First attempt at a stocker. Hope it runs OK! Not exactly my forte, but I have to race away from the hometrack and learn how to run big axle cars! LOL

I know you have had hometrack advantage to damn long, time to change things up a bit. I hope to see it at WIPR.

I think I must need to put labels on the top of my cars to identify that they are mine. If you want I will make some for you too or you can just get out some tape and a marker like I am thinking.

Nice car! I think it will move like most everything you do does! Keep it slow for a month or two, I might need it. LOL!

I only need 3 pieces of tape Steve.............also, no bigger than 1"x 1/2". I have done extensive testing and this size seems to be the fastest!

PS......the tape must be applied the long way on the car. (this is KEY to speed!)
PSS ............ red or black Sharpie for the labels. Tried the blue and it slowed the car down
PSSS......it must be the gloss tape, not the matte stuff. Gloss is good for another .002/.003.

I guess I'm done now!

what brand tape?

does it take any prep?

BSB the car is cool I really like the clear wheels just looking at the pic though what is the axel size they almost look like needles are they just tapered down after the bore?

They are legal. What ever the rules state for axle size, that is what they are. I make all my cars interchangeable as far as wheel retainers....makes life a lot easier. I've been a machinist for the last 43 years and trust me.................I do know how to measure! LOL

OK MOOD! Here is the scoop...........if you have a slow car you can go to the dollar store and buy their tape. If you have a screamer, it just won't do! Once that car gets up to speed the tape starts to peel up! If that happens, well we all know that you lose precious time! I hope this helps you out in your quest for speed.


PS..............there is no prep............other than make sure the car is free of oil when you put the tape down! ;D ;D

BSB,

Nice car shape with the rear fenders extended. The wheels in the Green color compliment car.
