Great info! I opened an old box in the attic last week, and, my god, I'm hooked again...

[@vitoman50]

Sweet! It's definitely a passion!

[@justindurand9110]

Woohoo! New episode! Thanks Kevin. Never thought to check the chassis like that. I'm going to give it a try.

[@vitoman50]

Justin Durand Sorry been real busy lately. Try to do one every other week but life happens.

[@justindurand9110]

Completely understandable, no need to apologize! 8-)

Just found your channel, great information....setting up a 1/32 track but the principles you teach can be applied. Love the HO cars as well now! Might have to set a small track up! Thanks for posting the series🇦🇺👍😎🏁

Wish I seen this before I tore up the only one I have! Great info. Got a new 10amp 30 volt power supply. Cars run cooler and cleaner wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it. 300 laps and still going on one set of shoes! Love it. I have an older power supply 24volt 100 amp if u know any one interested. FYI unused

[@vitoman50]

Mike Douglas just did it.

[@tb6651]

Terrific info Kevin.

[@vitoman50]

T B thanks glad to hear. Thanks for watching.

You should shim you magnets (simply put tape on the backside to shim the magnet closer to the arm), this gives more rpm and torque, and they dont fall out during maintenance, win win.

[@jcsgaragejohnc.5027]

All your videos, are a great help

[@CharlesFlahertyB]

I can't get proper voltage reading on the track like you 1st show. I have the tri power packs to each lane but no matter what setting it's on it dosen't match the set voltage and fluctuations are crazy.

Hi Keven, you got me back into the hobby! But you didn't record the most difficult part of reassembling the motor at 11:20, how to put in the armature back without moving the brushes out of place. That is the toughest part I have found, and it takes me quite a few tries to get it right. Is there any help you can give about that?

[@vitoman50]

Hold the magnets down with your finger tips and be careful not to move the brushes.

[@slotcarbt834]

Question: On an old armature remove the wrapped wiring then run a small wire from each of three 3 armature legs. would this be to fast or would it just burn up

[@vitoman50]

Never wound a arm, think you would have to run a more than one wrapping of wire.

[@mzondi1970]

This is Matt from the Facebook pages. Total newbie question because I don't use a Multimeter much really at all what do you set the meter on? I'm running just a standard wall wart the Tomy kind the non switchable unit. Disregard I was only about halfway through when I asked my question LOL

[@CrazyBite2007]

Hey I just find your channel and maybe you can help with a question about another H0 brand (auto world 4 gear) It has a plastic guide pin, but the cars when they crash at a corner the pin will bend or break quickly. Do you know if I can use metal guide pin from another brand slot car? I cannot find guide pins that are metal and specifically for auto world 4 gear chassis. Or do I have to do some DIY?
