Getting some cars ready for August and trying to recall where it was decided that the AFX Super II chassis fits into our rules package. I have a couple that are just collecting dust. It would be nice to get them into action.

It would be nice to get them into action. Bill I'm not sure exactly what you need to know. An AFX Super II chassis would be Xtraction, Magna Traction, non Magna Traction catagory. The armature would not be legal in anything other than unlimited. I believe those were 4 ohm. Put a mean green or a stock arm in it and it's legal in any Class. The stock Super II motor mags aren't even as powerful as most of the aftermarket magnets nowadays. |

Jeff,
That sounds good. Mostly, I was looking to use the chassis and possibly the gear plate. The Quadralams are long gone, so as you suggested, a mean green would be the way to go.
It'll be nice to put the old warriors back into battle.
Bill

Just got back in from camping trip. ecbill if you want to go heads up with a Quadralam I will put one together and race you best two out of three. If Gale doesn't mind a challenge race. Quadralam, braids allowed, shunts ceramic magents and up two traction magnets. AFX or AW magnatration chassis any cutting allowed.

I didn’t think the brush cups where legal ? Rick |

As the rules are written right now, they do not say no brush cups. But they probably should?? Not sure of the correct answer at the moment and I don't want to hijack Gale's race thread. I thought it was an easy answer. Let me get with Dave632 and make a decision on these. Thanks for the heads up. Sorry for the confusion guys. |

The Quadralam armature would only be allowed in Unlimited. That is as per NTRA rules. |

I have installed brush cups in a couple of my chassis and got no improvement. It seems if you were running on a road race track they might help
some as they would dissipate the heat better than the plastic and stop the chassis from melting.

They would keep the brush springs form being sucked out from under the brushes, which has been a frequent problem lately. At least here in the SC shop. |

That is the reason I like the older non magnatraction chassis better, those springs have a tendency to slip between the chassis and the spring holder.
