The old car despite being top heavy ran pretty smooth!👍😊

Oh yeah! Funny thing it was wonky from the new tires being so shiny I drove it some more until they dulled up and now it's running like a BEAUTY! 👍 Thanks for watching.

The car really well, shame the wing makes it a little top heavy.

Hi it definitely was the new tires being so shiny I then ran the car some more until the tires wore in and got dull and wow it ran so much better and smoother around the track! what a fun car! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for Posting Steve .. runs nice for an old car . My eyes hurt trying to keep up 😂
@BSslotcarsАй бұрын
Thanks, it's even running much better now I found the new tires had to wear in, I got them dulled up from using the car a bit and wow the cars running like a dream now!
@AddamsPlaygroundАй бұрын
Cool to see an old one running around the track! That big ol wing and roof scoop did not help it in the turns but it was flying around there well!
@BSslotcarsАй бұрын
Thanks bud, I found out the problem later on the tires needed a break in to get them dull and it ran much better and also the cars pick ups were hitting the sides of the front of the body and catching a little ledge it has on both sides and the pick ups did not fully go up so the cars front tires were never on the ground so it was handling kind of like a ATC tipping... now she runs like a dream!

Good stuff👍🏻don’t see people running those chassis much. The Blazin Brakes chassis from the same era run great. SCFL!

🤣🤣🤣🤣 But I did learn with these new tires you must wear the shine off them, I ran the car for more laps and when the tires got dull it started running much better more predictable and you could push it through the turns and it would slide out if pushed to hard and not just pop off like in the video when they were brand new, Cars running like a beauty now! Thanks for watching much appreciated!

Nice car and for new tires and no practice with it on a non-afx aurora track it did pretty well.
@BSslotcarsАй бұрын
Yes it's awesome! I ran it more and the tires got dull now she runs like a champ! So much better and fun! New shine on the tires must be worn off for best performance. Thanks for watching.

Steve I double checked the thumb nail on the 55 and I see the difference between the front and rear hubs, just more chrome on the fronts!
@BSslotcarsАй бұрын
yeah I don't know why they did it like that? kind of looks stupid.

Confirms my butt dyno, old AFX stuff runs well. Just enough slide. Looked good to me.👍👍😎🇺🇸

Thanks! These are fast I think on 18V in a drag race it will beat the new mega G+ I found out the problem later on the tires needed a break in to get them dull and it ran much better and also the cars pick ups were hitting the sides of the front of the body and catching a little ledge it has on both sides and the pick ups did not fully go up so the cars front tires were never on the ground so it was handling kind of like a ATC tipping... now she runs like a dream!

Hi the you could run a bit smaller tires but II ran it more and as the tires got dull the car ran so much better , also I found on this car if you take a look how wide the front nose is behind the front white spoiler the body is so wide and on it's sides in the front it has a lip and I found the pick ups front were snagging on the body not letting the pick ups fully compress so that was most likely why it had that funky handling the front was up and the front tires were not hitting the track causing like a 3 wheeler effect in the turns. Thanks for watching.

I never found your video on how you connected the 18650 battery to charge the cheap Amazon lap counter. Thanks.
@BSslotcarsАй бұрын
Hi I never made one, you need to open it up and solder a wire from the positive and negative inside and run it out and get a battery holder and use one 18650 battery cell with it.

It’s top heavy..no wonder with the massive bug catcher ( air intake) on top😂😂 Do the new AFX chassis fit the old school stuff Steve? 🍻Mal

👍 Hi it is not the body I found the brand new tires with that shine on them caused the erratic handling because I ran it some more laps and got the tires worn in dull and man she is running like a dream now! I know the older afx mega g you can use older afx bodies but the new mega G+ I don't think you can unless somebody makes a body clip adaptor so you can use the older afx bodies? Thanks so much for watching.
