RRA REVOSLOT PROXY BUILDS

[REL13]

I got my car the other day. Now I have to get it ready.

[Austin]

The Black Apple, looks ready to me.

[REL13]

I am thinking of changing the guide flag and I have to glue and true the tires.

[Brumos RSR]

Doc, I was going through the rules there was this regarding tape: Body screws must be stock; they can be taped over to prevent loss during the race. The tape may not control body or pod movement.

[Kevan]

docdoom The standard tyres are best, the softer ones ball up like crazy.

Here's my entry.

[gsnopoint]

Still working out some kinks on my Supra.....
Tried the lower shore tires, seemed to slow it down a bit.

[ALS]

We can't change the guild out I don't think . Check the Rules.

[REL13]

ALS, The rules says, Only Revoslot stock guides are allowed 7mm or 9mm. I changed my guide to a Revoslot 9mm.

[ALS]

Ok didn't see that Thanks

[REL13]

Doing some testing.

[REL13]

I have put about 900 laps on it. It's smooth, but not fast. Maybe I got dud motor. But I am not buying another one. It is what it is. Someone has to finish last.

[Kevan]

'EVERYONE has at least 1 Revoslot'

No they don't...but most of those that do have more than one.

[REL13]

No, I didn't have one. I got one now just for this Proxy.

[Brumos RSR]

I’m declaring this one done, it turns 1.5 more laps in 3 minutes than my F40 currently so it’s about 2/10ths faster per lap. I may do some weight tuning for balance a definitely call it after that. I will continue to work on the F40 as I feel on paper it should be he faster car.

Specs
Porsche GT2 Mk1
12/33 gears
Revoslot 21k motor
Wide rear wheels
22 shore tires
aligned front and rear
no tape under the brass nuts. It didn’t work well for me.
9mm guide
1.00mm clearance

[War Eagle River]

Wow!

[Ragtopman]

Damn! That looks sick!! Need to get my sunglasses tho😎

[Austin]

WOW that car looks great

[Ragtopman]

Next RevoSlot proxy I must enter. Never, ever done a proxy but I should do one at some point, right?

[Brumos RSR]

This will be the best way to start as the rules are simple, War Eagle River has given us the Formula and the Revoslots go well out the box. Come get in the waters just right

[Austin]

Still time for this one,

[Ragtopman]

PM sent Austin. Thanks Austin and Brumos. I am going to test out the waters. 😬

[REL13]

Brumos RSR, That's a sharp looking car.

[Brumos RSR]

Thank you it took 2 years to finish the body as other slot car projects were first. Then Sir Superslab built a killer Viper for the GT3 proxy and I was inspired.

[dungeonracer]

bushings aligned, mesh set tires trued etc.

Where does a RevoSlot have bushings?? Unless you're aligning the bushings in the motor

[Brumos RSR]

I made the edit to read bearings. It’s a habit sorry. But......will it run better on a bronze bushing? Hmmm

[REL13]

Maybe they put in wheel bushings in, instead of the bearing. The rules say free choice.

[Ragtopman]

Count me in Guys! Team Ferrari is here🇮🇹 Time to get to work and try and catch up a bit. Austin, please put me down for #68. I also sent a PM the other day. Please let me know what else I need to do. Thanks and this should be fun!

[Brumos RSR]

Definitely keep us posted on your progress. I love the F40 model

[gsnopoint]

My Supra Pumpkin...
I have a question on the tracks... Is there going to be an issue with guide depth on some venues? asking for a friend. The Revo's come with 2 different guides, 7mm and 9mm.

[Brumos RSR]

I’m running the 9mm guide filed down to a point where it just bottoms out on my Scalextric track. That way it will fit deeper in the slot than 7mm. Canadian track owners who may have a Revo or 2 let’s us know. My next Revo will be a Supra then I’m really done.

[gsnopoint]

Going to run the 7mm just in case. Saw a post on the Can-Am proxy that a few tracks would be an issue with deeper guides.
