and I think it will serve my purpose for right now - that is to build a 32 gram Group C car that will run 4.8 second - or faster - laps on my friend ModlerBob's "DeBary Glen Raceway".
More to follow.

need a little help with tires for a hp7
Hey guys I recently picked up 2 brand new cars the yellow camaro and white mustang the ones mattel recently came out with.When I removed the bodies the only marking I could find to designate which chasis they were was one the one side it said hp7 so I assumed they were.I ran them for a number of laps on my home track which is all stock life like right down to the controllers and power pack it is a 4 by 6 layout.So my problem is after running quite a few laps I noticed the rear end likes to slide out too much where it is not a controllable drift other than that they do seem to be very smooth running and quick so I went down to my local hobby shop unfortunately it was during the week so the 2 shops in my area that race slots were closed I looked around at some tires and decided to try a pair of aj's blue tires as they said they would fit a hp7 unfortunately I dont remember the numbers on the package since my wife threw it out. To make a long story short I put them on the car and put it on the track and she just sat there spinning the rear tires as the rear of the car I guess hung up on the track and the tires were too low profile to make contact with the track. So how can you tell what rating tires you need for a certain chasis thanks for any help.:help:

Do we expect too much?
Do we expect too much?Let's say I'm a toy company, and I make rubber ducks. ElSecundo's Rubber Duckies, Inc. I sell almost all of my rubber duckies to parents, who plunk the duckies into the tub with their 3-year olds. My 'build parameters' are to: 1) make the toy look like a duck, 2) make the toy float, 3) make the toy squeak (because all good rubber duckies squeak), and 4) make sure that none of the materials are toxic so kids don't die when they gnaw on them.
Suddenly, a hobby springs up around my rubber duckies. Adults start modifying them for use in the pool, attaching motors and torpedoes, and using them for rubber ducky naval combat. The hobbyists start telling me that my ducks don't sit level in the water, making them a lousy platform for torpedo launching. My duckies aren't hydro-dynamic enough, so they're no match for the scale model submarines made for hobbyists that cost three times as...

Digital Carrera Go sets differences
Hello
I am a racer from Spain wanting to start with digital 143. Hard to find stuff here from Carrera Go, I am looking online and I see they still sell sets from 2008 maybe earlier. My question is, are there any differences between all the 143 sets in electronics (chips, box, controllers...). I am looking mostly at references 40001,40003,40008 and 40010.
Thanks

Time it takes to build a Retro chassis?
Please be honest with your selection.Velcro and clips
I was wondering if anyone was considering, changing the rule on attaching bodies. Some of us like attaching our bodies with tubing and pins. I understand not using pins and tubing in the Spec class. But why limited body mounting in the other classes.Thanks,

Pitlane, inside or outside?
I'm planning a routed wood Carrera D132 track, so this is mostly a "what would you do" question. All of my digital experience has been with D132, so forgive assumptions made wrongly.
I want to put my pit on the outside for a couple reasons. When some one adds or removes a car to pit lane, they won't block vision for a moment while reaching across the track. Also, I imagine that a pit on the outside would most likely be off the racing line, at least in my sketched design it will.
Last week I had the chance to use a pit lane for the first time and I noticed those two points. additionaly, it appeared that the D132 entrance was a quick in/out. I hope to rout a more gradual merge, more like a Carrera lane change.
Any other thoughts, ideas or experiences?

Carrera Lola T222...death of the crown gear
Well drat!!!I just opened my Lola and proceeded to do the usual tuning and upon removing the rear axle the crown gear broke.
How in the world did that happen?!
After some investigation and a really good magnifying glass, I found that the recessed area where the part number (I assume that's what it is) is molded meets the hub of the gear is very thin.
So thin that it only took my thumb bumping against it to break it. 
I did some measuring with my calipers and the plastic is almost half as thin in that area as it is the rest of the way around the hub. 
I still love my Carrera cars but this has me pretty bummed since I haven't even...

New MRRC Cheetah is two Cheetahs
My buddy and I just received our 2 MRRC Cheetahs. I received the black and he the red. Very nice looking cars.
But what ended up surprising me is the variations in the 2 bodies. For instance, the black Cheetah has a rear tire/wheel mounted in the hatchback. The red does not. The red Cheetah has two fender mirrors. The black one has none. The rear ends are different, the intakes and the hood openings differ as well.
I figured both the red and black Cheetah were the same exact body. Way to go MRRC!

lane changer question
Hello guys
I am new to slot cars and have sarted with the nascar trioval set and about 80 feet of evolution track. Basically i have about 90 feet of track setup and am now adding more lane changers. I have read that if there isnt enough power to the changers it can cause it to act up. I added power taps before my new right lane changer. The power taps are coming from a straight 7 sections from my cu. Also have 3 other lcs the new pitstop and the new cu.
Here is what it is doing
1. If i drive fast enough it doesnt switch
2. It sometimes switches too slow and my 132 cars get launched forward, deslotting.
3. Works when driving slowly.
Tested it with several different carrera cars. Just wanted to get your thoughts if this is a power issue or could be something else?
Thanks:canada:

AFX Quad Terminal
I have two quads, and two tri-terminals. I set them up, checking each side, and each way as I go along. Everything usually works out fine until the end of any layout I attempt.
With all track lined up as close as the eye can get, I'll have two lanes going in one direction just fine. When I switch direction, one lane will not work. What lane is always random.
It's weird.
I'll try different combinations; checking the track for continuity at every connection, and I just don't get it. As soon as the layouts last piece is set, and a careful inspection for kinks is complete, I do a test run. Both lanes in one direction always works fine. Change direction, one lane doesn't work. I change to a different quad or tri-terminal, the same thing. Switch Parma's, but it doesn't matter. Heck, it did this before I even got the Parma's, so that's out.
Has anyone else encountered this? If so, what did you do to rectify the problem?
Thanx

Shipping To Canada Question
Hi,
I emailed your store with a question about shipping to Canada about a month back, but that email was never answered. So, I'll give this a shot: I had put together an order in your web store which was mostly a bunch of small parts and a few motors. When it came time to check out the postage cost was going to be over $40 on a $35 order. I ended up cancelling the order, and buying from an online retailer whose shipping charges were literally 1/10th of what you charge. Are the high prices you charge to ship to Canada just the way it is? Can anything be done to get a lower rate (i.e. phone order, surface mail option)?
A reply would be appreciated. Thank-you. :canada:
p.s. I'm sure that your store is busy - and you've most likely heard this request before - but would it kill you to answer email inquiries once in a while? If you don't plan on or are unable to answer email, then delete that as an option for contacting your store as it only frustrates clients and makes your operation look amateurish when you do not reply.

Hi guys,
Ive been a Slotcar fan since i was a kid, lucky enough to have a father who loved slotcars during the 60's. We had our very own 3 lane routed 24th scale track in our living room, and as a kid, i played on it every single day after school. Fast forward to today, i race cars, rc cars, karts, and recently built a mini z track in my basement. Ive been dying to build a routed 1/32nd track, and after discovering Scorpius etc, the options seem endless. Instead of building a track, i have started to gather boxes of cars, so ill be more than ready when i finally get to building. Ive also been amazed at the level of detail of the tracks, and it inspired me to add some finishing touches t my Mini Z track. Trees, Grass and more to come. Ill add pics of the track once im allowed to add files!
Cheers

I am strictly a newbie to the hobby and I want to have fun racing with my kids in our basement, while still having space for the kids to do other things downstairs so I don't have to always take the track down to make room for other activities.
Unless I can be convinced otherwise, I am committed to running D132 cars on a 4 to 6 lane d143 track as I have extensive 143 track. Currently I have D143 lane changers and mechanical lane changers that allow for a pit lane. To the pitlane I want to add an led sensor to allow for the refueling, pitstop functionality of the D132 system.
My plan at present is to adapt a digital 132 black box 30344 to the 143 track, which seems straight forward, and add a led sensor to a 143 single lane straight section in the pitlane using the guts of the pitlane adapter unit 30360. Add the Carrera control unit 30352 with B. Yingling's software for PC based race management.
I would like to know if anyone has experience with this approach. I realize the size limitations of the d143 track width and want to add outside borders or just run the track on 5 lanes and use the outside lane as a border.
I have read that the D143 controllers can be adapted to fit the black box but I need some confirmation as to whether this could damage or limit either the black box or the D132 chips.
Without getting in too deep financially, I think I can convert over and keep the size requirements for my basement layout under control.
Also, I hear that Carrera's new product line is coming out in February 2012, can anyone give me confirmation on this?
Both the D132 and D143 wallwart transformers seem to indicate that they output 14.8 volts at 3.5 amps, however I have read that the D132 black box gives out more amps. I have also read that providing separate power taps from the black box allows for more consistent operation of the lane changers and the pit stop lane. Can I use the D132 transformer with modification (hard wiring the wires to the black box) to power the black box?
Can I use the D143 transformer to provide additional power to the track either to the rails or to the lane changers and other components? I have two D143 sets which gives me 2 D143 transformers and 5 digital 143 controllers.
It seems to me that the advantages of D132 cars is great selection of cars, especially when other manufacturers cars are chipped, and the ability to fishtail and drift due to a guide that swivels.
D143 cars are great due to size but the selection is fairly limited and for me the greatest drawback is the guidepin sticking when the car does fishtail. Another drawback is the size especially an F1 car due to the lack of space to add a D132 chip. Has anyone come up with a reasonable system of modifying the guidepin to an actual swivel? I have 2scx compact cars which I can see will accommodate a d132 chip, however I think there are roughly only about 10 different cars to choose from.
To sum up, here are my questions and goals:

To sum up, here are my questions and goals:
GOALS
- Use as many parts of the D143 system in the initial build as possible, i.e., the transformers and speed controllers.
- Have digital cars that can drift with least amount of modification.
- Have ghost car, pace car and and fuel management functionality.
- Have a fully functional pitstop.
- Learn how to add borders to the 143 track and to add more realistic guiderails, scenery, etc.
- Not use the entire basement for an interesting track.
- Eventually, add wireless controllers so I can reach cars that deslot more easily.
- Make the hobby fun for me, age 51, and the kids, presently ranging in age from 10 to 16.
- Keep the cost to a minimum before going completely over to the dark side, which I can see coming, so the wife doesn't blow a gasket.
QUESTIONS
- Can anyone provide insight as to the materials and/or threads best suited to making homemade borders for the D143 track?
- Has anyone modified a D143 car to both drift and carry a D132 chip?
- Is it practical to race 132 on 143 size track, assuming at least a four lane configuration? Is there anyone with real life experience with this?
- Has anyone come up with a reasonable system of modifying the guide pin of D143 cars to an actual swivel?
- Can I use the D143 transformer with modification (hard wiring the wires to the black box) to power the black box?
- Can I really modify D143 controllers to work with a D132 black box?
- Is adding the control box 30352 and the black box 30344 along with a cable adapter for a pc enough to get B. Yingling's race management software to run?
- Is Carrera's new product line is coming out in February 2012?
- Is Carrera planning on upgrading the chips and/or red box of D143 to provide the functionality of D132?
- Does anyone have any of the components listed above for sale?
Thanks in advance,
Andy

Lee Greenawalt ( hey that's me ) took the 50 lap feature for the midget part of the show, this was the first race for my new #11 Heller Motorsport chassis midget.
The midget part of the show had very few miss haps unlike the champ dirt car part of the show which you will see below was riddled with wrecks.
The champ dirt car 75 lap feature winner was the speedjunkie himself Chuck Heller, the feature was full of many restarts, and we had one car go out of the ball park twice, as well as had a number of multi-car wrecks ( no...

Back On The Track
Well after a lot of reading, searching and almost pure frustration, I finally broke down and replaced my September Flood 1/32 loss.
I invested in an Analog Set (Classic Memories) to begin with just to get re-familiar with the slot racing experience again. I haven't raced in many years and it took a flood to get me back behind the throttle. I picked this set and two boxes of straight track to make my initial home track.
After looking at SCX very seriously, and Carrera, I elected to go with Carrera. Eventually I will update to Digital but right now just renewing the racing experience.

Spring Specs
Hi Guys,
Does anyone have the specs for the following springs. If not the full specs, just the material used would be a great help.
1. T-Jet pickup shoe springs
2. Aurora AFX pickup shoe springs (Are JL/AW different?)
3. Aurora AFX brush springs (Are JL/AW different?)
4. Tyco TCR pickup shoe springs
The Aurora AFX brush springs would have to conduct electricity while it is probably a requirement that the AFX and Tyco springs do the same. The T-Jet springs do not.
Would using the existing pickup springs (Aurora or AW) be a good template, or should any replacement spring be a little less strong?
Thanks...Joe

Cars due for tech June 1, might get pushed back, depending on when all 2011 cars get posted
Send to same as above...
If possible, send the cars without clear plastic slot car boxes. A car in a cocoon of bubble wrap is very well protected. The clear plastic boxes are heavy, and we will not be sending the cars from venue to venue with them. There is no guarantee that the boxes will be returned.
Our experience in sending cars around is that transit damage is very unusual. 99% of the breakage in these races is loss of small, projecting parts like mirrors, during the actual racing. We will do our best to collect these parts as they fall off, and put them in little bags, labeled, which accompany the cars.
You may send a few spares, if you like. Spares that actually get used would be braids and gears. The cars run with the tires as-submitted on the car.
Please fill out and send in with car the tech form attached in the near future...
Reminder, RAAce will be capped at 50 cars.
Received cars will be highlighted blue... Late cars will be highlighted red
