Yeah, I asked Terry a question or two when I was looking for a pinion gear for one of my curve huggers. Old white gear had split, and wasn't holding. I think he said something along the lines of Those chassis were ancient and outdated 20 years ago, you're wasting your time. Well, I bought a couple of his pinions anyway and got that chassis running good again. Sent him some pics to show him what I had done to make it work. Very minor mod, actually. He seems to be good people. I've sent him a few of my dollars over the last year or so that I've been getting into this HO thing.

Dave
Terry is Very Respectful and has always got back with me to talk,
But I've learned 🤔 because He is very busy, to send Him a message and He'll call back and talk.
I believe Terry Knows
Pat Dennis,
My live near each other 🤔,
Somehow I believe the AJ'S
Line and Accessories are tied together with tyco,
I wish to build some AJ'S or maybe Riggen Racers
Like I believe are in the background of some of Terry Flynn's Advertisements.

Good luck with your brass pan chassis Fin. We are all waiting to see what happens. My 440 is very reliable, so far, with the brace installed. Pretty quick also at low 4s and 36 MPH. Lets see who beats it!

Thanks for sharing those photos, Fin.
The TycoPros have been my latest indulgence/obsession, although I have not been drag racing them..... yet.

Part #2 Cozwurth/Dave Steve E D Dave632 And others that show some interest. I believe as Pat Dennis and His Friend had This American Dream, spending there time at there Drawing boards With these frist prototypes, that they were to be part of the American Racing Dreams of many American Children, Boys,Gals, Men and Women 🤔 Like Respected Tony Porcelli, who was giving back to the families and churches. There are so many hidden stories of those like this that are yet to be rediscovered. We have a fellow NTRA member and His Wife who I admire so very much for doing the same in their small community. Tyco might never have been named Tyco if Pat Dennis could have convinced American investors to Stand With Him. Well, I wish to share some changes, First, I have some errors in my motor builds 🤔 For a "Can Motor"back in 2019, I allowed myself to believe an Endbell setup was the best setup over the brush barrel. It was easier to also find factory endbell armatures, But the brushes and Comintaters burn 🔥 up and short-lived , Future motors hopefully Custom wound and adjustable brush barrel motor Bushes, Note: Don't ever stop trying. Don't ever stop making mistakes from it all learn, And overcome, On this chassis note, I reinforced the top of the plastic chassis with brass plate , I changed the guide and used braids for the shoes with Silver braided wire from Shoes to motor. Hopes for the future is to cast the plastic chassis all in Brass. Fin    |
