Testing a new tire truer protype.. .The Track Pro TT1a Tire Truer/Cleaner
Переглядів 1,4 тис.17 днів тому
Nap from NP Labs sent me his latest prototype of a tire truer/cleaner that he is hoping to bring to market. It works with 1/43, 1/32 and 1/24/1/25 scale slot cars. This is a basic overview and some feedback for Nap to consider. It is not a tire truer in the sense of removing wheels and tire form your car and trueing them. It is really for light trueing/scuffing and cleaning tires. Comiing to th...

Scratch Build Slot Car.. Applying Decals!

Part 2 of the Scratch Build Slot Car for the HRW Showdown Proxy in the Land Barge class. We are adding detail to the body so it looks like a proper 1963 Ford Galaxie NASCAR! Decals are not difficult if you take your time. I quite enjoyed the process. Next up to get the body mounted, interior completed and the car tuned! #slotcars #slotcarracing #analogslotcars #carreraslotcartrack #coffeeandslo...

Just catching up on this content. Woah what an awesome track and that lovely view when the garage door opened. Such a clean layout.
Bryce, it was a great layout. Steve has built one of the nicest tracks I have been to in person.
Congrats Marty! Your cars performed great. I bet they are fun drivers. I hope to have a car in their next race. Going to learn from Shotgun Dave's modified Chevelle. My big challenge will be my lack of soldering skills also. Plan to get a kit from Slot It to help with my first build.
Steve, you have a great car to learn from!!! Congrats!
@@twolinesslotcars Thanks Marty!
Gday Marty have fun mate
Thanks Rhys! Always have fun!
That's what you call a Detroit Slider chassis. The sanctioning body should be along shortly to ban it. 😂
😂
We ran a LOT of cars that day. There were quite a few hard crashes. And if memory serves me right, yours took a pretty hard hit. And in the heat of battle it could have gotten damaged. At any rate, it performed very well!
That’s what it takes for my cars to run great.. a few good crashes 😂😂😂
Nice cars Marty.
Thanks Greg! Your car looked and ran great too! Fun times!
@@twolinesslotcars Looking forward to January.
Looking awesome, I love a land barge.
Thanks! They are such cool cars!
@@twolinesslotcars One day I'd love to chat regular sized cars with you. I am a huge fan of heavy sport sedans that have no business being as fast as they are. Used to have a methanol SHO, and am currently in a stage 3 Audi S6.
4th place pretty good. that's funny it's stretched! LOL!!! that's weird it worked good in the inner lane I always thought the cars with a shorter WB worked better in the sharper turns.
That was my logic too. But if you watch the race.. the car was glued to the track.. land barge finished 2nd 😂
That had nothing to do with an advantage it ran fine.
Thanks Jorge!
The stretched wheelbase is kind of funny. I think the second place was well deserved though. The flexing motor pod chassis did it, good job.
I think it worked pretty good. It was a crap shoot 😂 you just never know what might work and what doesn’t.
You may be on to something Marty. A floating, adjustable wheelbase setup. 😎 Great job on the Showdown race. Im starting my 3rd build this coming week, 1/32 kit, a 1982 Camaro Z28. Seriously considering sending in a car for the January Nascar showdown. We will see. Great job Marty. Later! 🫡
You should send a car! It is a lot of fun to participate. Very satisfying to see your car get raced.
Good job brother Marty, remember it’s a hobby and it’s all for fun! 😁👍🏎️
You got that right!
Next showdown everyone will be weakly soldering the same rear chassis design 🤣🤣🤣
No body can solder that bad.. 😂
Probably happened in shipping maybe? I think they would have noticed the wheel base being that far off. But you might be on to something there Marty. 😂
Tadd, maybe if the design actually moved.. but it was locked into that rear position pretty good 😂
@@twolinesslotcars 👍🏻😂
Happy Saturday fellow slotterheads and Marty. Thinks you needed to do a drive through penalty. 😅😂. Congratulation on Your finish...
John, lol drive through penalty.. I think I will take the drive through penalty at McDonalds..
You set new standard 😂 😂😂 genius! Sorry that happened but a little funny. Still great lo9king car and at least you entered.
I had a good laugh, Eric. 😂 you need to enter next time!
definately want to enter one. not sure about nascar .
Good job on those scratch builds Marty great way you designed the adjustable wheelbase !!
Simon, it did make getting the wheel base correct pretty easy… I just need to do a better job at soldering ;) lol
Great video Marty real helpful thanks
It is a great car Simon!
OK cameraman I think I’m gonna puke now. Why do all these UA-camrs do the same stupid stuff?. They need to put the camera at one end in a high position over the track so you can see the cars on the track without making people puke.
My track is 24 feet long.. my ceiling is less than 8 feet since I am in my basement. Can’t cover the whole track with one camera. I don’t own 5 cameras or a super wide angle lens camera. I guess I will include Dramamine the next time.. thanks for watching, apology for the motion sickness.
Could you please DM the box wiring schematic.

Nice job on the scratch building Marty. Congrats to all who participated with entries, and great stuff by Harry and everyone who made it to HRW headquarters!
Watching now. Better late than never.
No worries John!
I missed it thinking you weren’t doing it. My bad, I missed something somewhere! Watching now. Sorry man.
No worries Danny!
Welcome back Marty
Thanks Gary!
Welcome home!
Good to be home Steve!
G’day Marty congrats on the land barge and good to see you back cheers and av a good one
Thanks! I got a little lucky with the land barge but I will take it!
Welcome back home! I had to finish watching in the morning, work and fostering three extra pups is wearing me out. Thanks for a late live after a long day of travel. I hope you had today off to recover.
No rest for the weary Chris 😂 back to work today. 3 extra pups… wow! We picked Gus and Finn up from the kennel.. not sure who was happier.. the dogs or my wife LOL
@@twolinesslotcars P.S. We have officially had a foster fail....Sophie is now apart of our family! She has really bonded to my wife.
@@chrisfreter3629 lol... it happens.. pretty easy to get attached..
Never dial in a car in the afternoon of a night race. 🏁
My Oldest recently moved to Littleton Co. I have to fly out there next! What do you think of Colo.
My Kids love it. We enjoy visiting. It is getting crowded and expensive.
I guess it can't be worse than Florida! Just a bigger $ flight @twolinesslotcars
8 o'clock gets early in the summer! I love the added day light!
I went to Idaho with Elk tags. Flew in the night before opening day. My rifles showed up 3 days later! Love flying with Valuable luggage!
HobbyTown is much better for the slot car hobbyist than Hobby World.
We have neither… 🤷🏻♂️
Missed the live. Went to bed. 😂 Will rewatch. 🏁
No worries.. I should have been in bed too 😂

Missed it live
No worries.. I was exhausted so it probably makes zero sense 😂
Safe at 🏠 home!
I made it 😂
Great Track! Thanks. What material does he use for the sidewalls. PVC foam core perhaps?
Yes, he used foam core.. it was a lot of work but looks fantastic!
