This is Crossfire and The Ghostbusters,
Would like to Challenge Cristine to a Match,
How about it ?

Congrats to ECBill, he is the winner of the 3rd game with his .787 guess. This car is about #10 out of 15 stock Tycos I have. I am planning a stock/super stock race for Tyco chassis for my next race.

 Christine is busy casting spells but will take some time out to sweep away any disbeliever.

Final race game. Will end this one on the Thursday the 30th just before race day.
Prize is a new Auto World AFX 3 gear chassis.

The red 57 Chevy is running an AFX magnatraction chassis with 2 traction magnets, braided pickups, 14.5 ohm armature, STOCK motor magnets, 80/20 motor brushes. Runs good.

Thanks Dave. Didn’t expect that. Several guesses were close, guess they were on the hight side.

So you wanna dig the Tycos out of mothballs?  Early in my Nitro Slots endeavors, I tried hard to make the Tycos competitive but you guys kept whooping my tail with Super G+ derivatives.

Guess an all Tyco affair would be good.

BTW, sharp Nomad!

Thanks Bill, that 57 Chevy body is a factory AW AFX car that they did very well on. I ran it in the Unlimited class in the past and was lucky enough to have it come out unscathed. It is the best looking of that type of car in my opinion.
Yes, I don't know why we have ignored Tyco here at NS in the past as it is a very popular chassis. I plan to allow any stock Tyco chassis in stock with a few mods allowed in Super Stock, should be interesting.

Tyco chassis have not been ignored here, they just have not been competitive in years past to the SG+ type chassis. I believe you were the only one to get them to run competitively. That is one of the reason we created the Inline pure stock and did not allow any of the other "High Performance" chassis or advanced timing settings so it would open the door for running the Tyco and other chassis that we don't get to see.

One of my unlimited entrants is a TYCO 440x2 in an AW TF body. I'm hoping it stays in the .4's... I had a couple of hot arms that ended up being too old and burnt during tune up so the arm isn't too off stock Will be shipping out today or tomorrow.
PS Do I send the tracking # to you in a PM?

[dave632]

Yes JWMoor, you can send the tracking number in a PM or on the site. PM makes it easier to find. Unlimited can be a tough class to run. I have fried some very good arms in that class despite only running at 20 volts.

Dave, I don't expect to make it far, hoping to make the field. So far it looks promising. But more importantly I'll be able to get some info on what the cars will do on what looks like a good track . JW
