Fairways Racing Complex Forum

Hi everyone, I'm presently ketchin my arse to complete two builds in time for the next event. One of the build is a front mounted motor which requires a motor coupling (spring type) the other build is an F1 which requires a pinion to fit a TECH1 scaleauto motor; the scalextric pinions' ID is too large. I'm willing to purchase the two parts. Also if anyone has a spare hex-key to fit a slot it wheel-hub and crown gear's grub-screws, I'm willing to purchase as well.
Best regards, happy racing.

Hi Richard,

First of all, the next event is next week Thursday (for MP, RGT and RLMP).

If you're looking for the spring coupling, you don't need it. All you need is an empty ball point pen refill. Simply cut of a length of the refill tube approximately the same length as the original spring and use it in place of the spring. That's how I've done it for my RGT Viper and it works very well.

I can offer you a couple of options here. I probably have a few pinions which fit the 1.5mm shaft which you can use, however the second option is to use a small piece of this on the end of the motor shaft:

I should have a piece I can give you.

I should also have one of these I can give you.

Give me a shout to arrange collecting them.
