Well, I got an old banged up Super G+ to practice on and a G3 962 Chassis for transplant. Predictably the stock chassis cracked in short order and I did the swap along with a fresh tune up kit. This and Gary's videos were invaluable help, thank you. I had to trim the stock magnets in order to fit, and the fronts were dry rotted and disintegrating so I replaced them with some Jel Claws I was given. I have some BSRT, but I'll save those for race day, I also have some rears but I'll go on the stock stuff as I learn, then start replacing as things wear out. I see there's quite a few things to be done in the future, and traction mags are a big step. Thanks.
Just a question. Since you built and fast car why didn't you choose to use a ball bearing end bell and a bearing on the rear of the armature. That would place the armature on bearings instead of bushing? Do the bearings hold up well with low ohms armatures? Any heat issues effect the bearings. Also I have seen silver plated end bells with bearings. I don't race G plus, but I like the design of the chassis for a magnet cars. I only run T jet & afx chassis.
+thunderbolt427 Thanks for the question. Bearing don't add much if anything on the factory based armatures. Plus, bearing don't fit the shafts. Bearings only offer a benefit on custom armature with a slightly smaller shaft. Also, most clubs that run national rules do not allow bearings in the 6 ohm classs super stock cars.

Awesome! Viper components look pretty cool, and insanely fast. Thanks
Hi HCS.. great video, thanks for the lesson😎

Very cool! Still have my Tiny mega g cars and this video was instructive!
Didn't realize you could tune them to run at the scale speed of sound, holy crap
Great info ! Thx.
Where can i get a setup block like yours...and what exactly would I use it for. tia

Can I buy the pinion and setup block tools somewhere??
+rgf425 Try Scale Engineering for those.
my jaw hit the floor when i seen the blurrrr of this car running ....
How much power volts and amps is this car taken on that track ?
Cool. Ever thought about constructing a 4 wheel drive ho scale slot car?
I see them used on offer up for 120$ is it worth it?
Do you sell modified slot cars? Or know where I can purchase them?
What does "RTR" mean?
Ready to race
