    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 !

    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.

    Converting micro scaletrix since the late 90s for 24th scale tracks. I'm always intrigued to see what others do.

    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!🏁

    • @BSslotcars
      @BSslotcars  13 днів тому

      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.

    • @Lews_SlotCarTesting
      @Lews_SlotCarTesting 12 днів тому +1

      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? 🏁

    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

    • @BSslotcars
      @BSslotcars  13 днів тому

      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.
