Do you have a race date set? Been scanning the post and all I see is around Nov. 1. Is there still time to get in on the fun?

[ourwayband]

The track is set at 12.0 volts and is 55' long before the shorted shut down area.
I think the issue we saw may have been related to the shear number of runs we made in a short amount of time? But thought it was worth sharing. :)
Either way though, we will have that car repaired and ready to do battle before the transport rolls out. :)
(I took advantage of the 30 cars for $23 deal on eBay - so I have LOTS of spares! :D )

very nice cars and videos!
i wonder about that melted motor - i ran artin on my street course for extended times with added magnets (at 12V) - but this did not happen once. Burnt some of the brushes (eh, copper strips), but not melted anything

[TuscoTodd]

I am not sure if it is due to how we were loading the motor(s) with the high amps, high traction, instant on throttle effect, the amount of time (55 feet) at wide open 12v combined with the heavy braking zone loading or?
But that one definitely burnt the brushes and melted the comm - coasting to a stop half way through what started off as a strong run.
After that though, we made it a point to avoid repeated "back to back" runs figuring additional cooling time definitely couldn't hurt. :D

the only time that I recall doing a melt down like that,I had ordered some green endbell motors from Frank down at SLOTCAR WORLD but we were running at 18 volts on a 60 ft. road coarse,and it melted some of the endbell,the GREEN ENDBELL MOTORS were a little hotter motor than the stock ARTINS

Quick shot of the cars from the TuscoTodd camp(all stock class) staged getting ready to load in the transporter yesterday... :)
