Hey all! Hope this finds everybody healthy. Finally got my strip setup and my Slot Dragon sensors and tree installed (that's a whole nother story ) Running pancake motors everything is working great, I put a pancake motor w/a (have no idea how what to call it) open armature car and they both stall after about 1/2 to inch of travel. If I give them a nudge and they go on down the track. Any ideas as to what's going on? Thanks.

Al's right the small stock power supplies will not allow a hot motor to run.

Rail height is good. Kinda figured it might have to do w/amperage. I have a brand new power supply, just waiting on some hookup. .

Getting there! 10' 3.75" 1/8th mile strip. Need to clean up wiring and add some grand stands and other accessories. In the foreground is what happens when you start w/1/32nd and then fall in love w/HO. SWEEEEET!!

Looks great!
Just goes to show you that there's room for both.

Looking good. Several of the racers here run 1/8th mile tracks. Nothing wrong with that.
