Great video! Thank you
Marcus! Que bom te ver! Hugs from Br
Awesome info ! I’ve been learning Alott
Thank you for your interest! Glad we could help.
Cool weekend video bro
Great tutorial, thanks for sharing!!!!!!
Your welcome!
Well done - WestRock approves!
Nice work lads.
Glad you enjoyed it
Possibly stupid question (havent soldered metal pieces like that). Based on my experience with wiring i was taught that the material has to be properly hot to accept the solder. What keeps these solder joints from separating like a classic cold solder?
Honestly you couldnt glue your pinion on, or set your own gear mesh? Serriously?!
Glad to see brushless in slot cars.
My first thought was to want to tig weld the motor mount but soldering would probably be just fine . it doesn't experience the kind of force necessary to need a Tig weld .
Solder works good for it. No need for overkill.
And Where did you buy the screw in mount that you soldered in?

An additional benefit to the braiding, other than looks, we used it to prevent interference with RC radios back around 2005-2010, No issue here of course, but it might can interfere with the computers so maybe a benefit there
I have been a slot car guy since the 1990's and in the middle 2k's when brushless took over RC cars, i was hoping someone could figure out the slotcar side of it. I saw someone playing with castle Phoenix esc's in slots, was that you guys? I see you have your own esc now, is it castle based?
BTW have you tried brushless Inrunners? i would think the outrunners would get gummed up with tire dust and possibly track glue. very messy to clean up
Thank you for your interest! We started with a flashed Castle Creations Talon25 in slot drag cars in 2014 with success. There are many esc’s on the market now for road course use.
@@brushlessslotcarracing, Was not aware of other brushless esc's, other than the talion yours were the first i seen. are yours adjustable through firmware or is it simple Plug (or solder in) and play?
@@crazylarryjrTalons are adjustable for drag racing, they don’t work well on the road course. Here is a link to brushless components. kcracing.net/Brushless-Parts/
wow! this popped up on my RUclips. I know nothing about slot cars! I watched the whole video ,it is very interesting . Are they really that fast? How do they not fall off? how expensive is this hobby? What would a car cost? Thanks.
Thank you for your interest! Yes they are fast! No motor maintenance either. The downforce of the body helps keep them in the slot.
You can find everything to build a brushless slot car here kcracing.net. Checkout the other video’s on our channel for more brushless slot car information.
@@brushlessslotcarracing thank you! I have subscribed! I will check it out!
What kind of a coast do you get on a brushless motor. When the truck turns off?
They roll a good way if you keep the trigger pulled. A brushed car will roll farther that way too. They do have very good braking depending on the hand controller adjustments.
Im bummed that i got food poisoning and couldn't try one out during the state race
Where can I buy a brushless motor? Will also need to buy speed controllers. All I can find is ebay.
Please
I run Hawk 7's and Hawk 9 motors now. What brushless is comparable? 48k-58k RPM
kcracing.net has all the components for sale. A 4500kv 1106 brushless motor should work. Thank you for your interest!
Can these motors bolt in to a Cheetah 21 chassis without using a bracket?
It would be best to use one of the many motor brackets available.
The bolt pattern on the motors is different than a brushed motor.
You mean Locktite is enough to keep pinion on when motor gets hot?
Hello thank you for your interest! Yes Locktite is more than enough, the motors don’t get hot at all when geared the right way.
We just ran a race and put between 1800 - 1900 laps on them. No pinion failure.
@@brushlessslotcarracing I assume you do know brushed motors can get very hot in comparison depending on class and gearing but typically they get very warm in 3 minutes.
@@miners_treasures We have a video posted on this channel of an endurance race on a 130 Hillclimb.
The heats were 7 1/2 minutes long with a change lane/driver and go!
All 8 cars finished and no problems with the brushless setups or gears.
@brushlessslotcarracing Enduro sounds fun! Where is brushless stuff being sold? I'm into RC so I am familiar with brushless motors but not slots stuff yet.
@@miners_treasures Brushless slot cars are different than r/c cars….We purchased all the componets from kcracing.net
He is a one stop shop for esc’s ,motors(with screws) and brackets to make a brushless slot car move!
Good luck on your brushless venture!
how much to build one out the door
Contact P1 Raceway for that information. Ballpark figure $160-180 ready to run.
What pitch gears are you using?
13x33 64 pitch
@brushlessslotcarracing In the video you say 11/37, is this also 64p?
Thanks for the info.
@@joemaxey2 that’s the gears on that car….they run better with 13x33
@@brushlessslotcarracing what size tires?
@@brushlessslotcarracingI did pick up a 4.5K to try. I've been running a 6.5K. I'm digging the brushless stuff.
It's come a long way from Parma Womp Womps and D16 motors....
The brushless components can be put in a lot of different chassis with the brackets available.
There’s no need to grind on the chassis to get a good solder joint and the leadwire on those cars looks like a bowl of spaghetti.
What a mess.
I’ll put some brushless cars together when chassis designed for them are available.
What about a mosetti edition marcos? Cost
Mark thank you for your interest. You would have to contact P1 raceway for further information about a ready to run car.
