Yes, great article!

Glad you liked the old beast.

Our own Mark Thomas of Derby City is one of the guys that showed me these cars can and will run good if you just take a little time with them.

Thanks for the comments and allowing me to send the car in for a test run.

Oh, before you box it up, take a flat tip and pop off that magnet holder. You can snap it out from the bottom without removing the motor and such. When we talked earlier, I forgot that.

Then you can get a taste of how it runs here on the wood.

Again, thanks...this was cool :)

Enjoyed reading that! Lots of great tips to make a bad car into a good runner and the photos were helpful and laid out well.
Knowing what to do prevents misses on tuning and that saves time and $$$. Great article done in the American hot rod tradition of low dollar performance. Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you guys found this helpful.

Harry- I couldn't get the magnet pod off. It looks like one of the clips was ground off in order to allow the NSR gear to clear, so could it have been glued on? The one on my car came right off. Rather than hack away with the flat end of a screwdriver, I figure it best to just box it up and send it on back as is. I already learned a lot from it and have begun reworking mine. Thanks again.

bibbster- Thanks, but I can't take credit for the lighting in the photo. That's all Mother Nature's work! I just opened my window, set the cars, and clicked. :lol:
