I leave you this tutorial for a complete Slot App that allows you to create lists, collections and control races in analog and digital mode (Advance). Is very complete.

I was at a flea market today and took a few pics. I hope you enjoy them with your cup of coffee. Cheers. Ken.

   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

I picked up this Aurora Maserati 3500 at a flea market this past summer. It was a little beat up and covered with decals. The wheels and tires were terrible.

   

Nothing like a little TLC to spruce up an old car.

   
   
   

Thank you very kindly for looking.

Time to share a little playful project where I am experimenting with 2-part decoders. In this configuration the mainboard carries the diodes, microcontroller, strobe LED and, if required some lighting circuits. The MOSFET power control board is soldered directly onto the motor. There is a whole range of pros and cons with this type of configuration including future plug-and-play brushed versus brushless motor options. 

My main motivation for this project is to fit a high spec decoder into a slim F1 chassis. The decoder in the photo is equipped with 18A motor/brake MOSFETs. Perfect for 50k evo king motors on a heavily mag’ed drag strip setup :)

I guess I have. The red LED comes on but goes out when I press the throttle and the car just hums (gently to itself   )

Can it be saved or is it just junk now? (The powerbase - the car's fine.)

Unfortunately despite the piles of track I have it seems I only have (had?) the one analogue powerbase and I'm stuffed until the eBay pair I've ordered arrive. 

I have taken the liberty to copy and paste from E-pilots wonderful Magazines thread - regarding MCR final edition.

While it is inevitable we all get old, I am really quite sad to see Robert retiring, as he has been an integral part of the journey of slots cars since the 60's. I have been a collector of slot magazzines from the 60's for many years, and he was a big part of the substance in these magazines.( I also have the first 96 editions of MCR in printed format) His series on the Paramount ranch track building comes to mind, as well as his support and drive to keep accuracy and scale to slot racing when the all out drive was to speed speed speed with cars looking less and less like cars to the extreme of wings being added and racing only on 2 wheels.
I have not always agreed with all his ideas and directions, but I can honesstly say he has had a huge impact on slot racing in general and on my journey along this road.

Thanks Robert for all you have done , the pleasure you have brought to 000's, and have a great retirement.

Do NSR, Slot.it or others make tyres suitable for the standard wheels on an SCX Fiat Abarth. If not, do they make suitable tyres to fit Pendles Mini-sized alloy wheel set. Rubber of sorts, not silicone or urethane please.

A BMW 2002 is high on my wishlist and I've been looking at the available models and wondered if anyone had any opinions of the Avant and Revoslot models (or others)?

It won't be used in anger or need to be super special, just a nice drivable car around my home track.

They're similarly priced as far as I can see and the Revoslot chassis looks quite something...I've got no anglewinder or metal chassis cars at all so far.

I have seen that Revoslot sell fully decorated bodies separately, so I'm wondering if I could graft one on to a different chassis with maybe Slot.it inline components to save a few pennies.

Hi , hope someone can help me, I am looking to upgrade to a truSpeed controller but am unsure on the wiring , the controller has three wire , plus ,minus and brake, I have the  new style evolution ( red controller plugs ) and they have  just has two wire controllers ? how would I be able to make it work?
