Ok and just to make sure its stock thunder jet cars and doorslammers only. Xtraction stock is later in the year with the grassers. I read the rules and kinda lost on the stock thunder jet rules. the other I got ok. I picked up a few other thunder jet chassis will post pics here soon of them to make sure they can be ran and also make sure the arms are ok.

One of the chassis has an arm with red green copper wire with black ends, two has copper wire and olive green ends, one has red wire and black end and the last one has green wire and red ends. Here are the chassis. Cant get a good pic of the arms.    One chassis is goin to be my gasser car. |

Taz, not sure on the arms with black ends, but the green wire with red ends is NOT a 'stock' class legal arm, I don't think. Matter of fact, it's the same arm I have in my Doorslammer car! It ohms around 6.5 to 7.5 or so. It's legal in Gasser or Doorslammer, altho the 'arm of choice' in Gasserr has been a Mean Green (ohms around 6). Let's just say, that arm (it's a "Tuff Ones" arm) in an original Aurora 4 gear chassis, with good mags, will fly! It'll probably work good in a Gasser, but so far, they seem to work a lot better in a 4 gear chassis. If that arm is in an original Aurora chassis with silver parts on the bottom, and silver pickup shoes, you have an original Tuff Ones car I believe. And, that chassis may not be legal as 'stock' simply due to it being a 'factory high performance' car. You'd need to double check that to be sure. To be honest, I'm not too sure the black tipped red wire one is a 'legal' arm either. I'll see if I can do some searching, but there was something 'special' about that arm I remember, but I can't remember what. Actually, you might be better to send a personal message to Ninjatek and ask him. You may get a quicker response. In the meantime, I'll see what I can find too. Ron (Bondo)  |

Actually, I think there are a couple stockers in there too. Get ahold of Ninja. And those do look like AW chassis and not Tuff Ones. You'd see the difference if they were Tuff Ones. And, here's an identification chart for ya from Ninja's site. Take a good look at it. www.ninjatekprojects.com/PDF/ArmMagQuickGuide.pdf Ron (Bondo) |

Ended up not having a black tip with red wire. Just took them all apart.

Hey Taz, had me holding my breath, think the arms with black tips were factory quads. We can't use them for any NTRA class. But I think others besides myself would sure like one, pretty rare nowdays. Guessing from the pics, one of the chassis with the solid rivets is probably stock, (from size of crown gear). Other one apears to have what were Aurora's hot rod wheels in rear. You could mix and match from these two chassis and see what works best. You might want to check, before doing this and see if the chassis's that have PAT. APPLD. on the top plate hold any collectors value. Knew they were old when I saw the solid rivets then caught the plates. If you find they are of value keep the same plates and chassis together, they are numberd.

Well darn. I thought I had a stock one in there guess the people before me that had them did some mods. the ones with the silver pick ups i think are like auto worlds thunder jets. Taz Not seeing the arms and not knowing the arms ohms measurements I'm replying to this simply on the chassis as shown in the photos. The three chassis with the copper clad electricals on the underside and brass gears on top plate all qualify for Stock Tjet use with the proper armature in it. From the photos the chassis with no wheels and axles appear to have the arm with the green wire and red tips you mention. This arm, based on the Arm/Mag Quick Guide is likely to measure between 6.0 - 7.5 ohms and would not be legal for Stock Tjet Class. However, if the arm measures as expected, this chassis is a good start to building a Gasser class car as it already has a lower ohm armature installed. The other two chassis if the arms are copper clad and measures 16.0 ohms or greater can be used for Stock Tjet Class. If arms are proper on these two, the chassis with smaller tires and hubs only needs a body to run in Stock Tjet Class. The other chassis will need the legacy or orignal type wheels and ribbed tires all around (in addition to a body) to run Stock Tjet Class. If the arms measure less than 16.0 ohms but greater than 14.0 ohms, the chassis can be used for Modified Stock Classes (Nostalgia Pro Stock , Ratt Rod). With any arm 14.0 or greater all of the chassis shown can be used in Modified Stock Classes. With lower measuring arms any of the chassis shown can also be used in Competition Eliminator Classes (GASSER, ALTERED, NOSTALGIA FUNNY CAR (BB/FC) ) As far as the Tjet chassis goes you now have options as to which classes to run providing you have a armature legal for the class. |

Hey Blue, can't do the t&t either. Wasn't sure where I saw your post about testing D/S's. Would you tell us what traction mags were used. Saw Ron's, post about track surface being slick.

Wood and I have been using one AW traction magnet on the right rear as of right now. As for slick We have problems keeping the front end down. The cars launching so hard they are lifting out of the slot.

Hey Blue,
Are you guys thinking of using second t/mag or w/bars? Had to add weight to the cars to make min. weight. Could move it forward. Wow........last minute madness, I gotta go make w/bars.
