Posting this from the other thread I replied to:



I seem to have good results switching the G to the G3 chassis with the medium stiff ones.I guess the stock G+ would be considered stiff.
Check your tire heights too.I like my G3s to leave a fine silver line on the magnets.Then it will break in nice,and drive really well.

Play with the gears too.I havent found a good rule of thumb with them tho.A combo that works on one G3 might no work so well on another car set up exactly the same.

And always watch your end bell when you reinstall.You can knock the motor brushes out of time if you're not careful.

Make sure you have good contact where the end bell contacts meet the shoe hangers.
Its only legal at my track,but I solder them for the best performance.
Giving them both a little sanding and bending out that contact on the endbell works too.
And if you have hemos or small needle nose,you can bend that little tab over itself for REALLY good contact.That one is almost as good as the dot of solder.

ANd then the front ends,and the motor bushings and on and on.

There's more stuff,I'll share more if you like.And maybe some of the other guys out there will chime in as well.

G
G+
SG+
G3

Are those (4) different chassis types? :confused:

And is the G-Jet one of the above?

Thanks Mayhem. I wasn't sure if those first 3 were different generations of the G, or all abreviations of the same car.

I have to correct, G+ cars are their own cars and the follow up to the magna-tractions. People do call the Super G+ and G3 cars G cars from time to time. There is also now the G3-R chassis, which is an improvement but does require new traction magnets as well as a newly designed timing bracket.

Mayhem is also correct about the G-Jet, it is a short wheel base only G3 chassis with a 9 ohm arm and a brass weight in the front end and brass weights in the rear instead of traction magnets. You can go heavy or light with the weights in both front and back.

Crud. I was hoping something would be easy with all these car types.

Twenty six letters in the english alphabet - why do we needs so many G's? :)

Sorry to throw a wrench in there :)

Get yourself a G-Jet or 4, you won't be disappointed....
