    • The 1954 Pegaso Z102 Cabriolet Saoutchik 2a Serie Street The Spanish company Pegaso is well-known for its trucks, busses and tractors but many people don't know that for a period of 7 years, the marque took a jaunt into the world of sportscar building – resulting in this, the Pegaso Z-102. This beautiful little car is the only Saoutchik Cabriolet Pegaso Z-102 Series II ever made, the coachwork on the body is jaw-dropping from every angle and the factory model was fitted with a 165hp, 2,814 cc quad-overhead camshaft V-8 with a 2-barrel Weber carburettor implies that it also has the legs to make it a hell of a fun drive. It was decided that the chassis, drivetrain and engine would all be built in house by Pegaso and then the rolling units would be shipped off to coachbuilders to have bodies fitted – in the tradition of pre-WWII automakers. This one-off Z-102 Series II Cabriolet was built by Saoutchik and was arguably the most beautiful of the 88 or so cars ever made by the company. In 2013 this model went for $700,000 USD at auction. Cut and paste this link on your browser to view it.   https://youtu.be/S1R2KPRz_B8 Some links with information and photos https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Paris_-_Retromobile_2014_-_Pegaso_Z-102_Série_II_cabriolet_-_1954_-_001.jpg https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Pegaso_Z-102 THIS BUILD The body of this model is from the Pegaso Collection by Top Slot.  It's a highly detailed & finished resin body with a production run of only 300 worldwide.  The model came with an MRRC Seabring chassis which didn't work very well with this heavy 50+ gram resin body.  I replaced the original chassis with a custom aluminum chassis and used my Dremel tool to carve out a lot of excess resin material under the hood, to give this model a chance at being a decently performing slot car.   The following are some photos of the model and the aluminum chassis.  White wall tires are Dart tires.

    • Latest rendering Latest build from Spa Skunkwerks, who knew same in German as in English! :>) No special build, just FLY white kit 908/3, all my home made decals save for rondels...Accompanied in pics by prior ventures(not posted) Not perfect, need to perfect burnishing tape, negate 'bleed', but I think it passes the 3/30 litmus test, 3 feet away and 30KM LOL!! And evidently, I am driving it! Sadly, nowhere near performance of others built, have to spend some time(not too much) to figure out...

    • Where to source Rondels/Numbers Hi gents, Where do you get your decals from? I know the specific liveries are great from Indycals, but I'm looking  for rondels/numbers, of varying fonts ideally, and more 60-70's centric style.... I've created many of my own decals, sponsor wise, but they're really only good on certain coloured cars, as of course I don't have an ALPS printer... I did buy some from SCC a few years ago but I've only had limited success, I usually ruin about 1 out 4 or 2 out of 4, even though I put a 'bonder' on prior to application, they seem to pull apart, disintegrate, VERY aggravating. I'd like to get some rondels that have perhaps a thin outer 'edge' in black, blue, red etc., and also numbers in Black, and white as well(use without rondel).I have made my own rondels with White decal paper and a punch, and they're not too bad, I can afford to ruin a few... :>) Appreciate suggestions, thanks in advance!

    • Willys Gasser Style Coupe More than a year has gone by since the initial post #17570... and in my spare time, I built a gasser. I was inspired by some of the photos I found on the web.  There are many. The body of my Gasser is a stock Carrera Willys coupe model with an aluminum chassis under it.                              The front sits high and can easily be modified by adjusting the length of the body posts. This will be done once the rules are                              determined.  At the moment this model can be raced in the hot rod class.                             The chassis is powered by a 14k ff motor.  The complete model tips the scale at 82 grams, making it a slow hot rod due to its weight disadvantage.  Depending on the final ride height, it will require weight to lower its COG which will likely put this model over 90 grams when complete.  I have a wider set of rear wheels for this model but I built it to meet our current HR rules until the Gasser rules are set.                            A the moment F1nutz and I will be racing only with each other... lets get building gents!

    • Lest we forget Great respect to all those whom have served our Country, to keep it strong and free, and especially those that made the ultimate sacrifice. In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.   We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields.   Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

    • Nova Ridge Saturday October 15, 2022 Art Thanks again for hosting another day of racing at this fabulous venue.  Looking forward to the next one.   See attached the photo of the guide wire that just snapped off my Stratos G5 car.  This has always been an issue with these cars when using the stock set up with set screws.  Now I have a reason to swap the set screws with brass eyelets.

    • Honda RA 271 I have always liked the Honda F1 cars and own the excellent DArt Honda RA 273.  I purchased a "Munter" John Warren Honda RA271 kit over a year ago. The inserts provided were too large to fit the RS Slot 15 x 7 wheels so DArt inserts were used instead along with DArt tires, mirrors, and the red Sun off a DArt decal sheet The resin exhausts looked too fragile so I bent some copper wire and reproduced the exhaust system. The driver figure has seat belts molded in however I believe they were not used in the real world of 1964.  Since I was not aiming for total accuracy, I decided to use it along with a car # that was not used during the season. So here it is.

    • Group25 show spoils I reserved a table at yesterdays Group25 show last fall or I would have been at Nova Ridge. I bought more than I sold. Oops. The 1/32 Russian Yak-18 will eventually be hung as a decoration above my new track. It will be painted as a stunt/show plane. The red Strombecker Chapparal 2D is an odd looking thing. You can't have too many Camaro's. Can you? I bought five 1/25 kits. I might turn one into a slot car.

Thank you for hosting, it was a fun day of racing with a great group of guys.  Too many close battles in every class to mention. We are all very lucky to be able to race at such an incredible venue.  I'm looking forward to the next race. Ken, it was great to see you out and enjoying our favorite hobby!

    • New track in the east Basic plans have been drawn up by Art to make a 2-lane new track in my basement. Art was kind enough to take on the task of fitting a small track into a tiny basement. I don't have a name for it yet. Maybe the KRZ Twister? Name suggestions are most welcome. The final dimensions will be on a 5' foot by 10' foot base. The closest rooms to the track are the washroom and kitchen. It should work out well to host races for small groups. Everything in life is time sensitive. I should have done this a few years ago. Thank you to Art for accepting the challenge.

    • …and another thing… Since we were speaking about Sunbeams and Ken’s kit that he will hopefully mold yesterday I thought I’d post a pic of my 1/24 Sunbeam Tiger. It is complete with Maxwell Smart and shoe phone. Hands free devices weren’t required by law in the 60’s ;) The old Revell chassis under a model kit trick!

    • Ferrari 246 SP Dino The sharknose Grand Prix car evolved in the early 60's at the same time as the sportscar. Racing in 1961 and 1962 the Ferrari 246 SP achieved some success. Here is Rodriquez in the Targa. I opted to fashion his french team mate. I started with the DArt body kit. I planned to mate this kit to an ASS (A Simple Sled) chassis. So far so good...

    • The long search for a DB5 I bought a static Airfix DB5 kit a while back in hopes to make a slot car. I brought it home and found the body warped and unbuildable. I brought it back for exchange. I waited two weeks for another kit. I opened it up at the store and it too was unbuildable. I got my money back. I saw another Airfix DB5 kit at another hobby store several weeks later. I paid for it and opened the box in the store. Another warped body. That's three warped/unbuildable kits in a row. I have been eyeing this Scalex 2019 revival livery for quite a while. Everything in life is time sensitive, so I gave in. I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do with it yet. But it looks better on my shelf than in the store. Plastic chassis slow sports car maybe?

    • Quick Vic Sadly, Quick Vic passed away a few days ago. Excerpt below, followed by link to full article. Seeing the true extent of his skill, Porsche continued to award Elford bigger opportunities leading up to 1968—perhaps the height of his career. He famously won the Monte Carlo Rally and the 24 Hours of Daytona in the span of one week, going on to win the Targa Florio and the Nurburgring 1000 that spring. In July 1968 Elford drove an obsolete Cooper T86B to a fourth-place finish in his first F1 start on a wet Rouen-Les-Essarts circuit. He won his class twice at Le Mans, and was the first driver to lap the Circuit de la Sarthe at over 150mph (in a Porsche 917 longtail). Though he’s best known for his rally and endurance racing accomplishments behind the wheels of various Porsche racing cars, he also competed in Can-Am, Trans Am, NASCAR, British rallycross, and even the Paris-Dakar rally raid. Elford was awarded the French Order of Merit in 1972 after stopping mid-race to attend to the scene of Jo Bonnier’s fatal crash at Le Mans.

    • Auto Union Type D – Dart Kit For this build, I have used the recently released Dart kit of the Auto Union Type D.  As usual, the quality of the kit is second to none and it comes with two driver busts and seat options, large wired inserts and a long styrene tube with two brass push in threaded inserts to be installed as body posts where needed. I decided to mate the body with an aluminium chassis (KRZ Design) that I made specifically for this model.  The BWA 14k ff motor is glued onto the chassis with 5 minute epoxy.  I decided to use wired wheels that were purchased from Pendle. You will note that there is the appearance of significant tire degradation to the front wheels on this model-it wasn't due to the photo taken after a race.  I'll be replacing these rubber tires that came with the wheels with Dart urethane that will be trued to the same size. The model as shown in the photos includes the smaller half bust that came with the kit but it is evident that this option requires a thick seat cushion otherwise the driver can barely see over the hood.  I'll be replacing the half bust with a modified full body to achieve the most realistic result. The model runs very well, and is competitive, with my Auto Union Type C and Mercedes Benz W125.  Based on early test results, this type D outpaces the other two. A new entry for the next Coppa D PGP+ race with Tazio Nuvolari behind the wheel to join Bernd Rosemeyer in the type C and Rudolf Caracciola in the W125. Thanks for looking.

    • Vintage Mini’s A new class of cars raced a Riverhampton is the Vintage Mini's.  The class is limited to only Scalextric 1960's vintage Mini Cooper's and Morris Mini's.   It's a slow class, therefore the stock 18-22k slim ff motor must be replaced with a BWA 14k motor.  Any pinion is allowed to be paired with the tiny stock 20T crown gear.  This is a turtle race and guaranteed to be fun.

    • More Updates & Some Success! Over the past few weeks we've had some major updates to our website and, it appears, fingers crossed, that the issues we had previously of some accounts not being able to post automatically have been resolved. Nothing I've done recently in the settings solved this but an upgrade finally did. Yahoo!! Next up - to figure out why our website is so slow... but that is another chapter in this saga...

    • 1936 Auto Union Type C – #4 Bernd Rosemeyer This is a PGP+ class eligible model for our Pre War Coppa D'oro series. The main restrictions for this class (apart from the mandated motor) are a maximum track of 50.8mm (excluding inserts which may extend beyond) and maximum tire diameter of 23mm. Of course all tires must be DArt club series urethanes and wheels cannot exceed 16.5mm in diameter nor be wider than 5.5mm... so armed with that info we can begin building something eligible...The basis for this build was the DArt Auto Union C Type body kit with a few modifications and upgrades. As always I begin with the wheels which I modified by turning down a set of 4 DArt DA16x9XL alloy wheels. I carefully mounted 4 DA0210 club series tires using clear Gorilla Glue after scuffing the outer rim surface and let them dry overnight before truing with my Hudy. Using the truer I also narrowed the front tires using a sharp Xacto knife. After sorting the overall tire diameters I gathered some small bushings and the rest of the parts needed including the low power BWMS050 motor with a 1.5mm 10T pinion. Initially I also opted for an aftermarket 23T crown gear but then went with the orange 25T gear instead after initial testing. I opted for a simple torsion chassis using a combination of piano wire and brass. The front end would use stub axles made from piano wire with DuBro No2 steel washers soldered on one end. Because the washers were too large in diameter they needed to be ground down to fit within my front axle braces. I also fabricated the motor mount and guide sleeve. After sanding all of the parts I soldered the rear end together. Then I made the front section. The front and rear sections are only held together with piano wire tabs that slide inside a small brass tube. By gently pulling them apart (and out of the tube) you can separate the front and rear halves of the chassis which allows for convenient cleaning and maintenance. The wire tension is enough to hold it in place. Before final re-assembly I made sure to clean any flux residue before applying a blackening treatment to all of the chassis parts using a disposable dollar store brush. Make sure you are happy with the chassis - because after you apply the blackening chemical treatment to the steel you won't be able to solder anything to it. While the steel does turn black the brass is more stubborn and will only give you an antique look at best - but I still prefer this to painting anyday - and I prefer to take away the shine of brass (or steel) especially on exposed parts that don't reflect the real thing. I painted the wire wheel inserts that came with the kit and after final assembly I glued them in place using white glue. The assembled chassis weighs in at 45.7g.. I wanted to use as much of a complete pilot and interior so I modified the original body by opening up the cockpit. I also extended the cockpit slightly by removing material up to the recess for the original windscreen (which I would replace with a more detailed windscreen from the DArt Type D body kit).The painted and washed body shell (without interior and exterior detail) now weighs 9.6g. Decals which I printed on clear Testor's decal sheeting were applied. I also used Micro Mark decals for the front grill detail. Then I made firewalls which could be glued in place using thin styrene sheeting. Other upgraded parts included a pilot figure, head, steering wheel, shifter and interior side panels from the DArt D Type body kit, plus DArt button radiator cap and DArt fuel cap. After painting the body silver I added a black wash using Tamiya flat black acrylic paint diluted with Tamiya acrylic thinner to bring out more detail where I wanted it. If using the acrylic thinner (which is alcohol based) only apply carefully where you want it and let it pool and dry to give the desired effect. Quickly wick away any wash that creeps where you don't want it since the longer it remains the harder it will be to clean away. Once it is dry it is impossible to remove easily - you'll need to polish it out then. I would do the interior first. I would use clear 5 minute epoxy to fix everything in place, starting with the firewalls. Then came the seat back (minus head rest) and dashboard. While that dried I removed the lower portion of the pilot's legs and sanded away the underside of his thighs to give me as much clearance underneath as possible. Luckily I did not need to shrink his torso. Once satisfied with the fit (and clearance) of the torso/legs I glued the pilot arms to the torso and placed the steering wheel in his hands and let dry. [I trimmed the steering wheel shaft since I never fix the steering wheel to the dashboard - I always leave it in the pilot's hands - which I find much easier to work with.] Then I glued the pilot's body to the seat and let that dry. Then the side panels were fixed in place and finally the shifter was added. The interior was done. I could add a styrene piece underneath his legs to finish the interior but I'll leave that alone for now. [Turns out the blackened chassis works nicely underneath so I decided to not bother adding a floor.] Exterior details were then added. The windscreen was second last - after hand drilling a pair of holes to fix it in place. Finally a solid aluminium wire was added to the rear of the body through another small hole hand drilled. The completed body now weighs 12.9g. Not bad!Add two screws and four urethane washers (2 for some body float and 2 underneath the head of each screw (to prevent the screws from backing out) and our completed model weighs in at 59 g.The original crown gear performed just fine when the chassis alone was tested (before the body was completed) but as fate would have it would fail on the first lap in its debut... but replaced and tested the model is very quick and this chassis shows lots of promise for 2022.Happy to answer any questions. If you would like to upgrade any parts on your C Type (like I did) drop me a line... Cheers! [foogallery id="20971"]

    • Recent ‘Brute Force’ & ‘DD0S’ Attacks’ on Scratch32 Gents, Some of you may have recently experienced frustrating delays and/or errors loading pages and forms. This was due to both unprecedented cyber brute force attacks and new DD0S attacks on our website by hackers in multiple countries. Brute force attacks repeatedly try to crack administrator passwords to gain unauthorized access and DDoS attacks bombard the site with coordinated  zombies/botnets to flood the server and slow it down or even crash it. Welcome to 2021! I've been monitoring these attacks and tightening our login requirements using several tools. So far I can confirm that no breach has occurred although our website has been very slow at times. With https our site already offers the most secure server side connectivity as is possible so for all users/members there is no need to do anything other than ensure you follow safe internet practices, such as: ensuring your connection to our site is always secure - via https only (you will see a little lock icon beside the address); use a unique password for your Scratch32 account to ensure that should any breach ever occur your password is useless for any other web related services; change your password regularly; and avoid using auto login on your computer. Remember that under 'My Profile' you can also add/remove/edit your own contact information at any time. Please ensure that you only provide as much information as you are comfortable with. To have a Scratch32 account you only need to provide a valid login ID and email address - the rest is superfluous. Scratch32 does not process payments, payment information of any kind nor any financial transaction at all. Links to products from any of our advertisers are handled and processed separately and independently through their own secure servers. No data whatsoever is shared. For example, our title sponsor DArt processes every financial transaction through square.com . For those of you who I may not see over the upcoming break - stay well this holiday season and I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Remember that if we all do our part we will continue to keep Scratch32 safer for all of us to use for years to come.

    • Scratch32 Administration Refinements Gents, I removed the black menu bar which used to sit at the top of the page which I believe many users found confusing and problematic to use. Some features did not work using the links from this bar, like changing your avatar for instance. Now if you want to change anything related to your own profile you will have just one option - to go to 'My Profile' in the top menu from any page - and everything there works. Create blog posts from your profile page as well. For new forum topics please make sure you are within the appropriate sub-forum first before starting a new topic, otherwise every new topic goes to the General Information forum. I'll do some housekeeping with this and hopefully everyone will be on board going forward. I also reset all forum user accounts to eliminate the problem that some accounts had with posting new forum topics and replies. I've tested this with a dummy account and it seems to have solved this problem for all accounts which have already posted a topic and a reply in the past, but hey, you never know. If you post a new topic or reply in our forum area and it doesn't appear online immediately after you submit it then it would need approval before being published - it isn't gone or lost - so be patient and it will be approved if need be...
