Take a look at these Videos. I will be making some adjustments and getting some more passes in tomorrow. This thread is unlocked now. Feel free to post comments. Ninjatek's Rat RodI'll get some full passes on this one later. I'll flatten out the braids a little to see if it will keep from DeSlotting. Ride height could also be a little high. I'll dig deeper into this one. Sounds smooth, Love the Aluminum wheels. Click on picture to view video  Bondoman.8546 @ 16.67 MPH
.8565 @ 16.39 MPHAs discussed Ron. I will replace the braid for you. I know this one has been sitting untouched since the Fall Nat's last year with all that has been going on. I'll freshen it up for you. Glad you were able to be a part of this event. Click on picture to view video  Ninjatek Gasser
.6694 @ 19.26 mph
.6806 @ 19.65 mphSounds good and is smooth. Might have a little too much downforce. I'll be making more passes later with all the cars and see if I can get some more out of it. Click on picture to view video  Slotman Gasser
.7420 @ 16.84 mph
.7493 @ 16.71 mphChassis and ride height is set up nicely. This car has a original Aurora chassis which in the past, we have seen that it is hard to get good power out of them due to not enough motor brush tension. This car flat out gets off the line but tops out very quick. More passes later with some adjustments. Click on picture to view video  |

Second T&T Session numbers. Flatten braid and smaller front tires.  Took apart, cleaned up com and brushes. Had a little oil on both.  New Armature. Old armature in good condition just ohm's a little high. Shimmed Motor Magnets, Cleaned up brushes. Could use a set of matched motor magnets.  Slotman, Not much better. Will send you a new chassis. |
