Part 1 - Basic glad for the Scalextric Power Base 4

CAUTION. THIS ARTICLE RECOMMENDS THE USE OF CHEAP EXTENSION CORDS AS AN AFFORDABLE SOURCE OF PLUGS AND SOCKETS. WHILE THIS WORKS IT SHOULD NEVER BE USED WHERE YOUNG OR EASILY CONFUSED RACERS ARE ALLOWED TO PLUG IN THESE CORDS. DUE TO THE FACT THESE ARE THE SAME CORDS THAT WILL PLUG INTO 110 VOLT WALL OUTLETS EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE USED. NEVER PLUG A GLAD EXTENSION CORD INTO A 110 VOLT POWER SUPPLY!!!

Part 1 - Basic glad for the Scalextric Power Base 4Glad is simple and unoriginal. It is a single lane separate system using chip jumpers that allows the PB4 owner to run analog. This project uses a stock PB4 , stock digital power pack, and stock digital controllers. You will only modify 2 pieces of straight track and make 2 chip jumpers.

Carrera Audi R8 LMS

Carrera Audi R8 LMSUnder the hood Carrera has left lots of room on the chassis of the Audi R8 LMS courtesy of the pan interior and flat chassis. This is great for anyone who wants to convert the car to digital, or to non-magnet running as there’s lots of room for either the chip or lead weight. It’s nice to see brass bushings front and rear though there’s significant play owing to the knurled axles used. One interesting feature I noticed in testing is the ability to bypass the direction switch courtesy of the modular electrical connections used between the switch, guide, and motor. The guide and motor connections can be hooked up directly and the now redundant switch can be easily removed by just removing 1 screw. Read More

BRM 24 Hour Race at the Haynes International Motor Museum Model Car Show

BRM 24 Hour Race at the Haynes International Motor Museum Model Car Show...on last 10th-11th July was held the first European BRM 24H Race!

Unfortunately I was unable to speak about it first, because I had not any pictures and useful information to tell the Event.

I write Event with the “E” capitalized, because also myself that travel all around the world to see and participate in BRM competitions, I’ve been very impressed about this Race, its organization and its fantastic location in one of the most famous Museums dedicated to cars and motor vehicles

Carrera CanAm Challenge

Carrera CanAm Challenge Carrera has jumped onto the Can Am bandwagon with their most recent releases, and they’ve done so with a splash. The cars Carrera has chosen to model represent the end of two separate lines of development for the Can-Am land missiles: the McLaren M20 and Porsche 917/30.

The Carrera Can-Am models are available in both Analog and D132. The paint and detail on the cars looks great: nice sharp lines, good exhaust detail, and a pan interior leaving plenty of room for the electrical workings. Mark Donohue's spaceman helmet is a little on the funky side though. The tires on these cars are huge, with the Porsche’s being the widest I have ever seen on a 1/32 scale slot car.

Carrera Chevrolet Dekon Monza – IMSA 1977

Carrera Chevrolet Dekon Monza – IMSA 1977Carrera’s Dekon Monza is a model of chassis number 1004 as campaigned by Tom Frank in both Camel GT and Trans Am during the late 70s. This car looks the business with its massive rear wing, cow catcher air dam, and monster fender flares. Carrera did a great job on the tampo of this car reproducing even the smallest contingency sponsor logos. Even the Camel GT’s “Smokin’ Joe” logo makes an appearance though the cigarette manufacturer’s name is abbreviated to ‘C M L’ since the Carrera is after all a toy car. Read More

The Slot Car Handbook

The Slot Car Handbook by Dave Chang A few months ago I joined the ranks of 1/32 scale slot car hobbyists. A librarian by day, it was only natural for me to search out information sources for my new pastime. In the wonderfully helpful and lively SCI community, I found answers to many of my newbie questions. But I also like to have a guide book or two handy when digging into a new project, and The Slot Car Handbook is one I’m very glad to have. Read More
