SLOT MINIAUTO 82 – SETIEMBRE



NUESTRA EDITORIAL



A muchos les habrá sorprendido que en plena canícula veraniega nuestra portada transmita el frío del blanco nieve. Un MG-B, fotografiado por nuestro amigo y colaborador Luis Demófilo, nos sirve para plasmar el pequeño estado de ánimo de este mundo. Un ambiente frío, algo gris, salpicado cada cierto espacio de tiempo por alegres notas de color. Cada nueva aportación de las empresas es celebrada como cuando un buen piloto ofrece un buen espectáculo en un tramo. En este caso el MG B de Superslot pone el color adecuado, con una reproducción impecable.



Nuestro entorno no esta para fiestas, pero no es negro. En nuestra portada domina el blanco, la suma de todos los colores, no el negro que es la ausencia de éstos. Ello significa que la esperanza no sólo la representan los protagonistas destacados, si no todos los que hacen que podamos seguir soñando en conseguir el blanco.



Después de nuestra pausa de agosto, volvemos a retomar el pulso a nuestro hobby. Quedan cinco meses para que el ciclo anual de propuestas vuelva a iniciar el ritmo de la vida del slot. De este curso nos quedan cosas por descubrir y nos gustaría poder hacerlo con vosotros. Esperamos que Slot MiniAuto siga siendo el prisma que refracta el blanco y lo descomponga en los colores que hemos podido disfrutar durante muchos años.

PRESS RELEASE







SLOT MINIAUTO 82 – SEPTEMBER







OUR LEADING ARTICLE



Many would be surprised that our summer cover transmits the cold white snow. The MG-B, photographed by our friend and collaborator Luis Demófilo, serves to capture the small state of mind of this world. A cold environment, something gray, splashed every certain period of time by cheerful coloured notes. Every new brand item contribution is held like when a good pilot makes an excellent driving stage. In this case, the Scalextric MG B sets the right colour, with an outstanding replica.

Around us is not for parties, but not black. Our September cover overlooks the white, the sum of all colours, black is the absence of these. This means, that the hope is not only represented by the leading players, but all of which enable us to keep dreaming of getting the target.

After our August break, we return to feel the pulse of our hobby. There are now five months to the yearly cycle of proposals that restart the pace in the slot life. This year there are still things to discover and we would be able to do it with you. Slot MiniAuto hope that continue to be the prism that refracts white, and break it down on all the colours that we together have enjoyed for many years.

Slot It GT40-LeMans 1966-Andretti-Bianchi

The Ford GT 40 is one of the most famous cars in Le Mans history, having won the 24 Hours four times, from 1966 to 1969.



The MKII version came in 1966, and thanks to the experience gained in 1964 and 1965, it dominated the Le Mans race with a 1-2-3 result.



The turning point in Ford's fortunes was the '66 Daytona 24 Hours, when four of the five Mark IIs finished first, second, third and fifth.



Visually, the MKII was little different from the standard GT40s. The car was very stable at high speeds after the lifting habit of the early models was solved. The MKII used the 7.0 liter (427ci) engine derived from the Ford Galaxie, with aluminum head; the power was 485 hp at 6300 rpm, and the car was able to reach a maximum speed of 330 km/h. The chassis was a steel semimonocoque, with a glass fiber body. The disc brakes were ventilated on the four wheels.

Difalco upgrade news

News from Jim Difalco:



Racers, I am accepting upgrade work at this time for all of our older "E" motion controller designs. Our brand new Genesis controller design uses a thin cable between the handle and the heatsink which now hangs on the track panel. This greatly reduces the weight in the handle for comfort as well as features our new E.S.P. - Extreme Stopping Power brake relay that gives superior full brake response for all 16D, Falcon, scale and Retro type racing. We can convert any 1/24, H.O. or 1/32 Difalco controller.

Attached above is a picture of a 1/24 Genesis controller. The Genesis 1/32 uses a super small heatsink, email for a picture.

Below are listed several upgrade combinations and their pricing. Pricing below is assuming the controller is in good working condition. Any parts or labor needed to bring your controller to satisfactory running condition is extra (example: replacing trigger braid or damaged parts, moving mush and or choke switches,etc.). Prices are for factory controllers, module conversions on the metal Parma frame may be extra. I will notify you of any additional costs. All prices include ground shipping in the USA.

Payment: You can prepay with a money order or check but please note there may be added costs as described above. I also accept Paypal. Sales tax collected for repairs in Florida. Please write a short note with what you want done, your phone or cell number, shipping address and Paypal email if applicable.

Tune up: General tune-up gets everything adjusted, contacts cleaned and the controller checked out for potential problems and worn out parts. Minor parts will be replaced if needed. $35

Ball Bearings: Our special ball bearing kit removes all side trigger play, lightens up trigger response and keeps the wiper button firmly planted on the circuit board. The best money you will spend on your controller. $12 for controllers with our threaded trigger pin and $16 for 10 band models using the Parma trigger pin (my trigger pin uses a pivot nut with a nylon insert and the Parma uses a very small plain nut.) Prices for ball bearings are only good when you send in the controller for other work. If you want to add ball bearings yourself order my DD720 or DD721 (includes trigger pin) kit from your raceway.

HD30 Upgrade: Upgrade your 10 or 15 band controller to our new HD design with 30 bands for greatly improved response for Retro, scale and flat track racing. HD30 upgrade comes with a standard plug in network that is best for Falcon,16D and G12 motors. Other networks available for 1/32, H.O. up to G7 type racing. A tune up is included in this upgrade. $94 for 1/24 or 1/32. $99 for H.O.

Genesis Upgrade: We take your controller and replace from the handle down with our light weight cable design and modify the circuit board to add the E.S.P. relay option. New frame hardware is also install as needed, only your heatsink and transistor are reused. We give you a full power relay as well as all new wire and alligator clips. This upgrade can be done on your 10 or 15 band Pro plus, Fanatic or "E"motion HD30 controller. Tune up is included. $108 for 1/24, $115 for H.O., $108 for 1/32 (There is an extra $8 charge on very old 1/24 models using our "U" shaped or long heatsinks that do not fit our current hole pattern as the heatsink will be replaced.)

NOTE: the Genesis conversion is only for positive polarity at this time so any controller with dual polarity will loose that feature. The Genesis conversion can not be run on tracks without a brake post as used on some 1/32 and H.O. tracks.

Genesis and HD30 upgrade combination: Upgrade your 10 or 15 band controller to our Genesis design and the HD30 at the same time and save. $180 for 1/24, $187 for H.O., $180 for $1/32.

E.S.P. Brake Relay: I can add the E.S.P. feature to your standard controller even if you do not want to upgrade to the Genesis. Tune up included. $45

Fanatic Upgrade: We can upgrade your 15 band Pro plus or Fanatic controller by adding our wider range 20 ohm Fanatic pots. This will let you adjust the controller sensitivity to run 1/32 Ninco type cars, H.O., Retro up to a G7 motor. Tune up included. $48

Dual Brake Rheostats: We can add a second brake rheostat if you want to use your controller for 1/24 and 1/32/H.O. racing so you have the correct brake response. Inquire for pricing.

Mush button: $16 extra when other work is done.

1/24 Choke: We build custom wire relay chokes with a rotary selector and bypass switch. We replace the main wires with lighter weight wires and tune up the controller. $180 for adding our 8 position relay choke to your "E"motion controller. $15 for each additional choke setting up to 10 total positions. Inquire for pricing on adding a choke to a Genesis controller.

Handles: New cut and fitted Parma handles available for $14. Various colors. Painted handles available soon at additional cost.

Alligator clips and insulators: $3 for a new set of clips and $1.50 for new insulators.

If there is an upgrade or a feature you would like that is not listed please let me know.

Thanks for your time and the opportunity to keep your controller performing like new!

Please email me with any questions, Jim Difalco

Mobile Car Service for Busy People- How to Stay Organized and Stay on the Road

If you spend a lot of time on the road, you need to make sure that your vehicle is in A1 condition. Time off road is downtime, and that can get expensive. It can also leave you with a backlog of things to do that also cost time as well as money. It’s a good idea to make sure that you’ve got an all-areas car service available when you need it. The fact is that busy people don’t usually have the time to think about covering the basics of their business. There’s a lot to do, and many people are often mentally as well as physically on the move all the time. The result is that when there’s a problem, it derails everything, because there’s a gap in dealing with the issues. If the problem is a car, you need options available right from the start. Using an all-areas mobile car service, for both routine maintenance and emergency situations really makes a big difference. The huge advantage is that you can schedule your car work to have a minimum impact on your time for servicing, as well as making sure you can get instant service when you need it, on or off the road. This cuts downtime drastically and you can get things happening with a phone call.  
 
Shopping around for your car service

It’s important to make sure you find a car service company which has a full range of mobile services. The best options are usually the bigger car service companies, which have both the area coverage and the resources to get any work done that needs doing with no fuss. This is a sort of “shopping list” for the best car service:

• All areas- All areas service means you don’t have to go through the paperwork of setting up an account every time you need some assistance.
• Upfront quotes- Very important, and a sign of a good service ethic.
• All makes and models of cars service- This ensures you’re getting professional quality service.
• Industry standard parts- Another quality control, and makes sure you’re getting best quality parts for your car.
• Regular service options- Regular servicing means you prevent the problems caused by wear and tear on your car developing into major issues.

A quick online search will narrow down your choices to a few good car service companies. Check rates and service quality, and you should find the right service people easily enough.


Car service and insurance

There’s another good reason for doing business with the best car service people. Car insurance. Your car insurers prefer to see your car getting serviced by reputable car mechanics, and a good car service company can save a lot of bureaucratic runaround. There’s a good reason for the car insurers being a bit fussy. The top car service people are both professional and reliable, and they’re up to speed on the car insurance processes and issues. The insurance process runs smoothly mainly because they know the procedures and the insurers have faith in them. Get your car service organized, and everything works like clockwork.

Made in Indonesia Soon Produced Byson

One of Yamaha products in the sports segment, namely Byson, obtaining a high enough demand in Indonesia. The same is happening in their home country, India. As a result, Yamaha Motor Kencana Indonesia (YMKI) scramble to meet consumer demand for Indonesia. On the other hand there is also a problem. Byson exported to Indonesia in fact many are rejected.

It was presented the President Director YMKI Dyonisius Beti, in an iftar held at the Golf Course Simpruk Yamaha, Jakarta, yesterday (10 / 8).

Well, because the demand is quite high also, Yamaha Indonesia plans to assemble or even make Byson "Made in Indonesia". Because the standard of a higher quality of Yamaha Indonesia. "Yamaha Japan has plans to make special components for Byson which will be assembled in Indonesia," Dyon said.

Responding to excellence main rival, Honda, the motorcycle market in Indonesia is currently re-mastering share above 50 percent, Dyon's only comment, will give priority to (attempt) the hearts of consumers.
If the first unbeaten Yamaha scooter in the segment, now it's been taken over by Honda. Honda is very vigorous attack by marketing more than the Yamaha scooter variants. Currently, eight variants of the Honda scooter market, while the Yamaha is only four, consisting of Standard Mio, Sporty, Soul, and Xeon 125.
The same thing happened on the total model with variants. Honda by 27 models or variants, while the Yamaha is only 11.

Dyon also explained, Yamaha did not want to come 'jor-rod' offering low down payment. "We will not follow the ways in which the competitors by offering DP (down payment) cheap. In fact, we plan to set a standard 20 percent down payment of the price of the motor, "Dyon said.

In this way, only those who really want to have a motorcycle that wants to buy with a down payment of it. Exemplified, if the price of Rp15 million motorcycle, then the deposit should be Rp 3 million.

Further, with a low down payment, such as Rp1 million, a lot of speculation. "Especially before Lebaran. If they can not continue the mortgage, leasing them back. Under conditions of a motorcycle with a low down payment, the buyer does not continue the mortgage ratio is high, namely 20 percent, "Dyon beber.

Further He said there was no agreement among members of the Indonesian Motorcycle Industry Association (AISI) for making the lowest down payment standard. "Not all agreed," Dyon said. Admittedly, the strategy could have done it would reduce sales. However, the way it is considered more effective and efficient.
