MANDY'S CAR

[OLD BLUE RACER]

Well this is a photo of my daughter's

Car
When drilling out the hole for the weight I went the bottom and exposed the axle area.
What can I use to support that area
I drilled with the bullet will this effect the axles when area is fixed
I must use axle slots

 

[Rocket car]

Hot glue to surround weight or aluminum tape over the bottom

This looks like a top view I would use a piece of veneer over the top then paint.

Steve, I am at the pre-weigh in right now.Be here til 8:00 pm. Remember the axles must be visible through the slots. PM me for help. Rick

Bones I think I will just cut another body and use this for me
and do the axles the way we talked about last night
But i will do the axle wetting just to see what happens
Like I was telling you last night it only took me less than an hour to cut and sand flat
what was that primer called I have been using Krylon for all spray painting
Oh I might try the axle grove since I have a drill Press now
do you grove for the Tess cars
I just now noticed that I miss drilled the right side

 

[OLD BLUE RACER]

I DID use the axle wetting area to help tighten upthe drilled hole ,how many times can you use that method on the same car.

 

[Bones]

I would only wet the hole once. If that didn't tighten it up that is it. You want a hi build primer that is made by duplicator.

 

[Bones]

Oh yeah. I do not groove the axles. They are just polished, if you need to run some test on my track pm me.

 

[OLD BLUE RACER]

Bones I did cut another car just got done drilling it/ making room now to test how it rolls in the garage on my wood track just have to clean it off.

 

[Bones]

Cool. You gonna be at the track setup Friday?

 

[OLD BLUE RACER]

If I get the axles and wheels done tonight and the car cut in the next hour took 1 1/2 to clean walking area so I can clean my track off to test on, need to eat something 1st keep you posted

 

[OLD BLUE RACER]

Bones I will cut car tomorrow I am doing the axles now wheels Tomorrow
I figure cut and shape right as soon as I sand flat clean up all at once

 

[Bones]

Good Luck! Hope to see you Friday.

 

[OLD BLUE RACER]
