Part 2 Casting a slot car body with the new mold.

Using our previously created mold, it’s time to cast a body.

Excellent

[@Area51racewayNC]

Awesome that the whole process was shown. Maybe others will start doing it!

[@shotgundaveslotcars]

I’m hoping that will happen too Jorge!

[@bulletdgw742]

Great video Dave. Would love to see you do a 1/25 brass chassis build from the start. You build some awesome looking cars. Thanks from Bubba at SMR.

[@shotgundaveslotcars]

Thanks Bubba. Appreciate it! I can do a chassis build video. Look for it in the future.

[@swmarb5236]

Great how2 vid. The shorts you did 6/7 yrs ago are cool too. Dave, could you show us from beginning to end on a build of a 1/25 car. Would be a great vid. Thanks again......

[@shotgundaveslotcars]

Thanks swmar. I appreciate it. That’s a great idea on a 1/25 build. I’ll work on it and get one out there. Thanks for the suggestion.

Good times molding, and some good rockn’ music. Cool

[@shotgundaveslotcars]

Thanks Michael! Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for sharing your skills. Nice video!

[@shotgundaveslotcars]

It’s my pleasure Ken. Hopefully it’s helpful.

Great video Dave! Tempted to do one myself! Keep up the up the tutorials!

[@shotgundaveslotcars]

Thanks MeGolf92. I appreciate it.

[@DanielWiley]

Looks Great Dave!

[@shotgundaveslotcars]

Thanks Dan!

[@jamesdickey5407]

This gives me the idea to recreate arms camp speedway outside of Anderson Indiana

[@shotgundaveslotcars]

Go for it!

[@MeGolf92]

Great instructional video! How many times can you use the same mold?

[@shotgundaveslotcars]

Thank you! Hope you found it helpful. The mold is good for about 20 or so bodies before it starts to degrade.

[@Moparguy511]

Awsome tutorial Dave!!

[@shotgundaveslotcars]

Thanks Scott. Appreciate it!

@@shotgundaveslotcars you made it look easy! I have to give this a try!

[@twolinesslotcars]

Ok that is a cool process!

[@shotgundaveslotcars]

Thanks Marty! Now we gotta get you making some stuff!

[@SpareRoomSlotCars]

Very cool, thanks for sharing

[@shotgundaveslotcars]

Thanks Gene. Hope it’s useful.

@@shotgundaveslotcars Hi Dave, yes its very useful. you've piqued my interst in casting my own car bodies

[@rhysthomas209]

G'day mate , so easy thank you

[@shotgundaveslotcars]

You’re welcome rhys. And thank you.

[@Митя23]

Классно, классно!

[@keithfilkins2043]

Looks great! Do you know if there is clear resin to make the "glass" Thanks for schooling me lol
And I hope you'll show us a full build because you build some awesome cars!!!

[@shotgundaveslotcars]

Hey Keith. Yes, there is clear resin. It takes a considerably longer time to set up, but it works. I have plans to do a full build video.

[@keithfilkins2043]

@@shotgundaveslotcars cool,thanks Dave

[@kennethbaird968]

Amaizing

[@spence_the_buffet_slayer]

Love these videos Dave. I have a question! Is there any way to do something like a Dodge Charger Daytona with that big wing? Obviously there needs to be a way to extract it from the mold with that wing attached.

[@shotgundaveslotcars]

Thanks Spence! Realistically you’d have to cast the wing separately. There’d be no way to cast it on the car.

[@spence_the_buffet_slayer]

@@shotgundaveslotcars I thought that would be the case, I just wanted to check that you didn’t have some magic fix that I hadn’t thought of. Keep up the great work Dave!

[@shotgundaveslotcars]

@@spence_the_buffet_slayer I wish I did have some “magic” lol! It would make some of these builds a lot easier!

[@slotcardude68]

1/32 I guess?!

[@shotgundaveslotcars]

Yessir. 1/32 scale.

[@slotcardude68]

@@shotgundaveslotcars I only did a H0 resin body so far....
