Wizzard Fusion vs Viper (Spec Racer Class)
👍🐟🐠good job
Thanks Mark!
So I built my first and second super three, Mark.. thanks for the instructional video. Biggest pain in the butt was the brush is getting those in with the springs, etc. but no problems with the clip and no problems or clips on ones that I bought probably just has to be snapped in there tighter or something. Not a big fan of auto world, but I wanted a challenge.
I am not an AW fan either but if you are on a budget they do get the job done. I am glad you found the video helpful. Thanks.
@ yeah I just thought that this might be a nice little challenge cause I’d really like to get to the AFX super G plus cars and see if I can care for those now pretty much the same set up. Gotta be careful with those car brushes, though they break easily. Thanks for your help Mark.
@@Snugster64 Do you mean the AFX G Plus? The Super G Plus uses and endbell like a Viper and has the brushes in the endbell. I was not a fan of the G Plus, it needed traction magnets...lol The Super G Plus is my favorite chassis, it is what the Viper is designed after.
@@marksslotcargarage yes my bad sometimes slips🤣🤣 and me too, was my fav.
@ I actually have 2 mega G’s both needing brush service. Very similar set up as Super 3. Brushes thru the brass cylinders to motor Shaft. I liked those more than the mega G plus’s with the can motor. Mods possible. I need to understand though how to get those brushes out they don’t look like they have set screws. Maybe you popped them out and then they fall out of the hole?
Caught plenty of large mouth but no peacock base. Guess I need to pay you a visit.
LOL, if you are ever in the West Palm area let me know.
I see these at HL for $19. Worth it, or save for Viper or other?
I am not a fan of them but others like them. I would pay a little more for a Jag or Bulldog.
You can't lip Peacock Bass like Largemouth???
They shake like crazy and will tear up your thumb. Sometimes you can but if they shake it hurts...lol
Aw yer killin me Mark - (looks out at 24 degrees and ice on my truck)
24, yuck....lol
Looks like fun
Always fun, thanks Mark!
Wow beautiful view Mark!!
Thanks!
Hook em through the eyes,that way thy can't see you fishing with them
Sweet,wish I was fishing too 🎣
Thanks Slotzzz!
Hey mark,, another cool video
Thanks John!
@marksslotcargarage ii always look forward to your videos buddy and thanks again for trying to win me a car st Scott's lol 😂😅 ooohhhh. Heeeellll yyeeaaa !!!!!
Thanks John!
Hi..Mark,i know you like running the plastic dust/dirt protecters on the endbell cars. I don't, I think more air flow will keep the endbell and engine a little cooler. Maybe test with your cool temp. Gun. Great racing today thanks😎
I don't run them either for the same reason, keeps the brushes cooler in my opinion. I ran them early on before I new better but have not run them in a while. Thanks
Smart,a clean track is important that's all. What about oversizing the holes thy cover,drill? That'd be fun to try😎
👍Hi Mark
Hi Mark, thanks for stopping by.
Hey Vinny
Vinny can't hear you....lol
Well, I missed another live stream apparently I will have to watch the rerun instead
You did not miss much, just Vinny and I today.
Sorry I missed ya Probably driving home then crashed in front of TV w/football lol .. hope you made out ok with your Race ... I watch this to see how you made out , also glad Mayor had some of your stickers so I grabbed two 👍 ... well at least you had that heat were you had best time before the car gave you trouble so would you say the armature took a crap sort of ..cause you said didnt ohm out the same or readings it should of been .. Watching and commenting again as I do Sorry lol .. yes many stops at Mayors with call button def an elaborate set up though Awesome .. ill shut up now hahahahah
LOL, thanks Jim
having fun
Yup, we miss you racing with us.
@@marksslotcargarage I HAVE DONE NO RACING
@rickschwartz2447 Well we are here when you are ready to get back on the track!
What is on your dremel to clean it up?
It's plastic with flexible teeth, you can get them from Viper. I use the blue color. Thx.
Vinny👍
Thanks for stopping by blue!
Hey mark missed the livestream better late than never 🏎️ zoom zoom
Thanks blue!
Il be honest. If I make the mega g plus stick to the track anymore il pretty much be able to hold the trigger wide open the whole time. Assuming 18v is what they should run on
Yeah, I run mine at 18.5, level 42 is the max I would go, you can't go all out with that setup. Stock level 30 with lower rear tires is also a fun setup, a little more of a challenge to drive.
Cool thx for th info. Yea to me if you never have to lift the trigger you aren't really driving and may as well have a model train lol
Thanks worked great for me on my track tha k you
Glad it helped, thanks for checking out my videos!
👍 Mark .Hope win 🏎
Thanks Mark!
Race fans hit that like button.
Thanks Kenton!
What arms do you run in your fray style cars? Thanks for sharing.
Hey Tim, They were not my cars, we ran two different kinds, one by Dash and they other was WizJets, I think they were in the 15 ohm range but will have to ask the guys who brought them. Thanks
Hi Mark
Hi to you as well, thanks for stopping by.
Hi Mark #3
Hi! Thanks for stopping by.
TWO SECONDS? 😮
You seem to be commenting on the wrong video? Thanks for stopping by.
Jack should ALWAYS WIN!
Not sure what Jack has to do with the Viasue lap counter, he is not even in this video but thanks!
Late to the game but I'm here.
Thanks for stopping by Kenton.
...another cool video pal, go AFX !!!
Thanks John, I appreciate that.
Go Tyco!
Don't get too excited, I am not a Tyco guy...lol Thanks for stopping by.
@@marksslotcargarage Thats o k . At least you have one or some. Back in the 90s,my 2boys and I raced in a club on Sundays. w,e raced magnatractions with BSRT balanced mean greens and quadralams, M cars (i was the first on my block to have one), super stock and unlimited Tycos. Tyco parts were a lot cheaper than A F X then. We slowly transitioned to Super gs but the kids grew up and the club disbanded. I still have what i raced but they have been sitting a while. I still tinker with all types from aurora to wizzard. I am 65 and refuse to grow up! Keep sharing and showing those neat videos!
@@timmccartney6078That's fun that you got to race with your boys. I still have Magnatraction cars from when I was a kid in the 70s, I still love running them.
Hey Mark I have been searching for a #22 as I am a big fan Joey Lagano. Where can I obtain one like the one in this tune up video, preferably one that fits with the regular clips on the S7?
Hey Snuggie, unfortunately I don't have a good answer for you. The bodies in the video are Lexan bodies, I don't see a 22 on any of mine? The yellow car is number 29. I got from Jay Jaap when he did a batch of bodies for sale. Not sure if anyone makes a hard body version.
OK Mark thanks for getting back to me. I appreciate it.
Love those Liveries ... was singing on in Garage with phone then it said there was an error and I was painting a wall down there didn't try to find your live after that , for that apologies .. Very sad to hear about surprise attack Tornadoes sad for some people , Glad You and your Family faired OK ...I do a lot on Sundays .. see ya around Mark
Thanks Jim! Yeah I had a problem with the first live feed and had to start a new one.
I have been using speed corners and homemade aprons for years. No guard rails against the track for me
Yeah that's the way to go for sure! Thanks for checking out my videos.
Terry Flynns PayPal went "cha ching! When you broke tab, been there! Lol
Yeah it happens...lol Thanks!
how many ft long is your track?
My AFX track which I took down was 4x10, I now have a 4x14 Viper track. Thanks!
@@marksslotcargarage how many actual ft of track?
It's been a while since I took down the AFX track, I think it was in the 40-45 foot range, my Viper track is 56 foot lap length.
@@marksslotcargarage thank you.
Ladies night 🎉🍹
It was a lot of fun with the ladies...lol Thanks Kenton!
Thanks for the great info especially when we have different tracks from HO to 143 to 132 to 124 lol-is there much out there on the market besides Defalco they can change the arms on the controller? Thanks 👍🏎️🏎️🏎️
You're welcome, thanks for checking out my videos. You can also check out OS3 controllers and TruSpeed.
Hey Mark hey this is Sean hey I hope you and your family are safe down there I don't know what part of Florida you're in I hope you're okay down there

Nothing wrong with a pink track in a ladies league....lol
@@marksslotcargarage Hehehe

Thanks Mayor, we had a blast!
Bo Port
?
Ive got an os3 lite on the way. Its to replace the terrible carerra go plunger controllers. Hopefully mine dosent squeak
I know several guys with the OS3 Lite, they all love them. If it does squeak a little contact lube solves the problem. Thanks!
2.4 3 wrecks $150 2.5 no wrecks $75 Fusion def didn’t perform better🤷🏽♂️ I’d say we def have a clear winner 🤷🏽♂️
The Fusion is the better handling chassis, for club racing you have to go Fusion is you want to compete. This is an older video, the $150 price was from a chassis builder, I would not pay that price I know how to build my own Fusions for around $100 bucks. It's more than a Viper for sure but worth the price with who well they handle. I am also a much better driver now than I was when I made this video...lol Thanks for watching.
Barely faster n 3 crashes. I’d say the wizard beat em all🤷🏽♂️
Yeah for the money the Wizzard Storm is a great buy. I don't run the car very often, I have moved on to racing at the club level running mostly Fusions. One thing I remembered about the Storm was the magnets were almost too strong, you can almost go full throttle and not come off. Thanks for checking out my videos!
there triggers fingers did not get tired
Nope, they did good...lol
They stay on the track better then the guys 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I noticed that as well....lol Thanks Mark
That was so cool watching the women race! What cars are they running? KeepThose great videos going!
Thanks Tim, we raced AFX Mega G Plus Ford GT's in that race.
