My "Scratch-Built" class Triumph TR4A ready for second test
Posted: Sat Aug 18, 2018 4:43 pm
Did a first test of my Triumph TR4A that I recently converted to some proposed Scratch Built class regs about ten days ago, but it encountered some transmission issues after just a few laps. I just finished repairing the problem with an upgraded part and did some more fine-tuning, so it's now ready for its second test. The body is from an Airfix model kit, the chassis from a front-motor MRRC Cobra. Both have been modified to allow the two to work together. It has an H&R Jack Rabbit 14,000 RPM motor as required by the rules and miscellaneous other slot car components. As per the regs, there is no magnet installed.
Here's a view of the underside:
That's some lead ballast peeping through the magnet location openings. Just need to get some wheel inserts for the rear wheels (again, as required the proposed regs). I've located a pair of plain wheel ones of the correct size which basically match the front wheels.
Are you interested in racing in a scratch built class? I'll post the proposed regs soon.
