Magnatraction chassis rebuild and hop up. 

Thanks Lonnie! The Magnatraction chassis was the chassis I used the most as a kid, still have some of mine from the 70's. It will always hold a special place in my heart.

Thanks!

Thanks Tim, yeah it seems to run well and had very little wobble in the arm.

Thanks Chris! Glad you found it helpful.

Thanks! I have a VRP Dyno on order, it shipped out last Friday, can't wait to get it.

@@marksslotcargarage Awesome tool, You will be super happy with it. Question, What volts do you like to run your track at?

I usually run it at 18.5 volts unless I have younger kids racing then I turn it down...lol

Thanks!

Yeah that is a good combo, I have a bunch of mine setup that way.

Thanks Mayor! Chat with you tonight.

Thanks Tom.

Yeah I have some orings but I don't prefer them to the thicker front tires.

Thanks!

Thanks Shawn, yeah I wanted to keep them as close to stock as possible.

@@marksslotcargarage oh okay copy that I have a lot of them too stock and soup. And some super 2

Thanks Chris, I will be on the look out for your video.

@@marksslotcargarage I did mention that you were looking for racers down there, hope that’s ok.

@@Blueridgeracing859 yeah that's fine, I appreciate that.

Hey Rick! You going to rebuild a few Magnatraction?

I have a NC-2 on the way, I also already have a NC-2 GT. I was going to compare them to a Bulldog SRT. I should get to compare them sometime this week.

@@marksslotcargarage You are reading my mind:) Awesome. The NC-2's, RS-6 are short wheel base cars that are mainly the same design, with the RS-6 body mounts adjusted for the newer 1.5" AFX cars. The PR-5 is a longer wheelbase Mega G replacement clone. They all should run about the same since the motors are the same I believe and long with N30 Traction magnets.

I got lucky and got that off eBay at a decent price. It came on a Magnatraction chassis, think I got it for $35.

I have, HCSlots has the same Pro 7 magnets as Viper. I ordered a pair from Jag hobbies that are 1500 gauss that I am going to compare.

@@marksslotcargarage interested to see that. I recently also tried the lvl 7 magnatraction mags from Viper on 2 chassis. I also replaced the front and rear rims with the BTO repros from SlotcarCentral. runs like a different car. but I had issues with pickup shoes, most of them would eventually stick up and stop contacting the rail. still trying to figure out, went with 2 pairs of old silver original slim pickups for now. but I was surprised to run into a pickup shoe issue.

The 1500 Gauss from Jag are much stronger than the Pro7 from Viper or HCS, at half the price for $3.50 a pair they are a great deal. I am going to do a video today on them.

@@marksslotcargarage did you run into any issues with the pickup shoes stickup up?

@@marksslotcargarage looking forward to your review of the 1500 gauss Jag mags. I have almost picked them up several times lol. I don't think I need anything stronger than the lvl 7, so I am interested to see how it works for you on the viper track.

Thanks Kevin, I appreciate that.

No, none of the SRT parts will fit a Magnatraction.

There is no pit kit for Magnatraction cars, you just need to order individual parts you need. You can get pickup shoes, springs and basic tune up parts for the Magnatraction chassis from viperscaleracing.com, hcslots.com or jaghobbies.com to name a few.
