😁👍 Thanks!
Your keeping the hobby up to speed thanks
Thanks for watching! I try to give the folks some good info.😁👍
good idea, I have always wondered why you never soldered them before.
Hi I did but up on the fronts of the pick ups but found with the glue you did not need to at all but this mothode is great slip braid through bend down and solder super easy! Thanks as always!
Good tip, Steve. I confess that lately I go to bed with slot cars on my mind as well. 😅
Thanks, I know right this just popped in my head I was like I am going in the garage and trying to make them I can't wait and sit in bed thinking about it all night!
I love your mods Steve. The last HO mod short video was great too!
Thanks! I am going to make a few more braids today!
Hey my friend thanks for posting your braided HO. pickup shoe modification as we have a couple of suitable 1/32 tracks ! also were using a thicker guide pin (piano wire) hey bud you and your sister should do some sprint races 10 laps your off your out , not as easy as it sounds plus it won't eat much time on your broadcast, and we can get some good o'le ROCK'n'ROLL betting ! Keep up the great work !
Thanks for sharing, This method is pretty neat I am going to make some more today!
Great idea
I think it will work really well on the big track! Thanks
Good thinking Steve!👍😊
He he thanks, Making some more today!
Great tip! Thanks!
You bet! Glad it helped.
Steve, great video! Idea for a package to convert your HO cars to operate on larger scale track. Pick up shoes and a modified guide pin.
Yep I have a playlist with like 5 videos showing everything I learned and do now so anyone can watch the videos and do it to there HO cars!! Thanks for watching..... going to make some more today! 😁
Go to bed,,, but Awesome fix and i bet a solid upgrade.
He he he thanks! Going to make some more today!
Converting micro scaletrix since the late 90s for 24th scale tracks. I'm always intrigued to see what others do.
Cool! I like this method have to make some more today! Thanks for watching.
Good idea. Kinda taking the idea from what the cheap ho slot cars do from AliExpress . Actually why don't afx just do braids or do they not work on their track? Nice video!🏁
Good point! Afx should make them and a bigger guide pin they would probably sell even much more slot cars if they did! Thanks for watching.
But the afx slotcars are at such high prices how much more would it add to the cost to copy what the cheap Ali Express cars do with braids? 🏁
@@Lews_SlotCarTesting Hi they could just make a kit you could buy so you can use the afx cars on big tracks,
Hey bud what did you use on the flat pin to make thicker!? Also like that porche 510 looks sweet !👍🤠Thanks for sharing Stevie.👍🤠🏎️🏎️🏎️
Hi thanks, if you go to the channel home page and click on playlists I have a playlist with like 5 videos showing how and what methods I use to make ho cars work on large scale tracks. 👍👍
Our brain-wheels are also always spinning, right?? LOL
Yes that's for sure! I am going to make a few more pairs today! Thanks for looking.
Awesome idea. Does the track have to be analog?
Thanks, Yes analog only to run ho slot cars.
Hi Steve Does that come in a roll the braid material ? another question Steve .. Why is the opening for the braid not directly dead center on the shoe .. just curious , great idea .. Thanks for Sharing not that ill be doing this .. being I'm an ho Guy
Hi yes it is desoldering wick 3mm or 3.5mm I forget and I defluxed it by soaking the braid in a good cleaner that strips everything off it. I put the braid more towards the guide pin so it lines up better with the larger scale tracks rails afx cars with wide pick ups and any other ho car like tyco 44o types I do it on. Hope this helps, I have a link pinned in the comments to a playlist with my videos I made showing all my methods I do and learned.
