It's very messy and gets the track surface oily...not to mention the car too. I will go with conventional set up. Jeff, I have never put on so much oil that it fouls the track. everyone has different ways of doing things. to be sure, I would never send a car of that caliber any where to race that I wasn't handling it in person. there is much more to racing outlaws than happens at most proxy races. I think anyone who has raced the cars I am referring to would agree that they have to be there to race the car. and I agree, that the proxy type racing we are doing doesn't lend itself well the most extreme practices I have grown used to live racing. I respect your opinion and decision and heartily agree Al my comments weren't directed at you but were more directed about wet comms in general and in addition to your comments. I completely agree with your thoughts of needing to be on site to run one of those builds. But I have had a couple of those builds sent to my races and those were messy and actually did not run very well. |

Yes Al it is a MaxTrack but the rails are straight into the plastic.
I also have had no problem with getting any liquid on the track the way I
install the wet brush. I use braid with no spring. I will be showing some pictures
soon.

I will do a tutorial on the wet comm. Rick the gear is holding up fine. I did have to solder it to the axle as it started to slip. Don't know why as the inside diameter seemed to be fine. I did break in the crown with Simichrome for about 20 minutes @ 9v and it runs very smooth now. No sign of failure of any kind with the gear, looks great and I think it will take all I can throw at it. As you may have read 28 volts did not work out to well as it started to tear the positive rail on the track up. Will have to do more checking on that. Maybe Al has some ideas there as he used to run at tracks with some higher voltages. Dave I’m really glade that gear is working so far. The new 15T I did I think is better than that one. I was worried about how good it would mesh. Thanks for putting through the test. Rick |

Here is a link to my tutorial on installing wet brushes in a pancake. I don't use any springs and I mainly use the old style Aurora t jet and AFX chassis which have built in springs but it should work with the newer chassis. I have gotten good performance with this setup and it holds up pretty well. Just don't short the two poles together as you will then make smoke. I have never tried this with anything but low ohm builds and it works. nitroslots.com/thread/4905/wet-brush-tech |
