Making some progress with tuning the cars. Found something really strange with an armature. Aurora/AFX usually color coded most of their arms. I put a red tip
gold wire arm in one of the cars I was preparing and the thing ran unreal. I became suspicious and pulled the car apart to find that this one was a 6 ohm red tip.
I have probably had 100+ red tip gold wire arms and never had one that was under 14 ohms.

Dave & Vince, you guys scared me, I had a fair running car with a red tip and thought , oh no, just my luck. So I pulled the plate to check it and am happy to say it's a 14.4 ohm  . I just assumed that all red tips were 14+ ohms, although I did check a few of them, I think I better start checkin' 'em all from now on  . |

I was also under the impression that all red tip gold wire arms were of the 14 ohm variety. Learn something every day. Glad yours was OK Gale. As a reference the 6 ohm arm was .15 faster than the best of the 14 ohm ones at 14 volts, quite a difference.

I have seen several factory red tip 6 ohm armatures with green wire. I think this is a factory arm or a good rewind. I has the same size wire as
the mean green arms.

The red tips with green wire, may be Tuff Ones or Wild Ones arms. Sometimes at the end of runs Aurora used to mix plastic colors together, so it makes sense that they may have used up whatever armature parts were left over at it the end of runs. |

That's good Bill. I never found those Super IIs very hot. A good mean green would beat it every time.

I cannot get these cars to be consistent. They will vary as much as .2 over a period of time. Cleaning helps but not always. This is typical for
pancake style chassis but it seems worse at lower voltages.
