Hello everyone,
Taking a break from the Virtual Pinball Machine project which I should be done with in 1-2 weeks. Thanks for your patience. I will be back on the track more regularly once the other projects are wrapped up.
I ordered a few BRM slot cars and I am really impressed with the quality of these. They are a little pricy at ~$140 each but the quality is amazing and very well engineered.
The cool thing about some of the BRM 1/24 cars (the "Mini" series) is that they will run a 1/32 track (not an issue with Carrera since the track is 1/24).
The Mini Coopers I picked up have all aluminum chassis, wheels, front axle supports, and adjustable motor mount but that's not all...this car comes with solid brass rear axle mounts and u-joint that provides a nice camber for the rear high performance tires which allows the high performance motor to get that power to the rear wheels and help you through the turns a little faster.
I'll be putting in one of the FrankenSlot D328 decoder chips in this and then post another video of the test drive.
Be safe and have fun!
Cheers,
Jeff (Garage Maker Guy)
