Your work is always thought provoking which I love. I have in the past poured lead (in a controlled manner of course) into diecast, and have had success with it. Not many places where a build requires that weight. I do like that Zuru casting, and a few others. Quite e nice method when dealing with the plastic body. One of the zurus, out of the box achilles heal is too being too light. Indeed I have experimented with one of their new castings and added some weight, to take it from 27gm to approx 40gms, to benchmark against HW castings and have achieved some good results. The other big issue, out of the box that Zurus have, is many are too low, too much axle movement, hence fender rubbing and or track rubbing. But overcoming issues is part of the challenge. Cheers Marc D

thank you, I was happy to see it run decent on GTR
@@dr_dodge_racing Yes was cheering for you and a couple more!
Just wondering if the low temp alloy would melt if it was sitting in a hot box, garage or the sun.
I did some testing and it doesn't seem to. I put it out on a hot metal table, in the texas sun all day last summer
it takes 190°F to melt it
@@dr_dodge_racing that’s good to know thanks.
Ok, that's super cool.
thanks, any questions, just ask
