Not many people in this world today, would make that kind of an offer. You, personally. make SCX look good. You are to be commended. Not to mention also the fact that you are a great photographer and a real asset to the hobby in general and several websites which I frequent. Greg Last Edited By: slider2 05/15/08 02:45 AM.

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	This January my club (Shoreline Model Raceways) hosted the Northeast SCX Challenge. The event was run on two tracks at one time over a two day period. I believe that there were six cars for each of the two classes that were run with two cars for each class being backups. The cars were in constant use between the practice time and the racing with no failures. We run non-magnet at 10 volts. It might be a good idea to avoid free running these motors at maximum voltage. It looks as if it would be nice if they had epoxy on the windings like all 1/24th commercial raceway motors have.

Thanks Dave, I will keep everybody posted on what's going on with these. I mean for the amount of cars SCX sells, I feel they're really an underestimated manufactor for what someone gets who's really budget minded (which I am!). They make great products and the cars are well enough detailed that make them worth what they're sold for. If I could've put it any better than what slider2 said, I would Mr. Kennedy. You as well have my deepest appreciation for the comment and thought alone! I have looked at the after-market pod for SCX for the other motors and, I am looking at that as that Peugeot 908 HDI is just begging for a Slot-it or NC-5 motor! Matthew Shelf queens...I've heard of those, but I bought it to race it, not look at it.

Did that to a Dome Judd a few years back and you're right! That was a fun car. I'm kinda sorry I sold it at a swap meet. That was the same car that blew a motor. The problem, as I later figured out, was that one of the brushes had cracked. I contacted SCX in Spain and asked for a replacement because there was no U.S contact at the time -- at least none that I knew about. To my complete surprise, I got an answer and a new motor. I was sold! 50s

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Well, for my own home racing 2 SCX's vs. 1 Fly... well you can guess which route I take. SCX's have just been a positive purchase for me and like I said, will continue to buy their new releases, because I have a black Subaru that's looking very tempting right now from them!

I'll go until Saturday and see what happens. Of course maybe these are coming from overseas? So maybe it'll take awhile?
