A day off work and a bush walk along the coast.

Thats odometer.
Anyhows, yes i do still hear daily everything fishtank related and yeah the photos do show my kid has a proper nice big fish tank thats well set up.
But today he deviated from his fish escapades back to slot cars. Dunno why. So we both have scaletric cars, other then tyres they are what they are. Super glue the fronts as the guide does the steering so less front grip is best and grippy rears because corners. But we also have race spec revoslot cars. Talking a few years back, i bought 2 identical ones with different liveries, so gt2 viper gtsr's. His is the one with blue stripes, mine is the fat turbo express with eyelashes. I dont care, same car to keep the competition equal. Not that we raced them competitively, if you've ever spectated a slot car race night it genuinly is 6 50 year old virgins who punch on if someone's 32nd scale car takes theirs out.
But back to regular crap talking. Both his and my cars are modified the same and to the rules of the revo class. So stock motor and gearing. No weights or magnets. Guide and tyres and wheels are unlimited. So 9mm guides, superglued fronts and he has aftermarket rubber, i run aftermarket foam. Which is better? Depends on how dirty the track is. But still, he reckons he can beat me. I doubt that. Both cars are equal, but mine is a tad heavier as the body is held together with glue. His is in good shape because he does this weird things kids dont tend to do, and thats respect stuff.
