    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 .

    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?

    They roll a good way if you keep the trigger pulled. A brushed car will roll farther that way too. They do have very good braking depending on the hand controller adjustments.

    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

    Thank you for your interest! Yes they are fast! No motor maintenance either. The downforce of the body helps keep them in the slot. You can find everything to build a brushless slot car here kcracing.net. Checkout the other video’s on our channel for more brushless slot car information.

    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.
