Corvid and Derby Dog lineup- 2014 Nats

[Guest]

The shop has pretty much become my second home lately but what better way to spend my time. Had to place a last minute order last night for spacers to go on the SP but other than that these puppies are getting real close to being finished. The black sharpied car w/ yellow wheels is a new Basx, the pink fendered car also got sharpied and will run SS- though I think it's way too light in front(.310 oz). I was especially pleased with the new SP and how a sharpie and 20 year old decal could drastically dress it up. Joes Crystal and BR115 will both run SS pro under the team "Derby Dog", and of course the good ol Delorean in the SR class.

The car with the checkered Ekono-Kote is actually last months SS Space Monkey reworked. I pulled out the white foam and glued in balsa so it was flush- hoping to reduce micro vibrations. The DFW hole I drilled at a compound angle didn't seem to help it any. What I did was drill the hole with 3 degrees of toe pointing to the rear. My thinking was that if my cant was at around 9 degrees, having the reversed toe would reduce the sensitivity of the steer when it came time for tuning. I don't think I will continue down this path. Thankfully, the floater axle hole was drilled straight so I am now using that side for my DFW. The botched axle hole now boasts a 45 degree fender with a teflon fin to keep er on track.

Not pictured but still part of the Nationals fleet are a couple Basx cars, a SP and an Eliminator.

Nice array of cars! Good luck at Nationals!

The checkered one will not be fast at all. It needs back wheels.

I think the DeLorean already won, we just haven't seen it yet.

Now that's funny GX! At first it went over my head but then it clicked.

I was sending it in just for fun but I see the rules have become relaxed regarding AMT/Revell only, which by the way I think is a great idea. This car, which I'll call Re-entry, is an Aoshima 1/24. I'd be ecstatic with a top 10 finish or to at least be faster than my last months SR. Almost done with prepping these puppies- getting down to the wire on time though.
