MR Slotcar 1/32 McLaren F1 GTR — Part 2: Blueprinting & Assembly 4K

Welcome back my friends.

Today, I'm happy to share the next steps in our MR Slotcar race prep journey - blueprinting and assembly of this awesome MR Slotcar 1/32 McLaren F1 GTR white kit.

As many of you may be aware, I am getting ready to race at the MR Slotcar Challenge race at Electric Dreams in El Segundo, November 4th and 5th. We're not too far out, so it's time to hit the turbo and get this car done! If you're interested in learning more about the race, you can keep an eye out on www.electricdreams.com, or email the shop for rules and costs. It will be attended by Ernie Mossetti, the owner of MR Slotcar, and is going to be a fun event.

In this video, I will walk you through the parts I'm using on this car, along with their part numbers and I have even included links to some of the parts below to make it easy. The goal of this video is to show you how I approach the middle part of the build here where I am beginning to add parts, assembly the slot car, and make sure that everything fits like it should. I also use this opportunity to make sure I know what spacers, tolerances, and parts I will need for the final assembly.

Here's a list of the parts I mention in this video:

1. MR Slotcar MR2202 — Wood Track Version Guide
2. SlotingPlus SP151312 M2 Stainless Steel Lock Nut
3. SlotingPlus SP153306 — Conical Head Screw Inox
4. MRSLOTCAR MR7052 Ergal Aluminum Wheels 16.5 X 8.2mm - 3/32" Axle
5. MR SLOTCAR MR7022 ARIA WHEELS ‘ERGAL’ 15.8 X 10.2 'AIR RIMS
6. MR SLOTCAR MR6627R 15.5MM ERGAL ANGLEWINDER GEAR, 27T
7. SlotingPlus SP041055 55mm Calibrated 3/32 Axle

I'm looking forward to finishing this series off with 2 more videos about the final assembly with tires, and the last video about finishing off the McLaren F1 GTR White body.

I hope this video is helpful to those who are looking to participate in the race, and if you're just a casual observer I hope this helps you understand some of the things I do to make a slot car faster.

Got some ideas for a video you'd like to see? Let me know in the comments section!

Thanks!
Ian
