Do you like the way they run with the braided pickups? Do you need to do a lot of fiddling to get them 'right'?

I only run them on Neils wheels max trac so they seldom need to be brought back into line, but spin backwards they can bounce pretty good. My biggest complaint is the guide pin on two is molded in so when it breaks ( its nylon) I am going to have to cry at Bill to fix it..
I think on a regular track the braid would be more of a problem.

I run Micro Scalextric's all the time... I haven't had to adjust the brushes anymore often then I have to adjust T-jet picks ups. I like them, they keep the rails clean and I think their chassis are among the smoothest running out there. I run them on mostly Life Like or Tyco track... maybe on Tomy track they don't run as well, I don;t know.

Coach... to fix the guide... just cut down a small piece of a Tomy front axel... heat the tip, slide it into the plastic, add a drop of superglue, trim down to size.. and you have a permanet replacement.

I have a Micro Jag. The braids work great on my Tomy track. The car is very smooth and quiet.

I wish they wouldn't solder their motors in place. I small gripe but it makes changing motors initially a pain. The stock motor lacks guts.

Ive got quite a few MicroScaleys, like 12 or so. The braids run great on tyco track. If you spin out and they hook on the rails, they have to be tweaked back. But they run smoother and quieter, and have great conductivity. And since radio shack will sell you 5 feet of desoldering braid for $4, stocking up on spares is just that cheap and easy.

In fact I like the braids so much that I figured out a way to retrofit tyco curvehuggers and HP2s with them. You wouldnt believe how much more power they have, since rather than having to go thru pickup skis, springs, and tabs to get to the brush barrels, my method routs the braids right to the brush barrels of the motors. So conductivity is a LOT better. Im going to take some pics and put up a post in the tuning section soon.

Coach, You take that gold chrome Porsche, strip the gold off, take the gold to the pawn shop, and buy some decals for your yellow Porsche with an orange wing (wings may vary) just a thought...RM
