what i loike about Carrera brand is they made many toy cars with beautiful printings / design / decals. I hope 1/32 scale diecast company also make like what Carrera did. :-D
IMO, trimming the motor shaft is completely ridiculous. The stock setup has a polished metal shaft with very little contact area rubbing against nylon, which is very low friction in itself. The resistance is almost immeasurable. Replacing that with spacers made from CA glue that have more surface area rubbing against bronze bushings will create more resistance than the stock setup.
Thanks, can you check whether Carrera will update their software for the fuel feature for controllers 5&6 so the app smart race can utilise accordingly
You broke my heart by turning the tires around. :( I just bought a car and I had a hard time to choose between the body livery I really really like, with "carrera" tyres OR the body livery I like with hankook tyres.... Next time I swap the tyres with you! :D
Lets take a perfect car and ruin it! That's this video. Insane madman! The WHOLE POINT OF INSTALLING MAGNETS is so their brand of product can create the feeling of great Corning ability, pure speed, smooth handling, etc.. If you're going to RIP OUT THE COMPONENTS OF SOMEBODY ELSE'S BUSINESS, then just man up about it and go away from carrera product and invent your own cars and business and STOP TRYING TO DESTROY SOMEBODY ELSE's life. Leave the establishment product alone, and piss off!
I always trim the motor shaft, it allows different pinion diameters and with brass axle spacers you can set gearmesh perfectly when you change the crown gear. However, you're using the standard push fit crown gear so it makes no sense whatsoever to cut the motor shaft as you're also using push fit wheels, I can understand if you used alloy wheels and aftermarket crown but you've created a lot of work for zero gain, in actual fact it's probably going to run worse as superglue will wear away. If you must cut the motor shaft you'd be much better fitting split plastic washers over the axle to take up axle slop. Removing the magnet and adding ballast is the racers choice.
When the rules state that you must use stock parts, this works well. If there was no gain, we wouldn’t do it. I am happy that I could help you fill your free time.
Most other “tuners” seem to want to keep the weight of the car very similar to stock, does adding what appears to be a significant amount of lead ( in the correct place ) give a definite advantage , have your fellow racers cars followed your thinking ?
It's cheaper to just throw your money in the trash can! Butchered carrera slot cars are worthless in the future. If you want to modify, you're also agreeing to buy 6 units of each model car you decide to buy. If you buy less than 6 cars of the same model, then you're classified as being something else. Such as a 'consumer' who ends up with NO investment in the game, and no products which actually work 20 years from now, etc... Etc... You haven't bought in ENOUGH QUANTITY to be able to start modifying cars. Middlemen have been robbing you for decades already, its time you wise up and realise you can't afford this game and the future heartache you'll get from your modded old things game. If you want the faster car, YOU BUY THE NEXT MODEL NEXT YEAR!
@@drsaleen88 Bruce, You use to have "tuned" cars on your website for sale at one time. Are you no longer doing this? I could see where it would be hard to guess what car someone would want with the "tune" option. It would be cool if, when we order a slot car from you, we could specify different tune options to add to the car. Sort of tuning à la carte. Thanks for all your how to videos... great stuff!
Are you sanding out the actual dimples in the wheels or just excess plastic? Seems if you sand out the dimples itself taking a lot of material off and would need different tires?
It's NOT nice AT ALL! You wouldn't know what day of the week it was! The fact is, there is NO END to this vid makers insanity! Every car he gets his hands on, according to him, has numerous problems with it. Why would a sane person give themselves the job of 'correcting 100 factory stuff ups'? There's NOTHING WRONG with the cars out of the factory. We DONT NEED add-on sales morons! I've heard this CRAP ABOUT rebuilding the perfect slot car each time you buy a slot car, for the last 40 years. ENOUGH ALREADY! Shut up! I think we've heard it all before! You're just an ENDLESS REPEATING ROBOT. there's enough SILVER WHEELS ON THE PLANET! Allow some other color to be put on car wheels! I'm sick and tired of 'every car must have silver wheels' theory! Shut up about every slotcar is crap out of the factory and you know better! Piss off!
See, just look at the insane humans you've created! Leave carrera alone and just go away! All you're doing is pushing up the value of UNTOUCHED CARRERA PRODUCT. haven't you learned how the value of perfect condition cars ALWAYS GO WAY UP IN VALUE. Full size or scaled down version. Nobody is gonna pay you money for your butchered slot car in the future. The more you keep talking, the more my bank account goes up!
Cause you loose your investment value and joe from down the road laughs at you cause he sold his perfect condition slot car for $30,000 and your butchered version is worthless.
Cincyslots Slot Cars I really enjoyed your craft and precision. Well done and thanks for sharing. Oh...and that tool doesn’t know what he’s talking about, lol.
