    Hey Mark ,I hope you and yours are doing well. Happy July 4th to all. I am looking at getting into the S7 stuff and putting Lexan bodies on a couple of my AFX MG+ for testing. I been having a lot of Dslotting with MG+ with the bodies, even with Viper tires on the flat turns. The 1.5 chassis is the worst with multiple style bodies. I currently have a 138' AFX track and 18' drag track. I have used the AW adjustable power supply, and AFX on Expert for most testing recently.( I have an adjustable PWS that I have not had time to install yet) What S7 would you recommend for plastic track with 9" and 12" banked turns? And where did you get your yellow Pennzoil Lexan body from I saw in another video? Thanks for the videos.

    I am surprised with the better tires you are having so many de-slots. You can also go with level 42 magnets for the Mega G plus, they really help with handling. As for the Super 7 I think the one Steven sells from Rooster Racing has the best overall configuration, it already comes with all the upgrades you can do to it. If you are looking for a budget S7 the base model that Terry sells on hcslots.com works well on a home AFX track. I got the yellow Pennzoil and most of my other Lexan bodies from Jay Jaap on Facebook, you can reach him via Facebook Messenger. Thanks

    @@marksslotcargarage Thank You Mark. I have 52 and 42 mags and not getting a good combo on my current track config by themselves with the bodies on them. One of my fastest on stock tires with an AFX body on it long chassis is one of my slowest on the drag track if you can believe it. Of course its not me.......But it has double stacked 33 mags stock tires. The fastest is a 1.5 chassis with no body, 42 and 33 stacked with Viper pink tires. But the PINK Viper tires are faster than the white and black tires I have.....go figure? But I fear double stacking the mags will shorten the motor life. I already burned off a rear hub on my stock C8, it just fell off mid race. I am talking with Steven RR already today.

    @@JDL_2020 Not sure what to make of the issue you are having with bodies on. My go to config for Mega G Plus has always been level 42 with either an HC Slots rear end setup or a Viper rear end setup. I think you will really like the Super 7, it is in a whole different class than the Mega G Plus.

    @@marksslotcargarage I hopefully will find out soon enough, I jumped in feet first and ordered from Steven. I am using the stock controllers for 1 and I suck at driving them? My track goes from banked curves to flat curves/corners back to banked curves with 2 18' long straight's . I will get a couple Defalco soon now that I have made the investment in decent cars. And it will probably change my set ups, again. I was not really expecting to be chasing speed. I could go on and on like I'm sure you could with setups but I do not have all the bells and whistles many have to draw on to customize/tweak.......yet at least. I don't have a go to combo, what works in one does not work as well in others I tried, just like in real race cars. In my testing it is night and day between racing with body off, I mean by a lot. Double stacking the magnets getting the weight lower/center of gravity lower is what leads me to believe the bodies were top heavy. Hence my search for AFX G+ Lexan clips and Lexan body to test. 138' of 2 lane track 6.96 sec without a body, I can't even come close to that with a body on, let alone stay on the track. But it makes sense why all the serious racers run Lexan bodies, right? Even in real drag cars, they have very light bodies and put the weight as low as possible. Then we can't ignore the timing systems, I am using a Carrera 2 lane lap counter/timer so the times are as good as that is accurate. As for it being me, to be fair I have not had much practice the last 10 month's.

    You will love the Rooster Racing Super 7 but it won't run well with a stock 120 ohm AFX controller. The 120 ohm only works with Mega G Plus cars. A Difalco with a sensitivity adjustment will help you a lot. Good luck.

    Hi Mark ... before I started collecting TYCO cars early on in my 6 ,moth of being in the hobby LOL I really thought what you do with building and tools was where I was leading to , I bought the Harden Presses and Pullers and some parts off Terry , I even gave him a ring once , cause I was looking for tyco pre maid axle .. so when there were none Tyco he told me what viper wheels to by etc etc .. my point was then I get heavily into collecting cars ... way to expensive part of the hobby ... point being I really thought I would be more into what. you do .. yeah I need some more tools , but heck the money I have spent on TYCO cars compare to had I just bought a few cars , viper , super 7 ..heck I don't even know what all theses chassis are called ... so some cars, parts and tools it would be night and day money wise ... I have one of those scales but not sure how to build it as you have it ... Anyway I dont watch your channel enough to justify wining anything ..

    Mark, Excellent show! This is the direction I want to go into the hobby!! I’m going start fiddling and I figuring it out but eventually would like to get into car setups like you do. I’m Amazed at the tools like the dyno I’ve seen, your down force scale you use so much, gear and hub puller. So cool. When you were pulling the spring I immediately thought he needs a mini (coil over load machine) like a Dragon Slayer. Take that for what it’s worth. 😊 Definitely appropriate the video it got me super excited to get started!
