Nice video. I prefer a cordless Dremel tool for most operations. I do have a corded one for heavy duty operations. I have a smaller vice I bought at harbor freight that is awesome. I will definitely get a dental kit. Thanks for that idea.
I wouldn't mind finding some original Tycho tires that have that little. I wouldn't know what you caught would call it but in the center of it it had that little extra raise of the on the slick some. It was actually some pretty good tires
Thank you for posting the links. Very helpful!
Lots of Great tips in this video! Thank You!!! Keep them coming!
Thank you for the support! More customizing and racing is on the way
Great videos.
I'm having a very hard time soldering in new tycopro wiper pickups.
I'm new using an iron and Temps are a mystery to me.
Can you do a few videos on soldering those old tycos and removal / replacement of bulbs of the Aurora Tjet & AFX Flamethrowers?
ruclips.net/video/xVgtqN6UrkU/видео.htmlsi=IGNM69-Aqiwm3NTD
This video shows how I added lights to a tyco 440 chassis.
For soldering. Set the iron to about 400 deg. You want to tin everything you're going to solder. This is where you add flux to wires and whatever else is being soldered, then put some solder on the tip of the hot iron, and wipe it across the wire. The solder will flow into everything that has flux on it. Do the same for the other component you're going to attach the wire to. Now everything has solder on it, the wires and the other part they are going to be soldered to. Place the wire into the component and place the iron onto the wire for a few seconds. All of the solder will melt together into 1 joint. Remove the iron and blow on the joint once or twice.
Would you car to show a video on how to use the wheel and hub puller/install and the other special tools? Thanks
Sorry, I sold the tools about 1 year ago. But I see others have videos on RUclips covering it
@@StockpileHobbies thank you my friend
Great content. Very informative!
Almost at 400 subs. Way to go!
Thank you. Subscribers... the struggle is real!
Great video. So helpful and the inclusion of the links is tremendous. Thank you. Revisiting the youth of the 1970s and just getting restarted with this hobby. Appreciate getting expert advice and doing things right.
I wouldn't call myself an expert, but it is much appreciated! Let me know if you have any questions in the future, and good luck!
@@StockpileHobbies Will do. I'm a bit nervous about utilizing the laptop power supplies to run the track (only because I'm used to the old TYCO set ups I remember as a kid)--don't want to trash any of my old cars. But, my goal is to build a 5' x 12' slot car table and I need the appropriate power.
@@richdavino7356 Get the laptop adjustable charger and pigtails. I've been using 4 of them for over a year now. I run 18 volts for the race track lanes and 24v for the dragstrip lanes. 0 issues. The new auto world cars need to be at 24v on the race track to keep up with the old tyco cars. The entire channel is built on them doing the job
@@StockpileHobbies how big is your layout? I’m trying to figure out how many pairs I will need. Thanks for the help
@@richdavino7356 You will need 1 power supply for each lane. If the track is too long you'll notice the cars lose speed at the portion that is furthest away from the source. This is when you would need to run a power tap. I have videos on all of this, as mine needed it. Its not length so much as it is the number of joints/connections/pieces of track. 1 long piece is better than 2 or 3 short ones.
Fiberglass scratch brush pen is great for cleaning shoes
I've never heard of this. I'll check this out, thank you!
So many tools I need like dyno and gear pullers .hard to just wing it.
I didn't acquire all of these at once, but slowly over time it all piles up
Hey Steve I have a question I've been trying to order me some DR-1 chassis that the 4Gear bodies can fit on, but I need a few with the chrome wheels and a few with the white wheels but here's my problem when I get on the site to pick the ones that I want, I can't find a place to place my order
Just buy the black wheels and use this pen to make them chrome. It's what I use amzn.to/3ShltEz
Electronic lap timer?
Its currently for sale
Instead of that big bulky knife use a hobby knife you can get them at hobby lobby they look like a pen with a knife at the end is a razor.
Yes, I have an exacto knife but forgot to show it. I have one linked in the description.
