Like the great Ricky Bobby once said, "If you're not first, you're last!" My aim is to get you to the top of the podium!
Whether you want a brand new car built, or just need a tune-up, I'm here to help, and have the background to get it done! You'll get what you pay for, and that's winning equipment, tuned by a champion! With the skills passed on from my father, Tony Porcelli, I hope to keep the winning tradition of the Porcelli Name Alive.

Dire Wolf Pick-Up Shoe Hangar Installation
Hi Roger, love your videos. Quick question, what is the GRIT of the diamond lapping paper you used? The link you provided shows multiple grits. Lastly you mentioned the eye glass wipes but you didn't use them in your demonstrations, what are you using them for to clean the controller? Thanks!
THANK YOU REALLY APPRECIATE VIDEO
Amazing video, he beat me with tau! Great job!
Great video. I have a set of lightweight’s without any copper disks. They seem to fit good with the empty holes up towards the chassis. Will this cause any assembly/operation problems?
Looks like the front bulkhead design was borrowed from 1/24 scale racing:) Larger bush to com contact point and consistent spring tension. We use to use Gold Dust brushes and Champion Light springs in our 16 and S16 D motors. I also did underwater break in on those type motors to finish things off. Thank you! I will be getting a couple of your cars later on when I get my track up and running. PS: we had a hood alignment tool (bar) that side through both bush hoods to help Tweak them a little and line them up better:)
Thanks Roger. Some issues with framing, but still great info.
ya, sorry, it's kinda difficult to work on something so small and keep your eye on the computer the whole time to make sure everything is in shot. I'll do my best to make sure I do better in the future. Thanks for the feedback Jim!
Thanks Racer Roger, Another Great Lesson On how to build a Fast Race Car
Where do I buy a springforce meter???
From Chris Hale of WhiteDog Racing on Facebook
🤣😅 Now thats funny! Yea Ive sent a car across the shop more than once. Did Defalco go out of business? Looks like their websites are dead and everything's out of stock. Also where did you get those wraps those are awesome I need some in zebra print. 🦓🏁 And why are there 3 knobs now?
Awesome video thank you for all the good tips awesome Channel
great video, very much appreciated
I like this video
Thanks, I appreciate that!! I will try to make these videos more often. Be on a lookout on my Facebook page for polls on next videos!
What side of rims do you prefer. 250 or .275 ?
If we are speaking slip-on tires/rims, I use .250 Rims to start, and adjust rim size if rims up or down to tune the car
@@RPMs Ok thanks for your answer
Great video!
Thanks!
I am surprised we are still using analog controllers. The circuits involved to make this digital are the size of a USB thumb drive. I wish the market was big enough to support that leap and technology. Think about it, everything else in our lives with analog with pots and resistors is gone, replaced by circuits.
I go back with Jim over 40 years. I remember when he started the company, building on a card table. He sure has come a long way!
That's awesome! Jim's a great guy, and has a great product! I'm sure he works on more than a card table now 😃
@RPMs - Roger Porcelli MotorSports lol...im sure.
Been about of racing for 15 years. GAVE AWAY ALL my stuff what controller do you recommend for a 70 year old man with good reflexes
I am 72, I use a 3rd eye as it is adaptable for all types of racing, 32nd & 24th
I'll tell you the same thing I tell everyone when it comes to choosing a controller...there is no one right answer. It's a very personal choice. It has to feel good in your hand, and you have to get the feel on track that you want. Only way to know is to try a few
Top video! Thanks
Glad you liked it!
wish i was there
Great video Porkchop, makes me want to race slot cars again. Keep up the great videos.
Hey Roger! Great video! I remember the day you were given the name Pork Chop! VHS c/o 92! Go knights! Looking great my friend!
Will never forget it. Thanks Steve, LOL!!!!!
Was it necessary to reduce the diameter of the armature shaft to fit the ball bearings?
I did not have to do that, no.
So what was the reason for bending the endbell ears out, I don't think you followed up on that topic?
You are correct, I did forget to follow up. My apologies. It's for a couple of reasons, actually. First, to ensure solid contact between the hangars and ears. Second, to push and keep the hangars as far forward as possible to ensure that the pick-up shoes remain at the proper angle of attack. If the contact is not solid, the hangar will sag back, and the angle of the shoe will change, and your power and handling will suffer. Some people try to prevent this with sponge behind the hangar. That can sometimes cause other problems. Such as, if there is sponge holding the hangar forward, but your ear isn't bent properly, no contact will be made between the ear and hangar and your car just won't work.
Literally just trying to figure out too much play on the rear axle on one of my LL cars when your video came up on FB. Thanks
Glad I could help!
@@RPMs what side of rims do you prefer use .250 or .275
Very helpful! Thanks for posting
What grit is the diamond lapping film?
This is the one I use the most amzn.to/3S7ruBX
Awe man ! I’m jealous ! I always go to Lenjet (live close ) and have yet to have a go on the Boomerang !
I just ordered a Difalco DD531 this week. I’m planning on attending the 2022 HOPRA nats
Awesome! You'll have a great time!
@@RPMs that’s the plan at least. I’m trying to convince the guys i race with to start a viper v spec class… but they don’t really like the super fast cars.
What voltage what cars
Go faster!
I think it would be good idea to mark the shoe with any darker colored marker before and after the adjustment to show it much more clearly for the video
So much involved with these little machines, fun stuff. My club just got a box of Professor controllers in. There are two clubs next to each other HO & 1/32 the other is a 1/24 wood track. I guess I have to find out which controller works best for both. I mostly use HO and 1/32
Very informative my friend...
Thanks for this, and all the other videos. They've been a great help. Keep 'em coming
Tip #1 Don't fall off! :) great video!
LMFAO, for sure!!!!
Sounding like Dad in this video
Thanks dude! I miss him...
@@RPMs I know the feeling, I miss mine too.
Roger, Thanks for the video and thanks for the background change. It really allows the small details to stand out. Happy New Year.
No worries, and glad it helped!! All feedback is welcome. More videos planned. Hope to have a bit of fun with the next one 🙃
Thanks Roger !
Thanks
Excellent video Thanks
Watched it, tried it, works GREAT!!! Thanks for your videos!!!!!
Awesome! What part helped the most?
@@RPMs shoe bending, a huge difference on my AFX hometrack. Tried it on one of my "slowest" cars. Bigbig difference!!!! Love it!!!!
Great job as usual. I keep picking up tips from your videos.keep them coming!
Lost me at the 9 second mark 🤣🤣🤣
LMFAO!
@@RPMs thanks for doing these. I don’t know that I will ever go back to organized racing after this year, but I will always race. You are a great champion of the hobby ✌️
@@Motleybru70 first, thanks for the kind words! Second, hang in there. I know it's difficult right now, but we'll get through it. I hope to see you at another race down the road!
Roger, another great video sir. Who sells the Racers tape? Thanks
Thanks Glenn! There is an Amazon link in the video description (click "Show More"). Let me know if you have any other questions.
@@RPMs thanks Roger!
@@azslotracer you bet! If you're on a mobile device, click the triangle on the right edge of the screen next to the title to expose the description.
@@RPMs found it! Thanks.
To expand upon a comment I made about protecting tires being one of the main reasons why I cut the rear of the body the way that I do, it is also the ONE AND ONLY reason why I practice without a body now. I have ruined so many good tires in practice because of a body cutting them in a wreck, that I just don't want to chance it anymore. Especially since I practice so hard finding the limits...
Also, OMG SHOES!
Very well done! Have you tried using a macro lens for your camera? it might help with the close up shots.
Thanks for the tip! Yes, I've thought of it, but can't afford to buy all of the equipment I want/need to do this at one time. There are quite a few items I know could make this better, and I will do my best to get them to make the quality of the videos better.
Nice work! How about electrical tips for endbell and barrel cars.
I'll put it on the list.
Thanks for doing this
No problem
