Not really asking for advice, just having a moan...
I've been lucky, no breakdowns to speak of in my slotting world for quite some time, then 2 weeks ago, during our Sports class at the club my NSR Mosler stopped at turn 1, slipping gear I thought, on closer inspection the motor pod had snapped allowing the back axle to move away from the motor, no problem I thought, got out a spare car, my NSR Corvette which was good enough to win the evenings racing.
Back home I checked out the Mosler, I've got another sidewinder pod. I'll just swap them, WRONG, the new one was an EVO and didn't fit, quick order to Pendle and a few days later an old style pod was in my hands except that it is 5mm shorter than the original, I'm now waiting for a reply to my email asking if they can measure and tell me which pod I need.
In the meantime we had an open day at the club and during the course of the day I got out my Corvette for a demonstration run, it reached turn one and de-slotted at slow speed, picked it up to have a look and the guide plate had snapped, again no crashes, and this was it's first lap since winning sports for me, I'm now about to graft a JS guide tab onto the NSR chassis, why is slotting so difficult?
**NB** The Corvette is the same car that completed the Brighton to John O Groats proxy
