I don't even know when is the last time I actually weighed one of my car bodies, I'm more concerned about the FDW weight. I would have to think a safe weight for a scout ladder body would probably be around 14-15g.

I like to glue in my back weight, and then sand the bottom of my car body after 24hrs after it's dried to make sure it's flat. Then I drill the axles holes.

Sally Hansen Teflon Tuff Quick Dry Top Coat is the best I have found.

I have a Jewkes ESS start gate for sale, it's like new. PM me if you're interested. $115.00 OBO plus shipping.

Looks really nice, great job.

Looking really nice, great job CV.

Maybe you should ask Crane if orange wheels are slow.

Bulldog's video is great, and a good place to start. I don't cut my fenders like he does, but everybody has their own way of doing it and I'm sure you'll get it figured out and have your own way too. I only use balsa, so I can't comment on the new 3D printed ones. I have used those old Gee...

It kinda seems like you answered your own questions about your conclusion with fenders. Fenders are faster, but when they are done right. I have seen a lot of fender cars out there, where the car would probably be faster without them. My best advise to you on fenders is this.. Go to our racing...

To add to this, take what your wanting to search for, like let's say.. "The Silver Bullet" add it in the search and hit enter.. bam you will find every quote on here with the name Silver Bullet on it. Good luck!

It's amazing what you can find through the search on this site. A lot of info on here to be had if your welling to do a little digging and reading.

Right, I agree.. watch out for racer like Derby Nerdz he's a crazy guy!

Congrats! Awesome looking cars, I like that red one!

No kidding brother! I'm always a little nervous when I send my cars in! I'm always saying to myself... I should have worked longer on this car, or I should have done this, or that! But, the satisfaction of all your hard work and the excitement is well worth it! :cool:

Congratulation! Awesome pictures!
