Artin 1/32

Tuscaloosa, Ala. slotters?

feeds@yuku.com (Vintage1952) — Fri, 09 May 2008 11:51:30 GMT

Hey guys I just had a gentleman by the name of Paul call from Tuscaloosa, Ala. wanting to check out the hobby for himself and some of his friends. He was asking about track systems and wanted to know if there was a video on the Artin system.. I don't know of one so I told him his best bet is to try to locate the closest location of someone in the hobby and go check them out first hand. He is going to check out this post for any feedback and info. So if you know of anyone in the vicinity...

Want to build the Dixon Hills Speedway but...

feeds@yuku.com (devo523) — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:21:13 GMT

Hi, I want to build the dixon hills speedway by buying two 4 lane artin sets. I'm all set to go but I'm very nervous about playing with upgrading power etc. Can I get away with using both power strips on the track or just buy the two packs and setting it up? Please some one tell me. Thank you.

PS. This is my first track, let me know if I'm picking a good or bad set to start.

Anyone have the dimensions and wheelbase of the Artin chassis? I don't have one in front of me and someone just asked for this info.
Thanks
Mark

What is a good replacment tire for the Artin cars for Artin track ??

feeds@yuku.com (Bowseye) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 00:47:50 GMT

I took out the Artin cars to let the kids beat them up in stead of my good stuff but they have been sitting awhile and the tires are kinda shiny and hard. I want the kids to have fun and keep their interest and these won't even get traction in the starights. I figure I need about 30 tires . Thanks in advance.

Artin Lolas

feeds@yuku.com (CharleyF) — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 15:42:07 GMT

Seeing the beautiful HRW and Coca-Cola Lolas begs the question:

Where did you get the Artin Lolas? If they are mods, where did the bodies come from?

Thanks.

Artin track ?

feeds@yuku.com (steelbrian) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 19:04:33 GMT

durability and interchange questions (update/pic added)

feeds@yuku.com (sbctimh) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 13:43:37 GMT

After a few thousand hard laps on my ~45 foot oval my Digi-Pro cars are noticeably slower then they started life. I have never even seen a 1/32 car that didn't come in a Digi-Pro box, so I have no idea if this is normal, or caused by to much magnet downforce. I did shave the tread off the rear tires.

Is to much downforce killing my motors?
How long do Artin motors usually run before dropping power?
Will the ceramic magnets from other Artin cars fit the same spot as...

Plastic tube front axle

feeds@yuku.com (show33) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 12:38:37 GMT

Does anyone have any pics or links to articles where people adjusted the wheelbase of an Artin chassis by eliminating the front axle holes and used a piece of plastic tubing hot glued in place instead. I'm sure I've seen pics on here before but can't find them.
Thanks in advance

cleaning rails and braids on digi-pro

feeds@yuku.com (richiebman) — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:36:56 GMT

Hello,
I can't seem to find it now but a while back I read a post on how important it was for digi-pro rails to be real clean. People said to clean it with lighter fluid. I'm guessing just a little on a rag and wipe down the rails. I also read that is very important to have clean braids. How do I most effectively clean the braids? I thought the guy mentioned lighter fluid again, but how do I do it? Please help. I also found that if i make a small light inhibiting bridge...

light dimmer switch

feeds@yuku.com (daddybulldog) — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 04:08:39 GMT

Without going hi tech on this old dude, can I use a rotary light switch in between the wall wart and the outlet to turn down the juice so my grandayghter, who is five, can race without going all out on the trigger and wiping out? She thinks it really funny, it is for me and her brother, who will be eight in June. After a few times though it gets tiresome. Nathan, my grandson colud handle the cars like a pro since he was five. He has always had uncanny talent for his age with the slots. I...

You know, since ol dubbya and the other hooligans thought it might boost the economy by sending us folks some spending cash, me and the sweetie are gonna catch up on a few bills and then split the rest, sooooo I'm gonna get me some goodies if you slotheads get my drift(wink,wink). Steve, you'll be hearing from me in about a month! Plus I've always wanted one of those Monagram Road Runners stockers, and a Torino stocker. So, hurry up, Dubbya! Thanks, Doug

Artin Digipro board...

feeds@yuku.com (slider2) — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 11:33:07 GMT

I have an Artin digipro board that I just removed from a brand new car, as I have a wood track. Anyway the board is free if anyone wants it. I'll even pay postage in continental USA.

A little better lap time from your Stocker chassis

feeds@yuku.com (Black3sr) — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 04:36:33 GMT

This past Monday of of the guys showed up with a really quick stocker. Earlier I was getting some practice in and was turning the odd 6.8 lap. Usually 7.1 to 6.9s are good for racing. I was wondering how we could break 6.7. Well his first few laps was doing 6.5's. I said let me try. I turned 6.4s.

The secret? He switched to Ortmans. They are the ones for GT40s and Scaley NASCARs. So I have ordered some. I got mine for 2.50 pounds but since have gone up to 3 pounds. That works...

What if Home Racing World/Slot Car Garage sponsored a Lola with with local vendors as associate sponsors and of course our own Harry Wise as the driver! Maybe the car would look like this, complete with a slot car track and cars going around the top.

Artin F1ized March & Jag

feeds@yuku.com (Nor Cal Mike) — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 22:14:49 GMT

I use the Artin F1 chassis as a motor pod in other cars and scratch builds. Here is a pair of cars that I have done. They are a Monogram March 83G and an older Scaley Jaguar X19. I made the switch in each car for completely different reasons. The March was a very beautiful but woeful handling shelf queen. My main purpose for modifying the Jag was to tub it so that I could fit a pair of my new K&D Fatboy alternative tires. These tires are very wide and could not be fit under the fenders...
