No, I am not talking about dating in college... Along the way it seems that it has been indicated that t-jet type bodies (and presumably everything else) handle better if they are a little loose. Maybe they are called "floating". Now, if it works, it's good, empirically, but I like to guess as to the "why" from time to time. Maybe I can see the fore and aft thing. Accelerate and more weight is pitched rearward onto the rear tires. Stop and it shifts a little to the front tires--perhaps... Are Loose Bodies a Good Thing?

Somehow I missed this one when it came out but saw it recently on a post on this site. Since Rob Walker’s column in Road &Track was my window into F1 as a kid, I had to have it.

I got this in my inbox the other day: Hi vfr750, I'm Michelle, from the operations team over at slotforum.com. I just wanted to reach out. I noticed you haven't posted in a while, and you used to be one of our more active members. No agenda here, I'm mostly just curious: was it something specific that made you drift away, or just life getting busy? And if there's anything we could be doing better or feedback you have for the forum, I'm all ears. No pressure to reply either way. The... Has anyone else had an email from Slotforum?

I had planned to buy a digital layout this year. Had my eye on The Arc Pro platinium set: The idea of switching digital on or off Running multiple cars Getting chipped cars in the set It had a smaller food print than carrera However it isnt available anymore, talk of a new approach for Scalextric digital and no real choices has got me rethinking. Anyone with thoughts on the current state?

As you may have noticed I do like modelling cars I have seen race in the 70’s and 80’s One of my favourites was the Lotus 88 twin chassis that I saw at Silverstone in first practice in 1981 This build starter a long time ago as I wanted to recreate the moving outer chassis as part of the car First step was to create a test car to see if the concept of a moving outer body would work This was done with a very basic in line contrate drive chassis with the outer cockpit surround vac formed with...
