- The car is officially a "hammer"!
I take the land barge apart and discuss the chassis and what may have made it a 2nd Place finisher 😂
What a great proxy race. Go follow Home Racing World for great scratch build content a

One way to strengthen wire in a brass tube joints is to first drill 2 or 3 holes along the length of the tubing. Use whatever size dill that fits on your tubing. Assemble your wire in the tube & use each hole as a soldering point for flux & solder. Then do your normal brass tube/wire exposed solder joints as you've always done them. Those spot soldering holes will add quite a bit of strength. Instead of holes, you can also use Dremel cuts made part way through, but across the tubing & solder each one made. You had great results at Harry's.
Bill, that’s a great tip that I plan to put into action immediately! Thank you so much. I got pretty lucky with my cars.. the guys drove them great!!!
Good job brother Marty, remember it’s a hobby and it’s all for fun! 😁👍🏎️
You got that right!
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
Congrats Marty, for your genius built floating wheelbase chassis. 😅👍. Sorry, but that was really funny.
I use a brazing station and solder with a high silver content and a good flux. The best results comes with the perfect temperature for the solder that is shown by the flux if you know what i mean.
I am a banker and have to teach myself everything technical, but thats the fun aspekt.
😂 it was effective 😂 I am getting better at soldering.. I am dealing enjoying the scratch building side of the hobby. Thanks for the comment!
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.
There's a group in the Pacific Northwest (mostly OR & WA) that runs several classes of hard body race cars with adjustable wire & brass chassis on a variety of home tracks. They have used this simple chassis they call their "economical chassis" for about 20 years or more.
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.
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.
Next showdown everyone will be weakly soldering the same rear chassis design 🤣🤣🤣
No body can solder that bad.. 😂
That's what you call a Detroit Slider chassis. The sanctioning body should be along shortly to ban it. 😂
😂
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!
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..
Gday Marty have fun mate
Thanks Rhys! Always have fun!
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 .
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 😂😂😂
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 😂
Nice cars Marty.
Thanks Greg! Your car looked and ran great too! Fun times!
@@twolinesslotcars Looking forward to January.
That had nothing to do with an advantage it ran fine.
Thanks Jorge!
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 👍🏻😂
Now I want to build a scratch car...😥
Randy, it is fun to take something you created and put it in the track and have fun with it. Give it a try! Pretty easy to get into thanks to Slot Car Corner!
