Very good presentation. I'm so used to seeing your Dad on here lol. A pleasant surprise for sure.👍👍🤘🤘. I'm in the process of rebuilding a non magnatraction traction chassis today. Keep up the craziness guys. I'm here in Western New York. Slotcar central is an hour and a half away from me.

Terrific video kid tyco 440 rebuild

I always install motor assembly from the bottom

Yes you will

Tyco is notorious for "tight" axle and bulkhead holes, put the axles in the chassis and see if it will coast down a slight incline, if Ok put arm/w gears and bulkheads in if it doesn't I use tip cleaners for oxyacetelin cutting torches to "open up" the holes, with great results, been doing it since Tyco came out with the 440 chassis with the one piece magnet

Stock spring only

I have been playing around with the 3.5 ohm armature with level 8 motor magnets. Somehow it doesn’t run as fast as I thought. Do you have any advice on what I am doing wrong. Love your videos by the way.
