Wow, have a gone slot car racing in years. The last time I went I had a group 12 wing body.

[WayneLink]

Your hands did a great job in blocking the view on how to braid the wires. 😁

[SlotCarMisfitsofallscales]

Awesome info ! I’ve been learning Alott

[Quyigonn]

Possibly stupid question (havent soldered metal pieces like that). Based on my experience with wiring i was taught that the material has to be properly hot to accept the solder. What keeps these solder joints from separating like a classic cold solder?

[jasonw]

My first thought was to want to tig weld the motor mount but soldering would probably be just fine . it doesn't experience the kind of force necessary to need a Tig weld .

[jerryhermann]

Honestly you couldnt glue your pinion on, or set your own gear mesh? Serriously?!

Glad to see brushless in slot cars.

An additional benefit to the braiding, other than looks, we used it to prevent interference with RC radios back around 2005-2010, No issue here of course, but it might can interfere with the computers so maybe a benefit there
I have been a slot car guy since the 1990's and in the middle 2k's when brushless took over RC cars, i was hoping someone could figure out the slotcar side of it. I saw someone playing with castle Phoenix esc's in slots, was that you guys? I see you have your own esc now, is it castle based?
BTW have you tried brushless Inrunners? i would think the outrunners would get gummed up with tire dust and possibly track glue. very messy to clean up

[buzzedalldrink]

wow! this popped up on my YouTube. I know nothing about slot cars! I watched the whole video, it is very interesting . Are they really that fast? How do they not fall off? how expensive is this hobby? What would a car cost? Thanks.

Im bummed that i got food poisoning and couldn't try one out during the state race

Where can I buy a brushless motor? Will also need to buy speed controllers. All I can find is ebay.
Please
I run Hawk 7's and Hawk 9 motors now. What brushless is comparable? 48k-58k RPM

[TheBrookian]

It's come a long way from Parma Womp Womps and D16 motors....

[keithwtheandonly]

And Where did you buy the screw in mount that you soldered in?

[keithwtheandonly]

What kind of a coast do you get on a brushless motor. When the truck turns off?

[lewschwander]

Can these motors bolt in to a Cheetah 21 chassis without using a bracket?

[miners_treasures]

You mean Locktite is enough to keep pinion on when motor gets hot?

[MikeFleming-if]

There’s no need to grind on the chassis to get a good solder joint and the leadwire on those cars looks like a bowl of spaghetti.
What a mess.
I’ll put some brushless cars together when chassis designed for them are available.

What about a mosetti edition marcos? Cost
