RE: Whats on your bench ... - Grah1 - 11th-Oct-20

Currently   testing  a  bunch  of  low  rpm   motors  from Ebay 
So  far   this  is  the  best of the  bunch ,rated   at  12k @12v  seems  to  be  an NC 1/NC8  equivalent 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MABUCHI-FK-130SH-12290-DC-3V-6V-9V-12V-12000RPM-High-Speed-Micro-Mini-130-Motor/254737309166?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Acceleration seems  a  little  better   and  so  far  its  been reliable  after 1000 laps  testing .
On my  track   with  its  aprox 3mtr straight  it   pulls out  a  car  length  over  my  best  NC1 from a  standing  start . 
And  at  1.81  whats  to loose ?

This  current  one  is  excellent   abie but  if  your  looking for  something  a  little  faster   try  these

They  are    like  an NC2  but  smoother   and  very  driveable   They  run at  about  18k  on 12v  I  have  one in a  slot  it   Audi   geared  at  9/30  and its   very  quick  ,there  is  a  bit  of   magnetic  down force   too a  very  impressive cheap  motor

Will definitely import a few - of various kinds - well worth the testing  - thanks so much for the link and heads up.

I'm very impressed by the supplier I  wrote giving  specific  requirements  and  they  came  back  with a  few  options  including  one  which    I'm pretty  sure  is  the slot devil  36k  long  can at   less  than a  quarter  of  the  price  ,and  that  screams   but  is  also  drivable .

I'm always looking for odd and interesting kits to build for the future. Here are a few recent finds from the used market.

These kits just arrived through the postal service.

It's fun converting static models into slot cars. I know what I will be doing over the winter now.

Things are quiet benchwise this week as I'm in building mode again. Our lounge has a new ceiling and I'm up five metre towers painting the damned thing - the ceiling slopes up to a mezzanine section.

One thing I have done is build a new chassis for the 24th scale Tyrrell. It had a Dynamic chassis but it was one of the flexible things that never did work properly. Even with the suspension locked up, I just couldn't get it to handle. The Mabuchi 270S just overwhelmed it for a start even though it's the slower of the two I bought recently. So it's a proper brass chassis with crap solder joints!!  Must tidy them up.

Goes pretty well now and there is more traction which makes for an easier drive. Still not as fast as the Spazzaneve that Anthony is not going to get

I don't know much about chassis's, but I do know you climb up a scaffold tower inside the legs and through a hatch in the platform in order to eliminate the risk of it toppling over. Is that how it is set up?
