Wake up old AFX Dragsters

Its kind of hard when you need a bunch stuff to try new things.
Soak everything in vinegar overnight, then hit plates with a wire wheel. Some guys will glue neo dots or mega style neo for tractions.
The OS3 motors of any ohm work well. He sells them balanced but pricey, unbalanced they are reasonable.
Harden Creek has all the springs and pick-up shoes
Wizzard, RT-HO, Jag Hobbies* a big sponsor here at Nitro, all have brushs springs gears wheels and tires
I don't have any of the older AFX 4Gear cars, my cars are the AW 4Gear. Hobby lobby have them for 20 or I get the rollers from Jag.
Jag Hobbies has just about everything you will need to update your pit box.
Braid and shunt can be found on amazon under solder wick
Braid for shoe size 3-3.5mm shunt wire search for soderwick from chemtronics size#1
Soak and clean in alcohol to remove flux coating  

The local Hobby Lobby doesn’t get in the cool stuff I see other folks get at the ones they go to. The stock doesn’t rotate much at mine, and they seem to only get in the Looney Tunes and Import Heat cars. According to the manager, corporate dictates what they stock at each store.

I hit up the stores I do see traveling along with local hobby shops. Some stores call themselves hobby shops but seem to be focused on one core item only. 

Thanks for posting up some suppliers I wasn’t familiar with.
