Fastest in the building.

Our race day day was a huge success. While our car was not perfect in a lot of ways, we easily won the adult grudge match we were in. After the race we did a head to head with the car that won the scout race and beat them by almost a full car length. This was our first try at balsa fenders and I know functionally they have a lot of room for improvement but everyone thought they looked cool and my son was happy so it was a win. Big thanks to everyone and especially Bull Dog for your fender video.

Thats a great looking car!! Uhh? Are you bending your rear axles?

 

[Jimmy & his 2 Kids]

Very nice ride! Great job!

 

[DuckOfAllTrades]

Awesome!

 

[Dizzy]

Thanks everyone, no didn't bend rear axles but did use scout axles so we cut the grooves in the head of those as well. I tried making small adjustments to see if I could notice changes on the tuning board but I'm still kinda new so didn't notice a whole lot of difference. They did help a lot with setting wheel gap though.

Drilled the rears at 3 degrees and verified alignment using gage pins and 1 2 3 blocks.

Really nice looking car for your 1st try with balsa fenders. It would be a really nice looking car for your 50th try with balsa fenders. There are a lot of pros who do not makes fenders as nice as yours...

Lol......yep

What were your times?

 

[Dizzy]

I wish I knew what the times were, our track is an older wooden track with an aluminum top. I think the finish line was called the Judge. It has a light beam but only tells you who was first, second or third. We never lost a heat though

Congrats that's a good looking car. Looks like a Boxstock car to me, you should send it in and see what she does.

No problem Ace, ya they look a lot alike. I like how you narrowed up your cross section in front. That was one thing bothering me about ours but by the time I really noticed the other cars looking like that we were too far along and running out of time. Had to have time for the dreaded paint lol. Nice work!
