We would like to ask your help with the assembly of a Scottie for next year, when we go to Akron this summer we would like to bring back with us a Scottie kit so we can start working on it as soon as we get back to our island. What should we purchase besides the kit from the AASBD so we can have the best setup? What else should we get that is not from the AASBD? We live in a small island that is 800 miles from Anchorage, Alaska, in the Bering sea; it is very expensive to fly, and fly stuff up here (up to $1600 to fly from here to Anchorage depending on the season) the maximum speed limit in our island is 30 miles per hour (same as the speed our soap box derby cars perform) and by boat (parcel post) things take a month to get here, thats why our soap box derby cars are getting shipped now so they can get there in time. That is why we would like to get everything we need when we fly to Akron this July.
Please share any tips, information and ideas on how to setup a fast Scottie car.

Thank you.

I am sorry, just realized this should have being under building, painting and finshing.

Kiera,
I would recomend you purchase some addtional parts. I've listed them in what I feel are priority order. Others may have a different view.
1) a second set of front and rear plates
2) an additional headrest (easy to mess these up)
3) an additional set of airfoils (again, these are easy to mess up)
4) an additional hatch hinge. This things can break.
5) an additional set of axles (better safe than sorry)

I think i have used all of the parts that GravityRules have listed about 2 or 3 times, becides the headrest (but thats because i had a custom done headrest on my old scottie)

Do you recommend using the regular axle mountig plate assembly or the alternate with the AASBD issued super stock angle iron?

Regular cable adjuster or PVC bushing or cap?

Foot brace supplied or custom made?

Regular brake pedal, and if so install the allowed pulley?

Or SM-6.04 Alternate Brake pedal? My daughter is 12 years old, 5 feet even and presently weighs 87 pounds.

Thanks.

My personal recomendations (they're worth what you paid for them):
1) super stock angle iron
2) PVC bushing or cap
3) custom foot brace
3) no
4) yes

What GravityRules said is what i would tell you to go with as well.

The regular axle mount is to much work to deal with, when I had the axle mount in my car, i would have to tighten it back up after every race because it would get loose.

I had no trouble with the superstock axle mount in the Scottie.

What do you suggest me make the custom foot brace out of and what size?

Kiera,
We just followed the plans that are in the rules for the alternate brake system.

Based on what I heard about the hatch hinge at the local over the weekend you might want to get a couple extras. I heard they bend really easy if you aren't careful with them and if they rest against themselves in the full open position much.
