    • Revoslot Trans Am Jr. (RTA) Revoslot Trans Am Jr. (RTA) v1.0 Courtesy JMSracer: Rules for Revoslot TransAm Jr series; which includes the Alfa Romeo GTA's; Ford Escort MK1; BMW 2002's; and the Opel Kadet GT/E ONLY! This is a stock class and all that can be done is blueprinting, changing the guide with the deep wood guide that comes with the cars as a spare guide and installing Dart of KK urethane tires. Click on the link below to see a video on how to blueprint the Revoslot cars. Many have used the Dart rubber washers to install between the chassis instead of the Gorilla tape as recommended in the video, your choice.  Be careful not to true your front tires too much, they may not touch the track.  Some have bent the front part of their chassis to make the front touch the track in cases where the front was not touching.

    • Chassis mapping The more cars you make. The easier it gets to map out a body. Don't worry too much about sticking to the car list. I can map out a body fairly quickly. Show me some bodies that aren't normally slot cars. Those tend to be more interesting. Porsche911's 1961 Ford Ranchero is pretty cool. Not many of those around. Ken

    • How to Reset Your Mini-Z Steering Servo I was having a steering issue where the trim had to be set all the way to one end to centre the steering but found the following fix on line: With the transmitter turned off, center the wheels by hand as straight as you can. Then turn on the chassis, press and hold the bind button on the car until the light blinks quickly. Then you can turn your chassis back off. Once all that's done, turn your transmitter on, set steering trim to 0 (center) and turn your chassis back on. Repeat if necessary!

    • 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.

    • 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 /]

    • 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="http://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.

    • Forums Gents, Local engagement in the forum spaces is very low. I might try to incorporate some areas into posts or pages as I refocus but if there is anything of particular value to you in a forum please save it for yourself. 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.

    • 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!

    • Local Avatars Gents, Issues with the last Avatar plug in couldn't be resolved and therefore I had to install another Avatar plugin which looks to be working properly for most local Avatars and Gravatars. Unfortunately a few of you may need to upload your avatar again due to the pixel requirements - you'll notice that your avatar only shows a broken image link together with your name (which might be repeated infront of your displayed topic name). Uploading your existing or any new image should correct that problem - if not pls email me. You may also try using a Gravatar to serve your personal avatar(s). You can create your own Gravatar account using your email addy here. Or stick with your uploaded avatar - your choice. Cheers!

    • Online Calendar Returns for September Gents, Soon look for the return of an online calendar especially in time for the resumption of most events/series this September after our summer break. The look and feel/format may be different but there will be one. It may only be accessible to those with an account or logged in - not sure yet - we'll see. Cheers!
