Can you change the axle on the sled? I have one that is bent, but haven't been able to get it off...

UNA PIEZA EXCELENTE

👌

I bet a few seconds in an ultrasonic cleaner or under a karcher would get the mould off!

Wheels are not the original AH c/74 wheels, seem to be from another model, maybe Porsche Spyder

Great Video . How are the Braids attached are they soldered as just got a couple of these cars and they need replacing. Thanks.

The cracked screen is very common with this and the C3-10 Javelin cars. It is caused by the heat from the motor, most of the time the screens 'melt' first then later crack.

You’ve just earned a subscriber. Really good video, currently rebuilding a C82 lotus formula junior car, with its motor in several pieces. Finally, I can put it back together without looking in the depths of the web for a replacement motor. (I haven’t found a single replacement formula junior motor on eBay)

Great Video! Maybe you know where I got two armatures for this type of engine can buy?

Great how to video! Subbed your channel!!

These are so cute but getting brushes for these small engines proves difficult.

Thanks for the tips! Very nice.

Don’t forget the lube son .😊

Forgot the lube son 😮 !

As someone new to renovating and repairing my Scalextric cars I find your videos most helpful and interesting. Thank-you.

i have put the later guide steering and driver head onto the c73. i love all formula junior. ortman tyres and stronger engine magnets makes the fly and fun to drive IMO

GT Speed set, 1969, Mirage Ford C15, Ferrari P4 C16, Banked track, Best childhood Xmas ever! 😊

One of my Holy Grails, ever since I saw this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYLTg5qieZ5qjNU

Very good upload, really helpful. Ive been into slot cars on and off for a few year's and having found an old Audi Quattro the other day, stripped it and cleaned it up. Thank's to you I got the rear grille piece under the spoiler back in properly, so all good now.. Many Thank's Hope to see some more video's from you soon.

I heard somwhere that the Formula Junior motors were much like the motors used in the Triang Stevenson's Rocket locomotive

How does the guide pin fix in place. I bought a new guide pin, but it keeps working its way out.

Great video ,I to have cars with this problem my cars are stored in a climate controled basement, but I believe it is the darkness and some humidity contribute to this . I have a question for you did you submerge the axles and tires in the olive oil as well and one more question do you or any one you know , have a video on how to restore old scalextric formula 1 s not the sledge motor the other ones thanks again for the post you have a new subscriber Keep it it the slot GAS on !

It can also be called a bolt, a slide bolt

The Mabuchi was introduced in the eighties.

You have the last two the wrong way around. The Black ended motor is before the natural Nylon ended one

Thanks for the video! I just picked one of these up on ebay. Didn't realize it was that old.

These two cars seem to be quite unique or they are a combination of two years. The G2 guide type should only come with the Big Head upper body from what I know but being Sixty years old it's kind of hard to say for certain whether your cars are totally original or not. In the second edition catalogue it shows the cars with a Big Head. It's hard to know with these old cars because anything could have happened to them over the years. It's like the wheels, my understanding is that these MMC/58 Cooper cars should have Black wheels and the C88 Cooper has Chrome wheels.

Looks like I'm wrong about how long the G2 guide type was used. I was always led to believe it was just 1960 but it appears that it was '60 and '61. Well you learn something every day

Yes, fuel caps on the sides

Actually both cars are MMC/56's. The Yellow car has a G2 guide type (or commonly called Loop Braid/ Big Head) that was only made in 1960. The Blue car has the G3 guide type (or commonly called Medium Head) that was actually introduced in 1961 with the change in the driver as you correctly pointed out. The Blue car is an MMC/56 E1 which you correctly stated that it means it has lights. I believe it is possible to get MMC/56 E1 G2 cars which you stated you have seen but I never have. The globes are almost impossible to source nowadays, which is unfortunate because I have an MMC/56 E1 G3 car that needs a pair of globes and one of the front rubber globe holders which I'll probably never find. I was fortunate enough to purchase a bag of NOS rear rubber globe holders with globes many years ago to repair a different MMC/56 E1 G3 car many years ago now for French cars but thankfully they're exactly the same as English ones.

Fantastic condition 👍

Good vidoe hi done the same when put the body back on car won't go take the body of car goes around circuit why thanks

Hi, did you find replacement pick up rubber retainer blocks any where ? I'm in need of one to fit a Cooper with the same guide set up that im trying to resurrect from my childhood box of parts. Thanks.

Much thanks .These are great cars.We race these sled type cars at our Wed.slotcar meets.They hold the track well and are fast enough to be fun.Well worth having.

Nice to see these early cars 👍

where do you get the new pins from?

thats got a lovely "Johnson" :) lol

Nice car runs well

Hello, very nice. But why don't you change broken screen, and as far as I do know driver has red cap and yellow scarf? Otherwise OK. Regards Manfred

Thanks for another great video

Never seen one with wheels like that. Mine has the standard small front / fat rears with ribbed tyres. They run pretty well with new tyres. You can get an airbox for it for £2.99.

Interesting comparison, good video

Guessing this wouldn't be suitable for the RX motors because of the brass end locating bar ? . Love seeing the early 60's cars 👍

Nice. Garage made tools are the best kind! Do you have a Facebook page or discord for the channel?

Wow, I have never seen this. I have an old martini 911 where the white has turned yellow / brownish, do you know any way to fix that other than a repaint?
