Well I can't sleep, as usual, so not knowing when my rocket motor order will be here( supposed to be by the 21st) and wanting to be within the rules, I took the brushes off the PN50T and put them in the PN70T that had brush problems ^. It had to have been a bad brush, as when I put the new/used brushes in the 70T it came to life! It runs much faster and stronger compared to the last set of brushes. It went from running at 100% throttle D/R and holding full throttle most the way around this layout on bad brushes to 85% throttle d/r and just blipping full throttle in the straights with good brushes.
Before putting in the new brushes I cleaned it with motor spay, and a fine silver powder poured out! So I cleaned the motor well and polished the com, added a drop of Bachman's, and it's a ripping 70T again!
I also tried 0W rears on the MX-5, and they hit on 1 side since I have the body sitting a little lower than factory side clip height. SO -1W rear wheels will be what I can run. I ordered a set of Reflex Speed wheels in -1.5W rear wheels to try, as most Kyosho wheels don't run very straight/ have a slight wobble, and the rear is bouncy enough!
It runs great on both Narrow and Wide rears with no changes needed when I switched, so running in the Narrow Class and Porsche/MX-5 class is very do-able! Or if we get enough to run a MX-5 Class, even better! I don't know how the RX7 drives, but the MX-5 drives great and is very light!
Current layout is a FUN change from the last layout. It's very satisfying when you wrap the fast section and hit the hairpin at perfect speed and it surprises you how fast it goes through that section!
Thanks Traveler2 for keeping this going and to all how have helped me with these Awesome R/C's!
