AFX Mega G Plus Circuit Board Bypass 

Thanks Scott, I guess you could come up with a way to glue in the hangers for the shoes, that's why I left the board in since they are soldered to it. I did not see any real performance improvement so I would not rush out to do it on a good working car.

Thanks James.

Thanks Shawn.

Sir did you remove the circuit board completely and get the cars running again ? If yes could I get you to do some of my chassis ? If know do you know who or where I can get my chassis with the circuit board removed and with the shoe hangers remounted and back up and running I'm striking out I can't find nobody to work on these chassis for me ?

Any time!

I have seen them, may have to give that a try. Thanks!

Thank! Glad it helped.

Thanks! I run everything from TJets to Vipers and Fusions, the Mega G Plus are ok, they have some nice bodies.

Actually I run with several clubs around my area and many of them race Mega G and other inline chassis. So to be accurate, I should have said "I prefer" flat motors. I guess because I have been working on them for so long. This is my 60th year as a "slot car" guy and have loved every minute. Thanks again for the info.@@marksslotcargarage

I did, not much of a difference, I would not do it as a way to get better performance.

Thanks Shift, it does not seem to help with performance so I would not do it on a good working car.

That little motor is very commonly used. In a variety of applications. I don't know the specs for it but a few people have bought batches of them and some worked okay, some didn't. Likely someone will eventually be selling replacements. Guessing it hasn't happened already because they are just cheap crappy little motors. Maybe somebody will come up with a batch that are an actual upgrade and then it might be worthwhile.

And someone else posted that Jag Hobbies is offering motors.

Looks like Jag hobbies does as others have posted.

I get my motors from jag hobbies. There only a few dollars. Easy to install too

​@@robertclark3113Could I get you to install the JAG Motors in my chassis please Sir ? Other things I'd like done is installing a 20 or 21 tooth crown gear ?

Thanks for stopping by!

LOL, thanks Shen RC!

Yes and no, on the Mega G plus there is actually a cut out in the chassis for the back of the crown gear, it does not run smooth in the other direction. On other chassis types yes you can just flip the rear axle. I actually tried on this car and was like why is this running so rough and discovered the notch, the Mega G Plus can really only run with the gear on the usual side.

Didn't know that! Probably because I have no interest in Mega G+ and don't own any but that's good info for anyone who does!

Any time Chris....thanks.

Yes but if you look closely at where the gear goes the side it should be in is actually a little wider and the gear runs smoother. There is actually a little cutout on the chassis of the Mega G Plus for the gear.

That's good to know that Jag sells the whole motor assembly with the pinion gear. Thanks for the info.

Genius, noooo lol

​@@marksslotcargaragewell, if the "average" person took a slotcar IQ test they would fail. Mark would score very high on that test. The key to solving any problem unless by accident is through understanding the problem. The better you understand the problem, the more likely it is that you will successfully solve it. "Genius" indicates the ability to learn. Has nothing to do with what you know. "Genius" means you have the ability to learn what you don't know. Seems you are pretty good at that so you are underestimating yourself Mark. Probably another indication of intelligence. Another excellent video!

@@jeffnorbert1871 Thanks Jeff, I appreciate that.

Do you mean the Mega G Plus? They don't really have a chip, the circuit board cuts down RF noise from what I read to comply with the FCC, that being said maybe it is interfering with the wireless controllers?

@@marksslotcargarage yes I don't have all the correct names of chassis down ...yes the new stuff ..Mega G plus . its gotta be that ( interference )thanks Mark

I am not aware of anyone doing it. I left the board in but disconnected the motor from the board. Why do you want to remove the board? There is no real performance improvement removing it from my testing.

Thanks!

Did not seem to make much of a difference in performance but it was a fun experiment on a car that did not run. Next video I do of any cars running I will get a few 440x2s going.

LOL, thanks that made me laugh.
