You sent an AFX Aztec dragster to race? The afx dragster went .339 at 48mph on 20 volts during testing |

Ran out of time on my Unlimiteds. The new build had some issues and not enough time to work through them. So I decided to run my original two FED's again. Found the problem that caused me to slow in the last race with the Blue/White Dragster. A spun crown. It's held with JB Weld all these years and finally gave up. In trying to repair it I broke the chassis  . So I'm down to one Orange/White FED. Going to give it a tune up along with my List cars and call it good.

Well it was a sad night of testing for me. My cars will not be a threat unfortunately. They all went turd on me. I will run them anyway for filler if nothing else.

Jeff,
Sorry I will not make the race, there was a live unlimited pancake/inline race close by me this past Sunday and I had my cars at that race, I was hoping I could do a quick refresh on the 4g cars, but they needed more done so not enough turnaround time to fix and ship out.

That sounds pretty awesome! I agree with you on the smaller hole then it can be drilled to the size desired. Thanks Sam! I just put a .036 shim on the bottom of the plate to mesh up with a 20T crown gear, works great. View AttachmentView AttachmentView AttachmentDon’t know why I didn’t think of that? No problem with arm being pulled up too high at the brushes? What did you use for shim material? |

I use the taller Dash brushes 076 or V-notched 092
I have used Lexan and Carbon Fiber
PS. The chassis with the higher step works best since it has the brushes sitting higher anyway.

ET's? MPH? perspiring minds want to know. |

I was already seeing a pretty sizeable gap between the com and the brushes before even considering shimming. Sorry to hear that you will not be making the race Steve, but if I had any local racing going on I would be doing that too. Maybe you can make the next one. |

I sent 6 of my personal cars and they took 1st and 2nd in unlimited pancake (Raced by Sheldon Ross) and 1st in unlimited inline (Raced by Sheldon Ross and Tim Thompson, #1 Qualifier Sheldon Ross orange Camaro-Wizard, Tim won with my yellow Porsche-Viper), I let some friends run them for me, I was at the Chiefs game with my son, I built #3 Unlimited pancake (Tim Thompson) and #3 Unlimited inline (Jayden) for those guys some time back and rebuilt Justin's purple Camaro-BSRT that took #2 unlimited inline, his car previously ran 65mph at that track, I think he went 99mph also this time out after the refresh, what was impressive his car had a resin body and was pretty heavy like 26g vs 18g on my scale, he would have gone quicker and faster with Lexan, but still managed 2nd.
Track length full 1/4 20.750'
25v
20 amps
Pancake track record .306@75mph (3g AFX)
Inline track record .207@99mph, the car went 106mph right before qualifying, but only would run 99mph afterwards, I'm sure it needed a small adjustment, but Sheldon doesn't know unlimited, oh well still set a track record.
The shutdown wasn't that great and at least 3 cars were broken from hitting the end, one was my car that went .207 and I think the other 2 were cars I built and rebuilt for Justin Schlesener a Wizard and BSRT Nova.
