Hi Mark.....Adam Hurte sent me ... off of Pro Tinker s livestream. Nice Channel ... new to the hobby but I,m not a Youngster lol see ya round Jim. haven't delved into Viper or Jag DR1... yet. I can see you are deep into the hobby by seeing your tools , testers ... see ya
I've seen them race in Cincinnati over the past couple of year. The Wizzard Fusion has outperformed the Viper Spec Racer hands down at every race. It literally needs to be in a separate class from the Viper Spec Racer. At least that's the information I am hearing out of Ohio. I'm a Kentucky racer myself. I have no dogs in the fight.🤷🏾♂️
Yeah we see the same thing, I started with Vipers but could not compete against the Fusions, once I moved to Fusions I did much better. We still have a few guys that run Vipers but not many. I would like to see a Viper only class as well, maybe I could get some use out of my Vipers then...lol Thanks!
I would say even thou the fusion turn the most 2.5s and even a 2.4, it lost due to several de-slots as compared to zero for the Viper pro spec car, lol 😂. Also, great point about the prices. Wizzard could sell more cars if they could improve on the price. Never heard back on the mega g + motor mod? Take care and keep up the good videos
I think some tweaking could probably shave off the difference between the custom Fusion and the hot Viper so honestly I can't see how the price of the fusion can be justified. And, just from looking at the two chassis closely, it's obvious to me that the molding of the Viper product is more crisp and sharply defined. Gives me the impression that the material the Viper is molded from is a higher quality material even with the lower price point. You are getting good times on that Viper track.
Here is a fun project, saw this on rooster racing. Let me just say that every time I do a paste and copy here, it doesn't stay posted on RU-vid, that is why you can't see or find my 3 posts on this subject. Back to the project. Can the Mega G+ be made to outrun a $45.00 Viper V-1 V-spec with only around $10.00 worth of hop-up parts? This racer ordered an FK-N20 mini drone motor (less than $2), same size as mega G+ N20 but with over 32,800 rpms at just 3.7v and almost 44,000 at 5v. Again, it's the FK-N20 with large cooling hole in the metal motor case. (I would double check the armature shaft length) He also doubled stacked N52 traction magnets and added .450 silicone tires out back. He claims that this car will eat a $45 Viper V1 slot car. Sounds like a fun project that I thought you might would be interested in. So, the question is, can the Mega G+ really be made to outrun a V1?
Someone else just posted the same thing. I saw this same guys post on Rooster Racing and even commented on it. I may have to give this a try and see how fast the car really is with the FK-N20 motor. Thx.
I considered getting one of these but i couldn’t commit to another chassis and parts to support it … and I need 2 to run on my track if others come over lol 😂 so for $300 I can build a few vipers … I do like the chassis tho
@@johnrivard2857You really can't compare the AFX Mega G Plus to the Viper or Fusion, they are far superior. Next step up from AFX would be Bulldog or Jag, they are a good balance of performance and cost. The Base Viper VSPEC would be next after them.
Hi MSCG..if you don't like building buy one(only)the price is depreciated by the amount of fun you have. So do wizards cars use a body clip system to run different manufacturers bodies?
Definitely if you have the budget go for it. I did not see the value of the Fusion compared to a similar spec Viper at half the cost. As far as I know there is no body clip for the Fusion.
I think its just like real racing. How fast do you want to go? How much money do you have? lol. All it takes is cubic dollars. It was interesting. Your test procedures are solid. Thats one heckova thud when those things come off. Ouch! 👍👍😎🇺🇸

Used my other RU-vid name to try and post this. Looks like "myflash43" earlier post stayed up to now? Any way, sorry for the extra post. Slotcarjames43 and myflash43 are both mine.
