Slade is working on a new project. Check out the AFX G+ Project page for the first looks. It IS radically cool Old Skool!
Check out the Assembly/Disassembly videos for G3 cars by Gary Beedle. They are on the Videos and Tips and Tricks pages here on the site. The same step apply for Tomy Super G Plus cars. Keeping these cars up and running is far easier than you could imagine ;-))
Check out the new stuff from Doug Morris. His newsletter page here on this site has all the details on these fantastic 'Short Block' chassis. I purchased one of each style. For the money, I don't think you can build a finer car - they are works of art!
HC Slots now offers painted lexan bodies. These can be pinned and trimmed for either BSRT G cars or Wizzard. Call or emial for latest availability and price.
Diamond Endbell Brush Pre-Seating Tool $24.95
This somewhat unassuming tool is a true Pro Racer essential for running BSRT Scale Auto or Tomy Super G Plus cars. It is used in conjunction with a brush-arm spreading tool to cut an arc in the motor brushes that approximates that of the armature commutator. The tool is used by first spreading the arms of the endbell with the endbell tool. The diamond seater is then inserted into the endbell as an armature would. The brush arms are then relaxed. About a dozen twists back and forth by hand will cut the arc. Spread the arms back out and remove the tool. Assemble the car and then break-in the motor at low voltage without the rear axle for a few hours. NOTE: not responsible for misuse. DO NOT use under power such as in a Dremel. Practice on run-out endbells first.
A Family Affair
I received a request from "R.B." to put together five cars for his family. A family that races together, stays together! He wanted cars that were fast yet easy to maintain. He also wanted some specific colors for the bodies. We chose BSRT / Scale Auto 905EX race-ready chassis with aluminum body posts installed. Hopefully the kids will like the paint work.
When Slots Go Bad Some where in on a continent far, far, away - a Tomy Turbo had a bad day! In fact, a lot of the track didn't fair well either. Ouch!
