Denatured alcohol will not wash off grease. Grease is a hydrocarbon. White spirit or lighter fluid would be more appropriate. I don't own any HO cars. Why don't you true up tyres like 1/32 and 1/24 scale ?

Interesting video. I personally do not like to use a dremel tool for car reconditioning. I find a dremel to be a little too aggressive. Pencil erasers work well on armatures and are not as aggressive. High grit sandpaper or emery cloth works well on the pick up shoes and generally makes them flat to the track.

Hi, one more question, did you solder the cooper tape together under the track, or just use a screw to hold them.... ? Thanks Sean

Hi, I'm building basically the same track as you, I just have a few questions, how many spots did you power tap ? I was thinking of doing just two right before each straight away. My track is 18'x8' Thanks Sean

Depends who you ask but if you’re talking new retail I’d say 1/32 has the most options available. HO only has a handful of manufacturers.

Fun video. Takes me back to my teenager days! Thanks for all the detail. I’d forgotten about the shoe shaping - nice touch. Those magna-tractions designs were kinda complicated. Maybe show a G-plus car too. Another idea - compare AFX to Tyco innards. Until then, cheers!

@BartBade4 ай бұрын
That circular ring you were trying to get rid of happens when the car powers up. Centrifugal force makes the gear want to fly off. Without the chassie strap it would. You cant stop that friction thats why theres usually a drop of oil on the top gear or in your case a light grease. Love the T-jet/ AFX CARS, I have about 140 cars and trucks and a NOS cases of T-Jet chassies from long Island. I have so much crap im just up in the air as far as selling it, i have no where to set it all up anymore.

The thing with any slot car set is that the controllers are usually junk. The thing with the newer mega g+ cars is that they need higher whatts to run and a higher OHM controller than most 1:64 scale cars. The mega g+ cars are usually a bit faster than other brands of the same scale. Unfortunately, if you have a set that is set up for the mega g+ cars, you can only run those cars. If you want to run other cars that are not mega g+, you will need a variable current adapter and a different OHM controller. The AFX set is considered a starter set to keep the price down, and additional parts are sold separately. The turn border walls may look better in the Auto World set, but they do not stay that well in place when a car hits it. The AFX fence is a bit better as it works. The tracks themselves may look a little different, but only cosmetic as the tracks for both sets are molded from the same molds in China, and the Auto World track just has some exterior paint. Also both tracks will connect together. Auto World, in general, is better than AFX. The Auto World set, since it is packaged better and comes with the supports does cost a bit more than the AFX set. As a side by side comparison, the video was neat, but it is like comparing apples to oranges, as both sets are similar as they are both nascar style tracks in the 1:64 scale but both kits are different enough that yes the Auto World set is more complete but the AFX set is sold as a starter set as the supports, track clips, etc... are sold separately to keep the cost down.

Not sure where this comment is coming from as this video is about an Autoworld slot car and has nothing to do with mega g+ cars or afx/auto world track. The track in this video is a mix of new style afx race masters and Autoworld track. You do have your facts backwards though. Autoworld sets are significantly cheaper then the afx race masters sets. This track was powered buy a afx wall pack with 120ohm controllers and we ran everything from tjets to mega g plus cars.
