ERA "R.1.B"
« on: 26 Dec 22, 03:19 pm »
[ Guests cannot view attachments ] This is my first cyclekart build, started August 2022. Any questions please ask.

Also i found this site www.slotracer.online/artomotive/index.html which has scale drawings for custom slotcars which i downloaded and stuck to some graph paper, giving me 1 square to 1 inch and an almost perfect scaling of the car.

Looking good Chris and progressing quickly. That's a good looking inspiration car and will make a nice cyclekart.
If you can drive round corners, you're not going fast enough.
