I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one that has a little trouble with the brush barrels on these. These were much easier to do when I was a kid. I usually use a metal cookie sheet when taking apart and reassembling chassis. It helps to contain flying parts but doesn't catch them all. Great video. Thanks for doing these videos.
Agreed. I'm glad I had the foresight to buy several G-Plus springs from a guy who sold new old stock parts before I started to restore my first G-Plus chassis. Had a few that got away from me too. lol
Stay away from the Mega G chassis, the brush springs in those are microscopic in comparison. Not my favourite chassis, not by a long shot. The xtraction only gave me grief while trying to put the armature back in without disturbing the brushes, but I have the hang of it now.
I HAVE LOVED HO-SCALE RACING SINCE KINDERGARTEN... SO YOUR CHANNEL IS LIKE GOING HOME AGAIN... AND YOU ARE RIGHT ENGINE SPRINGS ARE THE WORST... YOU HAVE A SUBSCRIBER HERE... MAY BUILD ME ANOTHER SET AGAIN...
It looks like you were cleaning the com with a wire brush. We used to use a fiberglass pencil to clean the com while under power. Have you tried that method? Love the G Plus. Nice video, thanks.

Same here I use a small cookie sheet with a micro fiber or hand towel to catch any parts that slip out of my ig sausage fingers🤣🏁
Glad I'm not the only one who has trouble with motor brush springs. Lost three trying to reassemble xtraction chase

I keep a good supply of the springs just in case of one of the damn springs flying off into oblivion.

I'm with ya on all counts. Love the G-plus cars, love the 1970's F1's and that Leiger is too cool
It would have been good to see a dyno test of the before and after tune-up. Love your videos, keep up the good work.
Been watching you for years. Great information!
I like the speedshift. It will go either direction on the track. Lol
thanks for sharing... i love the work you are doing... KEEP IT UP!!!

I too have trouble with them brush clips... I do the same as you with each chassis off E~Bay 🏁🏁🏁
@Otis Saint Will have to check that out ‼️👌🏼👍🏻 Thank you
@Madden Bryce Going to check it out , Thank you ✌🏻👌🏼👍🏻
I think the G-plus was one of the hardest to work on. Brushes were a big problem.
The barrelholder clip is my big problem. ..
I am learning. .🏁🏁
Should a showed what made the speed shifter the car it was. Could go both directions on track. I like mine. It goes fast.
Thank you Troy.
I'm watching this video now realizing it's 5 years ago man prices were a lot cheaper then weren't they?

$33 for the ligier??? I wish it was that cheap now.
Sounds like you pulse the throttle all the time? If so why do you do that over being smooth with it?
+Jason Dickson my controller is really squeaky it makes it sound more that it really is
a few drops of braid juice or Ford atf than wipe with your finger fixes the contact sqeek. normal oil on the other moving parts
