I have changed the crown gear on the Lotus 49 back to a 27T and on my home track it now appears to be running ok, will see what happens at the club tomorrow

The Ninco BRG Jaguar XK120 has now been fitted with an Amato 3D printed chassis and a Scaleauto 25K S-can Tech 2 motor. As the XK120 is front engine and has a deep interior this has now been removed and will be replaced with a flat vac-formed drivers tray.

I've change the motor in the Lotus 49, the Penelope Pitlane chassis was fitted with a SPR 30k motor and 9/27 gears but I have now replaced the motor with a SRP 35k but to give a bit more brake I have changed the gears to 9/28. On testing at the club track this evening the car appeared to be running ok but then kept stopping, it would then run for a few inches and stop again. It was suggested that the crown gear may be to large for the the PP chassis so some more work will be required.

The Scalextric Lotus 49 received yesterday has now been fitted with a Penelope Pitlane chassis so I can use it in my clubs F1 race class.
