Very detailed and clear video James 👍 It was indeed an awesome ISRA World Championship in Latvia 🇱🇻! I had to record the emotions of Luca and Piero and to be honest I was also pretty excited and emotional watching my friends win the race.
Hello. You have great videos. I'm constantly watching. Here I have a question about the slider. The slider guides themselves have a very interesting shape. Is he purposely so sharpened? Or does it happen during the race? Well, that is, he himself eventually wears off and becomes like this?
The guide is designed to be that shape. It is supposed to be aerodynamic down the straights and help with smooth cornering. Guides do wear during races but with a straight guide most wear occurs at the rear of the guide and with one of these aerodynamic guides the wear occurs around the area below the guide post.
Thanks for watching. I know what they are and I know they are extremely popular but I have not had any experience with them except with Tamiya versions when I was a child.
If the car was very slow down the straights and had a lot of grip I would consider narrowing the tyres to reduce drag. The tyres are likely to wear faster when they are narrower though.
The front edges of the chassis do touch the track when cornering but if it is set up correctly, they should hardly drag on the straights. The lower front edges of this chassis are slightly rounded by the punching process so they don’t damage the track.
@@ksmith1298 For ISRA racing, you have to start the race with 0.8mm clearance under the chassis at the rear. The chassis do not damage the tracks as the tracks are generally very flat. If I was racing on a banked track, then it would make sense to run more clearance under the front of the car.

Congratulations on such achievements !!!
Man !! - its so cool to see you winning !! - Congratulations !!!
Well done James. Always make sure your co-driver is faster than you. Ive always used that as good team tactic. 😁🤣
Thanks James
Those that are squeezed out will always come back with tenacity

I'm sorry, but I forgot to congratulate you on the prize. Congratulations. This is a great achievement !!! Thanks for the reply. I'll try the same.
@@maliysh-krepiysh Thank you 🙏
Congrats James 🎉
Thank you 🙏
Never realised how " pro " slot car racing was
What kind of tape reinforces the pin holes in the body?
Mr James : Hi I am From Indonesia. Do You Know About Mini Yonku/Mini 4 Wd That More Populer In East Asia And South East Asia?
Thanks for watching. I know what they are and I know they are extremely popular but I have not had any experience with them except with Tamiya versions when I was a child.
When would you narrow the tire, if you could?

Wish I could race again but a track is 100 miles from home. Too much driving to practice and race
That’s a shame. Maybe you could visit once every other month?
Very interesting.
No front wheels...chassis probably drags...im sure it is fast
No, they don't drag
@@ronthornton2583 sure they dont

@@CleaveTech the chassis should never touch the track...but since track clearance rules are largely ignored anymore...the car shown is what you get.

wow ... some fellas simply can't accept the fact that someone is better - always better . Such ego that they can't be beat ... shame
