This car started as a hand-picked, fast running open rivet, stock
T-jet chassis.
Mods include:
AFX style 'windows' cut into the chassis to reduce weight and help
cool the arm.
Radically cut gearplate to reduce weight and again help arm cooling.
Silver T-jet pickup shoes.
AG&G brushes.
AG&G 'quadra-lam' clone armature, 5 degrees advanced for higher
top end.
JL Magnets, lightly sanded to fit chassis.
RT-HO CNC machined idler and driven gears to help lower center of
gravity, and to reduce rotational mass. Gears have also been polished, beveled, and lapped.
AJs vintage threaded rear axle, aluminum rims from a vintage set of 'spongies' (old nasty
dired up sponge tires removed) with Wizzard (?) soft silicone Tuff Ones slip on rear tires.
AJs vintage threaded front axle, 'Raider' aluminum front wheels and o-ring front tires.
Front wheels are centered on the chassis using two AFX brush springs between the wheels
and the chassis.
