So Testing Day 3 of "Volvo versus Volvo"
And yes the caddy strapped to the chassis worked, so with only a 1gram excess weight over the Saloon, the Estate miraculously appears to have the edge by a wopping 0.3 sec off the lap time. It does now seem a little slow on a cold start due to carrying the load, so I will try changing the Slot it motor to a NSR 20k.
Incidentally I put together a Modern Class Honda Civic for my clubmate Steve Ruscillo, with the Scalextric 3d chassis they gave away free with the car at the time, and without any real tuning that makes a good time of around 0.2 secs faster than the Volvo Estate. But now not really that much difference.
I have received the Olifer 3d chassis for the Ford Falcon which I will fit with a Anglewinder motor.
