It’s probably fine to skip it if you’re trying to blast through the series, but it’s an enjoyable little detour. It had the same overall atmosphere and was no more or less compelling than any of the other stories that weren’t big plot points. While the arc wasn’t the most exciting one I’ve seen so far, it didn’t really feel like a filler arc. The second is that no one has any idea where Lost Island is. The first is that the Marines are after Ryuuji for his bones, which they call “Dragonite” and believe will grant them immortality. Here’s the basic rundown: the Straw Hat crew is helping a little girl named Apis transport her elderly dragon friend to Lost Island, a place where he’ll regain his youth and vitality. Time to screw the whole car together.Here we are at the first filler arc of the series, the ‘Warship Island Arc’. The pulley was reamed out to 1/8", the straightest vintage threaded axle I could find modified and some vintage Hobby House bearing cups with 1/4" X 1/8" ball bearings fit the Hudy perfectly: The modified threaded axle I bought for the metric Hudy bearings just didn't run true enough.
WHISPER A DIARIE DC MOD
To true these threaded wheels and tires I made another mod to my Hudy tire grinder. The axle nuts are Cox flanged and the gears are Weldun 64P. Those are some giant Riggen threaded rears with 40mm "German" tires and Revell threaded front wheels and tires.
I needed 18 1/2" rear and 17 1/2" front wheels or a scale. The actual wheel diameter is about 1 1/2" bigger than that.
The 16" and 17" are tire sizes, or the diameter of the tires bead. The article above says to use 16" front wheels and 17" rears. Speaking of the livery, thanks for all the posts and PM's with helpīut first wheels and tires. LOOK AT THEM PIPES! Bazookas indeed! Whatever livery this car ends up with it's going to get a pair of Bazookas for sure. and called my HO track California Orange Raceway. It was at this time Team CORT started as I lived on Orange St. You don't get something for nuttin' so I will not go too wild at first as we want to run them on a road track. I would think that if these Kemtrons were too hot they would suffer from not enough magnet and not have much brakes. If I remember right the largest wire we could get to run on them was 31 wire?
WHISPER A DIARIE DC PC
Yes, they wore out the comms fast as 2-3 runs but they were stinkin' fast! We even raced MagnaTraction cars with the PC comms and they would trash the comms in 1-2 passes. Oh and our 29 wire G+ arms looked like they were wound with coat hanger and we put as many coils as we could on them to try to mild them out a little. I do have a listing for springs now days and think we could find what's needed. I have not got into these Kentron/KTM springs yet but if the springs are that weak you just have to find a coil spring made from larger wire. The guy at the hobby shop loved us because we would buy more arms and keep the best for road racing and rewind the new arms that did not make the cut. Then something else became the "fuse" like gears, tires, and wheels! We would show up with a handful of rewinds and blow through the comms racing. all we did is cut them down to get enough spring pressure to run big wire arms.without pushing the tubes out of the chassis. We then had springs that would not act like a fuse. So he and I went through everything we could take apart until we found springs that would fit the diameter of the brush tubes. One of the guy's dad owned a junkyard and he had seen small springs in lock tumblers from glove boxes and doors, etc. We could not get 31/30 and 29 wire to work at all.
I had a larger range of wire but the springs would just collapse (like a "fuse", remember the fuse statement). Our club did drag and road racing once a month as the local hobby shop owner rented the Grange Hall for us. wire and they were fast but we wanted more.
WHISPER A DIARIE DC HOW TO
I taught the guys how to rewind and we started rewinds with 34 ga.
I talked to Gary Beadle and those were as stout as he made because they were made for road racing with milder arms. Our HO club were using the stiffest springs BSRT made at the time for drag racing G+ cars.
