    • 1:28 Decals For Mini Z decals I've found: MZ Decals from Japan - if you can find them - excellent quality - check Japanese online retailers - I ordered and received a set for the green and white 'efini' Mazda 787B from Studio27; Print Lab Decals - on demand - not sure about the quality since I haven't ordered any yet - but a little pricey - available from SpotModel - they have a good selection of GT3 sets and one Sauber Mercedes C9 set with both the YSL & Michelin liveries; Pattos Place - all of his water slide and vinyl decals are available in 1:28 (for the 1:24 price) - and are well priced around $14AU - email your order and ask for them in 1:28 - pay via paypal - he now has improved waterslide silk ink or laser sharp versions in addition to his vinyl - I just ordered all 3 sets in the laser sharp waterslide for the 1998 & 1999 Toyota GT One so I'll find out how good they really are after they arrive and report back here. If you find any 1:28 decals anywhere else please let us know and provide links too. Hope this helps your Mini Z journey... Cheers!

    • Toschi Ferrari 500 F2 Replica From regisbaron4446 shared on Instagram: [Roughly Translated] Aligned the axles which was tricky. I will make the aluminium wheels with wire spokes and knockoffs next.   Despite my research, I still do not know who made in France this aluminum copy of the famous promotional toy made for the ltalian distillery Toschi. In 1954, the great drivers, Juan-Manuel Fangio, Nino Farina, Aberto Ascari, Piero Taruffi and Maurice Trintignant received a copy filled with these 3 bottles of liqueur.

    • Painting More Inserts Painted some inserts for a fellow slot enthusiast: Black isn't just black. Use a subtle dirt wash on the sides of the four spokes. Bring out your wire detail... if you don't want to sand out the detail you can use a wash: Spray with aluminium. Brush on flat black diluted 50/50 with iso alc. Brush on a dirt wash 50/50. Chrome knock off raised centre ring and tips only. DArt 450WIRE3KO wire wheel inserts were used. Customized 4 spoke McLaren 490 Inserts are made using 450LOT4SPKO with the centre knock off removed and 490ADAPTER added (fixed in place using 5 min. epoxy). These will fit standard Slot.It wheels now. Visit the DArt eSHOP for these inserts.

    • 1986 Benetton B186 My favourite F1 livery... The BMW Benetton B186 from the 1986 Hungarian GP piloted by Austrian Gerhard Berger. Rumoured to have had the highest HP engine in F1 history and if memory serves I believe set the fastest top speed ever recorded by an F1 car.

    • ‘Mini’ Bugatti Type 35 [Translated] From Instagram: In 1927, Ettore Bugatti made for his youngest son Roland, a mini Type 35, which was very successful. A small series of less than 500 copies will eventually be produced, all numbered and reserved in priority for the brand's loyal customer. (Young Prince - the future king of Morocco, Hassan I, is offered a Bugatti Baby, accompanied by his father, on the occasion of their visit to the Molsheim factories. The future king of Belgium, Baudouin, child, was also offered a copy) They are powered by a Paris Rhône electric motor powered by a 12-volt battery and linked by a crown sprocket to the rear axle. The aluminum sheet metal is mounted on a chassis, top speed of 18km/h. The front hood is held up by two leather straps, and the steering wheel is marked inside one of the "Baby 34" branches. The vehicle has a front blade suspension on a rigid axle. The rear has a fixed rigid axle. Front pivots and rear axle are now greasers. Direction, visually, is transmitted by kneepads and bars. The dashboard is equipped with a load control amp and a contactor/inverter (reversing/stop/forward step). Acceleration is ensured by a pedal that acts on a rheostat at 6 positions. The workout is done on the right rear wheel (creating a sort of differential), via a multiplier. And drum brake, on all 4 wheels, is cable controlled using a hand lever located on the right side, outside of the vehicle.

    • 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. [video width="1920" height="1080" mp4="https://scale-modeler.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/MR-03-RWD-MM-Damper.mp4"][/video] 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.

    • 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?

    • Large Scale Model Kits 4 Mini-Z To help assist anyone interested in mating a 1:24/25 larger scale model kit body to a Mini-Z chassis I created a table which lists the wheelbase and front/rear tracks of various model kits to determine which might be easier to do. If you are in a position to contribute data for inclusion in this table simply reply below with the relevant particulars. Cheers! [table id=7 /]

    • 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.

    • 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:

    • Monday, July 17, 2017 (6:30 – 10:00pm) Building a Scratch Sidewinder Chassis By request this is a session on building/soldering a scratch built sidewinder chassis out of brass/piano wire for a class/body yet to be determined. Although I am far from an expert on building a scratch built sidewinder chassis myself I will host this opportunity for those that are interested to watch just how I tackle this project in real time. No need to bring anything. Just register for the session below. We'll have pizza and refreshments as usual. Follow this topic for further information. When: Monday July 17, 2017 - 6:30 - 10:00pm Where: The Ring :wacko: [seatt-form event_id=2]

    • 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 III (1966 – 1971) – August 10, 2018 @ The Ring After some head scratching, a few postponements and a venue change it is finally time to get the ball rolling for Round III. Due to the season a smaller turnout is expected which means that those who do attend will get much more racing in... so in the famous words of Whitesnake - 'Here we go again':Over the next few days I'll post the # list we have so far along with event details. The rules are pretty simple - any model with a hard body/shell that competed in an endurance race during this period whether RTR, 'unobtainium', made by NASA or pulled from thin air with DArt 'Orange Dot' club urethane tires. Should anyone need orange dot tires please let me know. If you do not yet have your racing #s or if you have any other questions this is the topic to reply to.

    • R32 XXVI @ The Ring – July 1, 2019 What better way to cap off a long weekend and Canada Day specifically? Projecting an intimate turnout means even more laps for those that do attend. Rumour has it that the DArt Auto Union Type C will be released this day too - just in time for the next Coppa D'oro - and another reason to come by... see everyone at the races!

    • Classic Era Challenge Cup V (1966-1971) Gentlemen, it is time once again for the fifth edition of our Classic Era Challenge Cup (1966 – 1971) now scheduled for Saturday, February 2, 2019 @ Molto VeLoce (MVL). The rules remain the same. Mandatory orange dot DArt club urethane tires on the rear wheels AND hard plastic body that raced in a period endurance race with any period fantasy livery ARE REQUIRED. The rest is up to you… any material… RTR or scratch… Simple Rules & Guidelines v1.0 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 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]. 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. So, you may qualify up to three models but must choose one to race. Remember to use your assigned numbers for those models you wish to qualify. Timed practice will start at 10:00am… followed by qualifying and then the race. Here is our current list of registered numbers which will be updated in real time: [table id=6 /]

    • A Decade of Spa Lyons! More Than A Decade of Spa Lyons! In the growing metropolis of Milton, ON (just west of Toronto along the 401) you will find Porsche911's circuit Spa Lyons which has given 1:32 racers thrills, chills & spills on one of the largest fully scenerized 3 lane layouts in Southern Ontario. One of the very first DArt layouts this circuit features both 4" and 3" lane spacing, long straights, plenty of fast and medium speed corners plus a hairpin squeeze at the last corner! This gallery of Spa Lyons includes recent pictures from yours truly plus others taken many years ago by Dr. Vanski. Enjoy! [foogallery id="19772"]

    • Introduction to The Ring – A Few Photographs You'll find a few pictures taken over the years from the inception of The Ring up to the present. Those of you familiar enough with this circuit may spot several additions to track that are missing from most of these pictures... enjoy! [foogallery id="20182"] All of the structures and nearly all of the trees (hemlocks, willow, aspen and others) are scratch built or hand made. Originally the Koni triangle tower at the Start/Finish line was lit with a rice bulb but as with most of the lights including those in the pit lane they've burned out and must be replaced. Perhaps a move to LEDs is in order one day. The start line has coloured LED lane markers embedded flush to the track surface which are still as bright as when they were installed - useful back when the Slot.It 2.4h enduros ran both evening and night rotations... originally the inside lane was blue but because I had a bag of green, yellow and red LEDS it was switched to green - not that it matters... I even forgot that. Given the footprint of the room I've packed as much track as I think I could marshal comfortably. Several years back I did contemplate adding an extension to the existing circuit in the form of an upper level suspended immediately above the track but decided against that for multiple reasons - thankfully so. If I were to reroute this circuit again I would do away with the squeeze and migrate to using a dead strip but I don't think I would change anything else... Given that all three lane lengths are within 3/4 of an inch, there are an equal number of left and right corners, 3 1/2" lane spacing throughout which is perfect for 1:32, a 19' long straight with driver stations close together in the same location and every corner can be comfortably marshaled I'm not sure I could improve the current layout. At 72' it is just enough of a challenge to reward both models that are set up properly and a skilled and consistent racing style. Now that I am older the wooden stools at each of the marshaling posts are a luxury I cannot do without. I may still add three stools for the racers one day but it isn't in the budget right now. Time will tell. My two monitor system seems to work well enough without any ghosting and even though my eyes aren't what they once were I still have no problem seeing the small font size while setting up heats. Not seeing what you are doing is just too frustrating. I've always used the SlotTrak software (which is now freeware) since it allows so many choices setting up heats and together with my Trackmate timing hardware and my 20 year old notebook computer SlotTrak has been bullet proof. The only problems on a race night have been user induced... specifically me not correctly formatting the heats or screwing something or other up... I used to enjoy chasing that faster lap, long race heats, hosting all day long enduro style racing events, iron fingers and hosting groups of 10 or 12 racers. Now I'm just fine and quite happy with slow but period correct scratch built models carefully and respectfully circling a clean, smooth and unproblematic track in a comfortable environment with shorter heats along with good company in a much smaller group - so much so that my next routed track (if there is one) will be just two lanes at most. We'll see... The perfect number of participants for racing at The Ring is 7 - 3 racers and 4 marshals. Any more and someone is just watching and not participating. Track calls can still be avoided with 6 participants but with 5 or fewer they become a necessity in certain areas. So for these reasons participation at The Ring will be capped at 7 for the foreseeable future - whether or not a cap is even needed may be moot since it has been quite some time since The Ring has even hosted as many as 7 builders...
