Hobbit Racing
США
Добавлен 26 окт 2012
We are devoted to Slot Car Racing in the Home Racing World. Hobbit Racing Park is an MDF-routed, 4 lane, 1/32 scale slot car track. Originally designed and crafted by Scott Kulp at War Eagle River, the track has been relocated and Hobbit Racing Park came to life in 2022. We feature 4 independently powered lanes, Professor Motor controllers, each fitted with a track call button, with racing controlled via Trackmate timing system. We race non-magnet cars, across numerous classes ranging from well known modern era (LMP, GT, DTM, DPi) to classics (Group C, Group 5, CanAm, TransAm) to manufacturer-driven/class specific cars that are known to be competitive with each other (NSR GT, RevoSlot GT, NSR Classics). Popular brands raced are NSR, Slot.it, RevoSlot, ThunderSlot, FLY, Racer Sideways, Scalextric.
FLY Porsche 917/10 Jagermeister - Tuning Part 1: deconstruction phase
The FLY Porsche 917/10 - This is where the world of modeling meets 1/32 scale slot cars. The FLY slot cars that are out there are such amazingly detailed models. Some require less tuning work than others, and to be fair, there is also nothing wrong with running them 'box stock'. For those of us seeking the best performance, there is more than one way to go about it for the 917/10, but this is a nice way to keep the integrity of the looks and also enhance performance. So let's start the 'deconstructions phase' so we can break it down and build it back up to a great runner! Thanks for watching.

Professor Motor Controllers - are they the perfect home racing solution?!
Просмотров 32614 дней назад
In this video, I give you my experiences and preferences in regards to the Professor Motor PMTR211. There are SO many different solutions out there for us to control our slot cars, and deservedly so. In my opinion, in the home racing world, when it comes to keeping things simple, yet providing reasonable advanced controls, these are the answer. Tell me what you think. Here's a link as well.

In part 2, as we make our way into the guide exchange, the motor and gear exchange and remounting, we encounter some interesting challenges along the way, but nothing we cannot overcome. Remember everyone, mass production of mostly plastic cars. Take your time, see what you have, and you can always make it work. So, we're happy to review some additional steps along the way, whether it be some n...

Let's go on a Scalextric tuning journey. We'll create a blank canvas for ourselves by removing much that is stock that is mounted that chassis and under those fenders, and really make some key performance adjustments, while changing the motor to something still within Hobbit Racing Park class rules for Trans Am. Just a beautiful car! A wonderfully balanced quick car as well. I'm adding to the s...

Group 5 Slot Car Racing: Hobbit Racing Park - Summer Sessions

It's summer race reason. Hobbit Racing Park hosting Group 5. We had a spirited day, talking slot cars, racing slot cars, and occasionally, de-slotting slot cars...LOL. I finally was able to take the 1980 Le Mans beauty of a Beta Montecarlo out there. I was too caught up in being the production crew at times to get what I believe is that car's full potential and it still proved to be an awesome ...

The star of the show here, and we've done little, to be honest, and I'm tooling around with the 21.4K rpm King EVO motor for a bit before swapping to class compliant Baby King 17K rpm motor for Hobbit Racing Part NSR GT racing.

Well, this little ripper of a GT3 car was not such a ripper out of the box, but she's a looker, and we start to make some headway in part 1. A nice opportunity to make the rear spoiler attachments as well. After some tweaking, we've got the front end starting to come together. We'll bring it home in part 2 and see what this initial tune brings us, stay tuned... Thanks for watching. Here's a lin...

Join me for a late opening of a Birthday Present. It's an exciting one! Racer Sideways has a nice line up of GT cars that may often be overlooked due to the likes of Slot.it, NSR and others, but if you've got a class that these can fit, or just love the looks of these, even a fantasy livery, they'll turn some great laps with just a bit of work. Let's unbox the 'birthday surprise' and take a qui...

Let's tune a Sideways Group 5! One of my favorite Group 5 lines here in the Lancia. We'll do some relatively easy enhancements of a better guide and keep things smooth with axle spacers all around, before even messing with the pod and body float.

The beauty of Group 5 on full display. What a wonderful car! Excellent work from Racer Sideways on the livery, and many Slot.it components on the inside that we can all appreciate. I'm excited to get some tuning in on this car (and the sister blue #52 as well). Here we take a brief look at the exciting red livery from 1980, and get a look under the hood too.

Great job on deconstructing that car brother, very useful information. Happy racing 🏁
Great tuning video as usual. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and tuning process. Your attention to details is very helpful. I always look forward to your tuning videos.
Much appreciated! I'm glad to hear these are helpful
That’s great thanks for sharing. I was kind of looking for a controller just like you explained. Where would you get these? Thanks for sharing.
Glad to hear this was helpful. Link is in the description. Thanks
Epic track 👍
Thanks for watching. Now that the storm has passed we sure hope to get some more racing in there
Thanks for sharing your experience. Got some good tips out of it😊
Thank you. Glad you found it helpful. Good to hear from you as always!
Those are great controllers as first aftermarket ones!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Indeed my friend. I even have a travel one, in addition to the 4 on the track.
@@hobbitracing I still have my first Prof. Motor with a full throttle relais that I built in aftermarket!
Good to see you back at Hobbiton. Nice info on the controller. We’re not up for one just yet but it’ll probably be our goto now.👀👀👍👍
Thanks. Making our way...almost 2 trees bucked and stacked or some burned. A few more to go, but so thankful nothing landed on anything valuable and we're all safe! Glad you found the content helpful.
Nice Slotcar , Enzo from Berlin Germany 👍🏻😎
Thanks man! I definitely can say I'm in the market for more Sideways GT3 cars
What kind of track do you need to have? Can you use an AFX or auto world? I’m sorry I’m new to this.
No worries. Sounds like you're asking about HO scale track. This is 1/32 scale and I run on wood-routed, but for the beginner there is Carrera, Policar and Scalextric tracks that are quite reliable and can be bought in starter sets. They typically can be used in analog setting and digital setting (lane switching, forced pitstops, etc). Search for those slot car track sets if you're searching for a good starter set and wanting to get into the thrill of 1/32 scale. Wood is my favorite and with the right skill, they can be made well, however I'd recommend to start with a plastic set.
@@hobbitracing thank you brother. I love this. I remember my neighbor had one, but my father cannot afford to buy at the moment now. Is it an adult trying to buy a track
Awesome build, can you pin where to find those rim and tires?
Thanks, I really appreciate it. More Trans Am cars in the works. Please revisit the description, I've added more links.
That purple gear is binware!
Went away from that 29t after that first track session. Happy back at 28t, the gear that came with! Thanks for the feedback
Sweet car, incredible layout my friend, keep ‘em coming😎😎😎
Yes sir! Indeed. Thanks for the feedback.
Great tutorial, never give up when you're not happy with the result!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
Thanks as always!
We’re running Scalextric track with a plethora of Scalextric cars. Love your content very informative m8.👍Subed you from down under
Much appreciated!
I'm guessing "Gandalf" is wanting a replacement front tooth for Christmas. Nice looking car that would definitely benefit from a chassis replacement and new wheel/tyre combination.
That's awesome Mark! Good eyes. You've no idea...we finally had it lasered and connected to her braces. Gandalf the J probably wants another NSR tbh, but I'm showing the kids the fun in the other manufacturers in our wonderful hobby. Thanks for the feedback!
Great stuff! I was gonna build a chassis to go with a 1970 Camaro, this has got me thinking now. Oh the options, thank you! 🫡
Absolutely. The possibilities are there. I look at cars like these, and some FLY models, where you can really 'clean up' the out of the box stuff and then get great results from the tuning mods. Thanks
CG Slots just released a 3D printed chassis kit for this car… I think. Adds a motorpod.. thanks for sharing Tony!
That would be an interesting thing to play with. Thanks for the feedback Marty!
Thanks for sharing,Scalextric has a lot more American muscle cars than Carrera,Turned out nice ,drifts nice,sweet car.👍🏎️🏎️🏎️😊
Agreed. They are all sweet looking, tune up pretty nice. Thanks
What a beautiful car, epic muscle 🎉🎉🎉, nice work 😎😎😎
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it.
Tony, this track looks amazing! Thanks for the tour! Also, thanks for the shoutout.. coffee! Let’s go! 😂
Thanks Marty. It is. We are getting ready next to run the HRW Grp 2 RevoSlot proxy here in week. Footage coming! Coffee...well, I may switch back to it..this early bird drink is nuts.
@@hobbitracing I’m racing Saturday at a new tracks.. looking forward to shooting some footage.
Really cool buddy, just subbed you, your vid came and it’s a cool track 😎😎😎
Thanks for the feedback and the support!
Subbed
Thanks. Hope to have you come by
What are the dimensions of the track and footprint? Beautiful track!
I believe it's about 8x16, maybe 18ft max. Check about halfway thru and Ken describes length of each lane. Thanks!
Very cool! 😁👍
Thanks Carey!
Really nice wood routed track👍 one day I’d like to build one but for now it’s plastic track 🏁
Thanks for the feedback.. Pros and cons to it all, and nothing wrong with plastic, of course
Very nice
Thanks Lee
Thanks for the shout out! Looked like a good time. Beautiful track Ken! Miss you guys!
It was a good time. Gotta get you up there too sometime
Awesome
Thanks man!
Looks fantastic - good flow!
Yup. After about 10 minutes, we started to get the hang of it, found consistent breaking points. I have to edit the RevoSlot Grp 2 race footage...it's coming. Thanks.
Cool track! 😎
Thanks. We can't wait to have more racing there.
Kermit versus Castrol - nice!
That's a good one. I like that! Thanks
Hi is your 720 noisy ? mine goes fine on a Club track but is fairly noisy, expert club members have tried and given up finding solutions 😁 car handles really well and is a wee bit slower but i can live with that, cheers Mike
Hi Mike. Yes. I owe everyone the last part of the tuning video to conclude, but I agree. I've done many things across many tunes to calm the rattles and noises, but this car, while quick and great handling, runs as if something is rattling around. It may be the way the body rests when achieving float. It could be gear lash, however unlikely. It could be pod to chassis connections. Either way, what I can say is that this car is on par with my Slot.it and Scaleauto GT cars when it comes to performance and that is what matters most to me! Thanks for the feedback.
Great vid Hobbit! Love the track. Dig the upgrades to the vette! Looks like it runs nice.
Glad you like it!
Looking for Part 1 but can't see it Any help would be appreciated
Here you go! ruclips.net/video/v19qvyKTE5U/видео.html
Loved this upload, Hobbit Racing. I shattered that thumbs up marker on your segment. Stick to the wonderful work. Eager see your next video from you.
Much appreciated!
Thanks for your video, I get a lot out of them. I've been tuning and tweaking mine for a few day. It's pure enjoyment.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks! What is the length of your front straight-away (straight section only)?
Front straight is roughly 10ft
You uare going to like that car.. NSR has a good one here. Grub screws are for the chassis. NSR shipped mine with grubs both too and bottom already installed for front axle..
I'm looking forward to it Marty. Same here too...grub screws were in, both top and bottom, but extras never hurt 😁
@@hobbitracing if you look at the chassis and the body, those grub screws can go up through the chassis and control body float..
Ah, that's right. I had forgotten about that. Smaller spots in theory to rest against. Great point.
Beautiful car. NSR are great cars.
I couldn't agree more!
Given that NSR cars are first and foremost race cars, they won't be exact true scale replicas of the real cars, but certainly pass muster when viewed by a casual observer.
Indeed, a nice way to put it. It passes my test! 😁
Good video 😊
Much appreciated.
yeah I DESPISE the slotit LMP guide
Happy to hear, maybe we get some momentum if we make enough noise and they keep making these 'low nose' cars like this. And yet such a simple solution, that you'd think the entire goose-neck could be redesigned in an updated mold. Thanks for the feedback.
So. In our club we run the baby raptor and king with the MX16 23k they both run very well together test and tune one of each and you might be surprised
Nice info and agreed, not surprising at all. We have 2 classes (NSR GT & Group5) with the baby king. Then (GT High Performance, DPi, LMP, GrpC, Slot.it Classics) with MX-16 (or a Piranha). There's interchangeable nature. Slightly lower rpm, but the torque or the other way around. It's great to have them all fit in. Thanks for the feedback!
Such a beauty! Must be a batch of mouldings - mine had the same issue with the plastic screw holding it in the box being super-tight. Looking forward to seeing the tuning process!
Nice hearing I wasn't alone in the troubles getting it out of the jewel box. Other than that, fun stuff on the way in the tuning!
Good video 😊
Thanks for the feedback!
beautiful track! nicely done.
Much appreciated!
beautiful car!
Thanks. I couldn't agree more!
