Well, it finally has happened. I decided to join the great mod class over here at the PDDR. This will be a huge learning curve for me but I am looking forward to learning new things each and every month from all the great mod racers here. So here is my mod entry for the Oct. PDDR race.....Phintastic!

The car started out as a premium sugar pine block from MB4Hire. This is 1 of my 1st "plank" style body's. The bottom of the block was hollowed out and I filled it with balsa and then spot puttied it to look like 1 piece again. The color choice was chosen because of my love for the best NFL team the Miami Dolphins. ;D The wheels are made from some 1/4" orange acrylic and turned down to 1.200" with Teflon hubs. The front and rear axle is a 3/32" drill rod that I turned down to .085". I weighted it with 1/4" tungsten cubes also from ___. Thanks again John for the great service! Well, in 2 weeks we will see how it goes. I really don't know what to expect from this car but I do know it's time I start getting involved with other classes. Planning a trip up to my buddy Zeebs next Friday to see if I can get anything out of it.

Thanks for looking all.

Ian

pony: Don't over heat the axle. I did that once too and I had to resand the axle. Two seconds of the flame is all I did. I hold the axle in the drill chuck, heat it then immediately spin it against the silly putty. I then wipe the axle down by hand. Feb 23, 2018 22:02:58 GMT -7

pony: I do the same technique with the hard ski waxes which I use a lot. You can heat the axle or if you don't want to use the heat just hold the hard ski wax against the spinning axle. Use high speed. The ski wax transfers by friction and the heat of the spin. Feb 23, 2018 22:06:02 GMT -7

pony: Remember though you still need some form of silicone on the axle after the ski wax. Plastics on steel always needs silicone. I don't have the technical know how to do a video and post it. It's the same process as polishing compounds and polishing wheels. Feb 23, 2018 22:09:47 GMT -7
