RWD MM DIY Damper Plate
The RWD MM (Mid Motor Mount) doesn't come with a damper plate as does the LM (Low Motor Mount). Who knows why not but the missing plate impacts handling quite noticably. If you swap out the MM for a LM mount you can use the stock LM damper as F1nutz has in his post. If you still wish to use the MM mount (or have no choice but to) then you can either add an aftermarket damper plate or make your own.

It's easy to make your own using one of my favourite materials that are free: old credit/bank cards.
After cutting out the three pieces (top and bottom circle plates and the middle doughnut plate) file down the shock screw mount which is attached to the top of the motor mount in order to lower it a few millis.
Use a few 3mm DArt urethane washers to add some pressure to the centre plate (in lieu of springs) and tighten the screw till everything is snug. The tighter the screw the stiffer the movement.

Spray Booth Number Three
My first spray booth was the basement kitchen fan with a big cardboard box. Overspray wasn't an issue since the basement was eventually going to be renovated. I painted about 60+ cars before having to make changes.
After the renovations, I moved the spray area closer to the kitchen window. But the fan was actually higher in the room than the kitchen fan, and was less effective even with a much bigger fan. It moved the smelly air out of the room. But the overspray dust was like a cloud slowly moving to the floor. Let's just agree that it was a total failure. I painted one or two HO cars, and decided to undo everything. It was either outside, or nothing now.
I needed to use gravity to my advantage. So far it's been working against me.
I bought a wardrobe box from U-Haul for $19.95. It measures 24"x24"x48" inches closed. 60" inches tall with the top flaps open. It barely fits in the shower stall. I installed two 6" inch vents at the back to evacuate the fumes. A plywood plate was cut to perfectly fit into the window slot. Two 6" inch metal joiners were glued into the plywood plate for the flexible hose. The shower has a plastic drop-sheet lining the entire thing. You can't be too safe.
I have hanging lights on both sides so I can see properly.
Blocks were glued to keep the flaps open.
The evacuation vents had to be staggered because they didn't quite fit beside each other.
When the booth isn't being used. The plate and flexible ductwork are at rest beside the sink.
It was finished last night. Ted came over with an unpainted Pioneer Mustang today, and the booth is an absolute success. The overspray cloud falls to the bottom of the box. Nothing escapes into the washroom itself except barely a light smell. You can't smell the fumes outside the washroom door with the door wide open. Perfect.
The power for the booth comes from an old 24" inch fan. It moves enough air to easily dilute the fumes. I need to watch that I don't leave it running too long after painting. It removes a lot of warmth from the house very quickly.
Thank you very kindly for looking.

The Zing II
Version II of the Zing debuted last Saturday:
This version incorporates a few lessons learned from the first one along with some new features. I also abandoned a few ideas I had after building the original...
Made from painted RAM board this portable track has an approximate footprint of 17' x 8' and despite the small size and simple layout it packs a lot of racing fun in the space.
With a half turn of each of the border wall barrier screws the borders themselves can be removed and the track rolled up so that it can be put away or transported. Slide the borders into the 8' long roll and it all fits neatly into a minivan or SUV...
As for the track itself average track width is 30" - more than enough. Track borders are made from 7/8" high painted flexi-ply covered with non-marking 2mm black and white EVA foam which was hot glued to the flexi-ply. The walls follow the contour of the track therefore impacts tend to be glancing, not head on. For this reason thicker foam padding wasn't used especially at the ends of the layout but can be added if further testing warrants. Time will tell.
The borders are fixed to the cardboard edges by sliding them onto the cardboard and then tightening the screw in each mounting block - one per block - each spaced roughly 12" apart - so that the screw bites into the cardboard pressing it against the base of the block itself. Remarkably these borders still have some flex too.
Two sets of curbs define two racing lines - one more challenging than the other - use all of the same ones or mix them up. Movable red/white and black/white tire stacks placed inside either curb section deter short-cutting. While the red/white inner curbing uses 'bumpy' 2mm thick EVA foam the outer black/white curbs are just painted. Curbs on the outside of the main straight also provide a safe lane for slower cars to allow faster ones to pass so dealing with lapped traffic should be straightforward especially on such a short track.
The flat acrylic paint offers the perfect amount of grip - not too much to flip a car.
This track is somewhat bumpy but not at the seams. I made the mistake of painting it AFTER joining the sections... if you paint the board then join them you will get a smooth surface. Joints were made by adding a 5" wide painted strip of the same RAM board on the underside of the joint and both halves of the track were stuck snuggly together on top. Duct tape was also used underneath on both long edges of the 5" strip. I'm happy with the seams - and added a few to test other techniques - including some sloppy ones to see if they had any adverse impact. So far not...
The bumps that exist are gentle 'rolling' ones and therefore manageable - they don't upset the direction of the car since the tires never lose contact with the surface - so no sudden changes in direction or unpredictable behaviour. It is fascinating to me to see the suspension do what it was designed to. I find it quite pleasing to watch the model negotiate an imperfectly flat track surface.
This track runs well in both directions although my preferred direction is counter-clockwise.
There is no pit lane yet but one can be added easily... we'll see...
For timing I used the Android app 'LapTrax' which uses the camera and tracks cars by colour as they cross the start/finish line - it works fine so far but this isn't a long term solution. When the time comes I'm leaning towards using EasyLap hardware with micro transponders. Trakmate has a timing solution as well but I'm not that keen to use it myself for several reasons.
After all of the moveable/removable tire stack clusters are added scenery will be made for the infield and then billboards to surround the outside corners then some sort of pit area/grandstand detail - whether pictures or lightweight facade... stay tuned... provided I don't head straight into the table top version next... perhaps a combined 1:24 slot car track and Mini-Z track... who knows...
While racing the 1:27.5 Group C and GT models is a great start I see adapting 1:24 model kits to the Mini-Z platform as the future - Classic LeMans but RC 1:24 scale!!! Imagine!!! A Porsche 917/10 head to head against a Ferrari 512 Coda Lunga... hmmmm... who says it can't be done?

Mini-Z Light Kit Socket Mapping and Connector
For anyone interested in making their own Mini-Z light kit here is a pin map for the onboard ZH 1.5mm 4 pin light socket:
Remember that the headlight circuit is controlled by a trim knob on the KT531P transmitter which can adjust the headlight LEDs from a slow flashing to constant on while the brake circuit is controlled by the throttle trigger which makes the red tail lights become brighter when the brakes are applied.
You can find the connector on Amazon which comes with pre-crimped wires:
3mm 3v LEDs seem to be the best bet for most head/tail lamp openings. You can use them without adding resisters. Since they don't draw much power you can add as many as you want. Experimenting with other power sources (from the gyro socket or any other onboard tabs) may give interesting LED options even if those additional circuits would need to include a resister.

RWD LM 102mm (3L) to 98mm (LL) wheelbase conversion
Ok so I had some time today to experiment a little so I decided to try and convert my LM chassis to fit an Acura NSX MM body.
It took about an hour to do and the only modification I had to make was to remove about 2mm of plastic from the front edge of the shock restrictor plate hole. Suspension travel is minimal but the wheelbase now fits!
I also swapped the wheels and reassembled the LM/MM T plate in the MM position. We’ll see how it runs next time we do a test session.

April 15/16, 2016 – Iron-Finger 6 Hour Endurance Challenge – The Ring
Iron-Finger 6 Hour** Endurance Challenge Result
Primary Racer: Art
Distance: 2,715 Laps (Yellow) = 59,789.31meters (59.79km)
Fastest Lap: 6.169 seconds*
*on the last lap
Casual Racer: Frank
Distance: 2,065 Laps (Red) = 45,467.17meters (45.47km)
Fastest Lap: 6.269 seconds
**real time using a Rogers mobile device dictated the exact length of the challenge and not the elapsed time (seconds) displayed on the practice screen (6 hours should equal 21,600 seconds) since prior testing revealed that the elapsed time displayed on the practice screen is not accurate enough over such a long session.
Cheers to Frank for both participating and racing in this event! :good:

It was a lovely Fly Juncadella Chevron B21! Well done BiG!
Our next place finisher JMs chose this DArt body kit:
Next, DwM made his selection:

Up next MiA chose his wrapped door prize - he unwrapped a Lindberg model kit and five BWMS050 motors:

Classic Era Challenge I (1966-1971) – February 2, 2018 @ The Ring
It doesn't get any simpler than this for those of you who just want to go fast with any ready to run NSR, Slot.It or other manufacturer's model or build your own to race - any motor, any chassis, any configuration and hardly any rules - a mandatory marked tire will keep it fair but the rest is up to each of you. Want to race your NSR out of the box just with tires? Go for it. Want to tune the crap out of your NSR? Go for it. Want to build your own torsion or rattle pan chassis? Go for it. Want to race your hand wound motor? Go for it. Don't want to read too many rules? Great! Can't read? Don't worry... Like to argue over rules? Too bad - nothing to argue about here... Almost anything goes.
Simple Rules & Guidelines
Open to any Prototype (P) or Sportscar (S), regardless of displacement, that competed between 1966 and 1971 in any endurance race which was part of the World Sportscar Championship or International Championship sanctioned by the FIA. By endurance race we mean a race lasting many hours (ie. 24, 12, 6) or over a large distance (ie. 1000k). Headlights are not a requirement (if the model raced did not have them) nor must headlights be functional.
Bodies must be hard plastic/resin with period appropriate (actual or fantasy) livery. No two entries may have the same race number. Race numbers will be reserved or assigned (see below).
Interiors may be made from any material. There is no minimum level of detail required by either a body or interior but attention to detail will always be appreciated.
Rear tires must be marked Darts for this event/series and will be available in the following sizes: D11, SI0201 (or NC0102) and NC0101.
This event is open to any adult with an eligible model and controller.
Any model that compromises the track for others in any way will not be permitted or will be removed from the track.
Reserving Your Race Number & Purchasing Marked DArts
One (1) number may be reserved or will be assigned (absent a request) for each pair of marked DArt tires purchased up to a maximum of 3 per participant regardless of how many pair of marked DArts are purchased by anyone. Numbers will be reserved or confirmed upon receipt of payment (pickup may be on a later date or even at the event). The deadline to purchase your DArts (or reserve your racing number(s)) will be midnight the day prior to the event. Multiple models may qualify but only the top entry for each participant will advance. NO loaners or substitutions after qualifying has begun and all models will be impounded from that point on.
Contact me to order/purchase your marked DArt tires by email: [email protected].
NEW Format:
All models must either qualify or advance through elimination heats to make it to the A main for a chance to win or place in this event/series. Starting position will be assigned by random draw and all participants will have an opportunity to qualify for or advance all the way to the A main. Since this is FREE there will be no guaranteed minimum number of minutes raced. The number of participants will dictate the exact format chosen.
More Information, including a list of reserved (or available) race numbers, will be found below. Right now, all numbers, including three digit numbers, are available.
Looking forward hopefully this can become a series hosted at other tracks too, perhaps on a monthly basis. For now we will start next Friday here at The Ring... :good:
Please spread this link around to everyone who you believe may wish to participate regardless of with whom or where they raced in the past or present. Everyone is welcome.

Classic Era Challenge II (1966 – 1971) – March 24, 2018 @ MVL
After some time away from the Molto VeLoce Circuit located in Oakville ON Scratch32 and R32 will be returning to this prestigious exotic car location and their 4 lane custom routed slot car track by DArt. The first event tentatively scheduled for MVL will be the second round of the ‘R32 Classic Era Challenge’ on Saturday March 24, 2018 at 11am. [This was originally scheduled for March 17 but scheduling issues required a change to March 24.] Orange dot tires are mandatory – and the rules remain as before:
1) Open to any Prototype (P) or Sportscar (S), regardless of displacement, that competed between 1966 and 1971 in any endurance race which was part of the World Sportscar Championship or International Championship sanctioned by the FIA. By endurance race we mean a race lasting many hours (ie. 24, 12, 6) or over a large distance (ie. 1000k). Headlights are not a requirement (if the model raced did not have them) nor must headlights be functional.
2) Bodies must be hard plastic/resin with period appropriate (actual or fantasy) livery. No two entries may have the same race number. Race numbers will be reserved or assigned (see below).
3) Interiors may be made from any material. There is no minimum level of detail required by either a body or interior but attention to detail will always be appreciated.
4) Rear tires must be marked orange dot Darts for this event/series and will be available in the following sizes: D11, SI0201 (or NC0102) and NC0101.
5) This event is open to any adult with an eligible model and controller.
6) Any model that compromises the track for others in any way will not be permitted or will be removed from the track.
Reserving Your Race Number & Purchasing Marked DArts
One (1) number may be reserved or will be assigned (absent a request) for each pair of marked DArt tires purchased up to a maximum of 3 per participant regardless of how many pair of marked DArts are purchased by anyone. Numbers will be reserved or confirmed upon receipt of payment (pickup may be on a later date or even at the event). The deadline to purchase your DArts (or reserve your racing number(s)) will be midnight the day prior to the event. Multiple models may qualify but only the top entry for each participant will advance. NO loaners or substitutions after qualifying has begun and all models will be impounded from that point on.
Contact me to order/purchase your marked DArt tires by email: [email protected].
Our assigned racing number list so far:
[table id=6 /]
Everyone who wishes to participate on Saturday March 24, 2018 must log in and register below regardless of whether or not they already have their assigned racing numbers (limit of 3). Those that do not have a scratch32 account or need to acquire their orange dot tires and/or racing numbers must contact me as soon as possible by email at: [email protected]
