Lancia D50 Slotcar Test
Переглядів 1,3 тис.Місяць тому
First tests of a scratchbuild Lancia D50 which has caster steering. Unfinished at the moment but a good time to see if it works! The body catches th wheels when they steer, so some alteration required. The car is very skittish, even turned down to 3.5 volts, as well as tyre attention, I think it needs some additional weight. Thank you to: Body, motor and wheels from Betta Classic, Pendle Slot U...
Small Slotcar Oval Making Pt3
Переглядів 1022 місяці тому
The third short video of the making of a small compact Slotcar Oval. Mainly themed for British stockcar racing, Slotstox in this case. However, the actual stock cars are a wip at the moment...keep an eye out for the first build. All posters and memorabilia are from the fantastic oldstox.com website. I do not own these images. We have a coastal feature called Old Harry rocks, named after an infa...
Slotcar Oval pt 2

Part 2 of my first attempt to make a wooden Slotcar track. This is very much a test run with some scrap wood, but... it has turned out to be much more fun than I thought. If you watch the second slo mo video in these clips, the cars which are running straight from the power source set to only 3v, are having a very realistic tussle, some great nudging and finally a fun overtake sequence! I do no...
Slotcar Oval, Creating a Small Track Part 1
Переглядів 2132 місяці тому
Please skip through the first overly long sequence, I am sorry it goes on a bit. My first attempt at making a routed wooden oval from a piece of old scrap plywood 29" x 56" As well as some build pictures, here is the first test run using an American "modified" oval car. I hope to run Midget and Sprint cars, but the primary track design is for European F1 stockcars, or in our case... "Slotstox!"...

Ideally this should be on video post: ua-cam.com/video/npUqWcmVhjk/v-deo.html However,- I obtained this third party footage only recently. Sorry for the blurred picture format, but the main point is the sound of this straight 6 with a non standard firing order for a Wolseley.

Please note the video was narrated during the replay, the gauges etc are not working during the replay. Here I hope to show that for very low cost you can bring flying stories and history right from the pages of a book, magazine or old film, using a very cheap FSX flight simulator and some very cheap equipment.. Here is a video clip of the real Bronson Creek in winter, more can be found in my p...

Some Gentle Purbeck Bicycle Fun
Переглядів 90Рік тому
No Lycra or carbon fibre to be seen, just a couple of old bikes and 1960s oldies having a fun time in Purbeck! With time to listen to the birds, sniff the sniffs and soak in the beautiful winter colours. The small footbridge is called Sharford Bridge historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1427065?section=official-list-entry , a medieval structure which has one gothic arch and one ro...
Wolseley Spl Winter Work 2022 / 2023
Переглядів 282Рік тому
Here is s short compilation of some of our work on the Wolseley Hornet over the winter months. We had hoped to have driven and tested the car in the autumn, but unfortunately when we came to put oil in the replacement gearbox, it poured out via the bell housing. At the same time a new crank and cam that had been on back order became available. This package will allow us to run a different firin...
