I had this set as a kid! It was awesome! I still remember the smell of the little motors burning haha!

The advertisement that i see on a 1994 catalog, makes it appear to have lights along some track, like todays micro LED kinda..

Great review. Are any other layouts possible with the track pieces? Thanks.

You ever check milliohms of the shoe to track, to hanger, to brush? You can make a milliohm meter for $1 out of lm317 and a resistor.

I used to love this thing when I was a kid

For cleaning the rails I use pink eraser and if its stubborn white eraser, then 99% alcohol. My milliohm meter has proven it works well.

I recently got my first 2 mega g plus cars. One 1.5 chassis and the other is a 1.7. The 1.5 runs very quick. It’s extremely quiet and has great coast. The 1.7 has the off center pinion and sounds like its grinding corn just like you said. I have a broken lifelike T car that I can steal a pinion off but I also put a warranty claim in to AFX. We’ll see what happens on that end. The 1.5 car is significantly faster but that may just be the bad gear holding it back. I have a set of low profile Harden Creek tires that I run on the 1.5 and it significantly helped the handling. I will probably put the Mega G hop up kit in them. I put one in my old original mega g with adjustable brush tubes and the car is very quick around my track now. I love Harden Creek products.

The U-Turn option is pretty cool.

The same thing happened to me in the white Ford GT. I took the paper interior out and the speed increased. My Ford Mustang GT rear wing broke off. I epoxy glued it back on. I guess it's part of the hobby 🍷

Pity you do not make them so detailed now a days. Been wanting to order 4, but what is offered is not what I like.

Terry’s lexan paint jobs are amazing. Very sharp!

I had one of these in the early 90's

Hello friend I have a quick question concerning using a laptop power converter with my Artin track which currently lacks power , it uses a dc output of 6 v, 1.2 A. If I adapt a laptop converter should I only focus on the current or voltage must also be a thing to consider ? Thanks for your help

Use 2 12volt deep cycle batteries in series with a Parma 45 ohm controller . Works with G cars, lifelike would burn up . Life like sux . Nice bodies though .

Old G plus ( motor in frame ) we used to use tyco axle about .005 thinner would help with handling . Chassis would rock a bit . Also used to tweak the chassis ( bend them ) boiling water and a machinists vise . This enabled a larger rear tire with the same chassis hight more in the front for more top end with a taller wheel . I used to cheat a bit with the stock gravity magnets . I found rare earth magnet disc’s and would file down an area on top of the stock magnets under the The magnet chassis clip hid the rare earth magnet . Looked perfectly stock . Hollow axles weren’t allowed either but a drop of super glue and a touch of silver paint over the open ends did that trick . We use 24volt…2 deep cycle car batteries in series with the charger on during races . A Parma controller with 45 ohm resistor with or without brakes the way we wired them . The G cars were excellent with this power ( tyco also ) . Rocar would burn up most times . Also used Amrack body’s on the G’s with some plastruct tee plastic that clipped into the chassis body clip area . That old white Porsche body was great in our sports classes . Have fun !

3D printer would solve your problem.

Do you still have this set & can I buy it off of you?

Very cool idea!

It was Plain Obvious ! That ! TYCO ! Wanted People like you ! To Spend ! Gazzlions ! On Keeping ! There ! Cars ! Running A FEW ! MORE ! LAPS !!

I Think ! This LOOKS ! WAY TOO ! MUCH !! A.F.X ! Ish ! Totally SAD ! KENBRITE ! Weren't ! Still Together ! With TYCO ! NITE GLOW DOUBLE LOOPER and Command Control ! ) Of the Late Seventys early Eighties !

Does this work with HO train wheels?

made in china ?

Awesome!!!

I found this set in one of my local Goodwill stores several years ago. Unfortunately, t was missing the two small track supports, but everything else was there. I'm still looking for the two small track supports before I attempt to assemble it.

THAT'S A AFX TRACK MY GUY!!!😂

Awesome!

I had this!

Hi, I enjoy ur videos, one day can u show and explain how to dye ur chassis,5hx

I love Harden Creek!!!!

That's is awesome my friend. Music and all. I cant believe the rig moves that good. Now I want one. You know one will not be enough.

Best Show In Town😁👍🚗🇺🇸🌍🛸

THE FENDERS ARE WAY 2 LARGE ON THE FLARES...PICTURE OF INTERIOR IS WAY LOW CLASS...I BOUGHT 8 MODELS ANYWAY😅

If the shoe is floating, doesn’t that make the spring the primary current path? Is the spring able to handle the current without removing the temper from it?

Terry..Thanks a bunch !!

Thank you so much for posting this. I bought a lot of these very tracks years ago and am finally going to bust them out. As I figured, we gotta do a little work with the wheels, as well as getting those motors warmed up a bit. :)

can you swap in upgraded traction magnets, without having to take the entire chassis apart? I just want to upgrade the traction magnets, but being an AFX guy, I only have 1 Tyco chassis and I have very little experience with them. mostly get turned off dealing with the pickup shoe springs, my hands and old eyes always have trouble just replacing a pickup shoe on them.

I had this set when I was a kid & the snakebite truck never worked right lmao

i had one of these for years , it never work once no matter what we did.

I had this track growing up... I'm shocked how easy you made the jump loop. I remember it had a trick to it... Like letting go of the accelerator at 25% of the loop.

So happy with the super 7s. I sat tgere looking at my 4 beautiful Super 111 licensed livery bodies and dreading the massive maintenance it took just to keep them running. Now, they are the hottest looking and performing things on the track.

Have you tried other body types on the super iii or just the ones they say it's for

I had two original release super iii chassis In my box for years that I could never get to run right. I decided to mess with them the for the past few nights. I got one running quite good. For me the culprits were primarily the gears and how the shoes fit on the brush barrels. I put a Lifelike M Chassis rear axle in with some slip on silicones. And that quieted it a bunch. I played with brush tension and checked the armature wasn’t binding. I ended up setting some very fast lap times with it. It was slightly dragging in the back and riding high in the front. I ended up crashing it and breaking the shoe retainer off the front of the chassis. I ordered a bunch of parts and 2 bare chassis to mess with. Meanwhile I rigged the chassis up with a paper clip to hold the shoe but the car lost .5 seconds somehow. I took it completely apart. I put in a 3 ohm arm from a Tyco HPX2. It needed 3 or 4 spacers on the rear. I put the factory AW spacers on the front. I used the HPX2 brushes and I put the tyco HPX2 pinion on plus the Lifelike axle and crown in. It had no balls. I futzed with it for almost 2 hours and traced it to the shoe in one side not making great contact to the brush barrels. Plus the spring was also played out on that side. I tweaked it around best I could and the car TOOK OFF! It set the fastest lap my track ever saw. I also added some Neo disc magnets to the outside of the chassis that are helping the motor magnets. It definitely helped. I think shunts from the shoes to the tubes would be great but not super fun to do. It’s also dead quiet now with different gears. Is it still a super iii? I don’t know but it’s easy to work on and moves good now. I think anybody messing with these cars that wants to help them out is to change the rear gears. It’s dramatic. The motors can run not too badly if you make sure they are getting good contact at the brush tubes and aren’t binding at all , plus oil them often. Auto world cars look great but they aren’t for people who don’t like to tinker.

Yea sandpaper works way faster then the penny. Cant believe as a kid we used to use the coin. Ha

Man, these videos of yours have helped me enjoy this hobby exponentially. I've got 50 HO cars, 32 of them are Tyco 440x2 and Hp7s. They ALL run WAY BETTER than when I bought them brand new because of these workbench videos. I just ordered my 3rd and 4th Super 7 chassis last night. This video will be saved in my workbench playlist. I highly recommend ho slotcar owners do this. A round of applause for Terry FLynn for not only revitalizing this hobby but also moving it forward.

Really in joy the bench work stuff.Terry .👍

Excellent video. Terry do you have an engineering background?

Contacted Terry for a controller for my track…cars …Tjet he recommended the DS …..AND AM totally satisfied with them….as a good all around controller…..have a model motoring track that I had when I first started in the hobby……thanks Terry….very satisfied…Harden creek is the best……🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️ Charlie

Most informative. Will be calling you tomorrow (Friday) !

Thanks for the info Terry its very helpful.

Learned a lot appreciate you knowledge time.😊
