Thank you Chris,

always finding more aspects to the hobby and still enjoying the voyage of discovery.  I guess I am currently very bad at winding as with my current level I can not imagine being able to get 65 turns.  A target to aim for!

The next step is going to be seeing how this car runs at the club track - my track is currently tore down as I go into a rebuild with smaller footprint.  First step is rebuilging my tables smaller and a little prettier.  Anyways I digress.  Will be at the club track today to test it out.  I am not expecting great things for a 2nd attempt, especially if 45 turns is an aggressive motor and the club track is short.

So a general question.  When people are doing slot car drag races, would they normally be winding their own motors?  I am assuming this is the case but finding information about how people prepare their cars for racing is a little challenging.  I guess for a reason :)

I have some 0.19mm wire on the way for the next attempt.  I figured half way between the 2 sizes tried so far will be a happy medium.

Slot car motors and parts are hard to come by here.  I can get Plafit motors at the club but that is it.  Any other motor I have was shipped by Pendles from the UK.  If I can get better at rewinding I can take advantage of the parts from the Tamiya Mini 4wd market here - at least to my way of thinking.
