I bought an IR diode kit from TrackMate a while ago.
it came with four IR diodes and a Resistor (100 ohm).
I may have had a schematic on how it was to be wired, but I must have misplaced it?
I'm pretty sure it was to be wired with the provided resistor in series with the four IR diodes....

Sad news from Professor Motor, Andy Smith has passed away:

Andy had been struggling in the last year or so, but very sad news to hear he passed away yesterday.

My thoughts are with Bonnie and Oliver.

RIP Andy Smith ( Professor Motor)

The pics above show a model of the Corkscrew corner at Laguna Seca Raceway. I designed the parts so they’d print on my Prusa i3 (build volume 250 x 210 x 210high). The parts then assemble to make 2 track pieces – an R2 turning left and an R3 turning right.

So I got some older brass chassis's from a guy in our club. I am in process of taking them apart and cleaning them up. I was told to replace the guides and brushes but cant seem to find any on professor motor's site. Is there another site in the USA that carries parts for these type chassis ?

Not sure why Aurora named these cars after Tjets that need oil!?
Anyhow, a quick reversible method to make them much more fun to drive. Take the AutoWorld screw pin and replace the front screw on the Screecher.

Returning to slotting after a couple of years out and a different country i have just built a 33 meter Carrera digital now for the diorama

Recently bought this chassis with sprung motor pod kit.
Swapped out the metal chassis from my Z4. Really impressed with how the car runs, lighter, faster and hooked up on our 100’ wood track. Very quiet too!

Has anyone messed around with magnets and weights on BRM 1/24 cars for use on Carrera digital?

WTB/ISO Scalextric Proton Abu Dhabi Porsche 911 RSR. These cars must not have been released in the US or they were only available for a short period of time or perhaps only with a set??? With the success of Dempsey/Proton Racing at Le Mans in the last few years, it sparked an interest in that car as...

I just purchased this car and tried it out on a friends routed 1/32 track. It runs pretty good right out of the box. We're thinking of getting some more to use as an IROC set. These cars look great and are very reasonably priced. Does anyone make silicone tires for these? Has anyone tried running...
