Must be some sort of conspiracy. The battery on my digital calipers died today!

I have a mule you can borrow. Shall we call it donkey express or jack a** express? Somewhat of a takeoff on the pony express.

I been working on this 53' Studebaker, seems like forever , to get it ready to mold and cast. I think it'd be easier to learn the bass part to a Rush song than work on these lil' guys , sometimes. Put some primer on today and I'm getting closer, ways to go yet but feel like I'm making progress.
Gale, you really pick some good bodies to cast. Where do we get in line for one on those Studes?

Don't forget your 40% off coupon. Always available at their web site.
You can also order on line. The computer will show a selection of models available. They used to have an 800 number to call to make your selection but I believe you do it direct online now. Shipping might consume the savings form the coupon but still cheaper than most sources.

Bill are you using Flickr? Not flicker. On the create post page, I had been clicking on the add attachment tab in the top right. From there I would select photos from my files, then post to the page. Now when I try, it says the forums attachment limit has been met.

Bill are you changing the pictures in any way before you post them? I've noticed if you shrink the picture to just have what you want to show it does that to me. If I post the original it goes through no problem I haven’t used any photo hosting sites since photobucket put the screws to everyone. Most of the pics I tried were not cropped but I did try cropping one. Normally photo need to be reduced to large, since actual size is usually too big. Today I even tried med and small. Tried to post another photo. The message I’m getting says that the forum has reached its attachment limit. Is there anything the mods or Sam can do about that?

A pure stock Super G+ will be my choice for an inline stock class. If memory serves correctly, you've got a ringer Super G+

6 OHM arms are standard in most manufactured inline 1/64 slot cars. exception ..... Mattel branded TYCO chassis were 3 - 3.5 OHM arms. I think the Stock class and the SS class are limited to minimum 6 OHM armatures? Didn't know the Mattels were low resistance. Thanks for pointing that out. Been planning on giving Tyco another try. Will have to watch out for those arms.

The new stock rules should be a very interesting class with so many standard chassis types available . I can’t wait for the first race as it should be great fun . Do you think there may be some Micro Scalextrics?

I like they rule changes. Now stock is a box stock class, wich is great for new entry people wanting to try out. In stock inline you/we forgot to put two traction magnets. Im sure we all know its 2 but someone will question it down the road. Pleased with the new rules too. Under the old rules you pretty much had to have a BSRT, Viper or Wizzard Fusion to be competitive. This will open it up to a much greater variety of chassis. For me, the Super G+ derivatives are a pain to work on. It’ll be refreshing to tinker with other platforms. Don’t see the Super G+ specifically excluded. Will it still be legal with timing in neutral?

What car or cars besides the AW super 111 that are currently being produced or legal for stock? Would the Super III be legal? It’s got some monster magnets.
