Yesterday i run a repair session at home.
-Rico's car
I dremeled off some old glue and paint then i made some cuts along the post in order to secure grip .
The superglued the post in place and secured it with araldite metall 2 part epoxy.
One thing i had forgoten to mention,while packing the cars after the race we found that one of the light lenses had fallen off but were lucky enough to locate it on a border,it's back in place






-Jack's car
Apart from the missing pin i discovered that one of the screws holding the axle block was gone maybe one the reasons tires rubing the body.


Put it back in place but it gave me a hard time because i could not figure out how to remove the front axle as i was afraid of breaking or dislocating something.


Re pin i couldnt find a pin that fits tight(yours is .78 mm i could only find .5 or 1)
so i'm thinking of using a bent .5mm pin and a piece of scotch on the body to hold it in place.
You thoughts please.

Good job on the race reports and details.

I couldnt remember anything specific but yesterday i tested reek's and big jack's cars to check everything was ok after minor repairs,so i tested yours too.What impressed me was desloting at a certain corner that the 2 other cars passed without noticing.(the corner right of the GTX stand,main straight entry)


At that point the border,made of ps foam,has worn off and it has formed a dent.So when you car hit the dent deslotted.I mesured your guide and compared it to reeks,it is .4 mm shallower,i think this is your cars problem.Otherwise if feels smooth and fast.If you check lap by lap report you will notice that your car had the following deslots
(inner red-green-blue-white outer)
6 on blue
1 on green
1 on red
4 on white
For most cars blue and white are the fastest lanes.

Thank you Alexis for the repairs, I'm very glad to be racing again.

Alexis,
I guess there is nothing that can be done concerning the dent in the foam, the other cars go thru the turn just fine. Please check the braid and make sure it is flat as possible. Future guide will be a deeper design, may improve deslotting.

Thanks for the info on #6.
