Inland Empire HO Raceway

Getting back to my red lane Mustang, I did an extensive amount of lightening and am working on clearance for the pickup shoes before I drill my body posts. I’m still going to add the clear resin windshield and rear window to each lane Mustang.

A few more pictures of the turquoise WizzJet. It wants to run and has a unique front end that’s fray legal. This has a balanced 16+ ohm armature, RT-HO top plate gears, Gogo crown gear from the archives.

Worked on a turquoise Wizz Jet chassis. Very fast and smooth after all of the preparation. Click on the pictures.

I whooped this mule into shape testing my balanced armatures, good times!
I tightened the armature holes 🕳️ a bit and may have created a bit of resistance so I’ll use a .0640” gauge pin to open the tight hole up.

I trued the stacks on these armatures and cleaned up the commutators. I’ll throw each one on a poising tool and get them balanced. Then I can check the rpm and get them categorized.

Exercising my right to bear and balance arms

More set up of the Mercedes as well as lightening. It was more difficult with a black resin material. I’m about ready to add a windshield in the morning.

Setting up the Mercedes next. Starting to get it down in the empire.
