sticks Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Hi Robbo I understand that we will be running the track for the APC in the reverse direction, so my question is, will the track be switched or will we have to change over our lead wires. Thanks Rodney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo_sa Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Hi Rodney. You will be switching your motor leads.

Pagey Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 He is going early this year , might just get the leads swapped just in time . Although it depends on the air travel again . Missed my flight ? No your wrong I'm early! Fragile stickers on slot box ? Clean up runway 2 , bring some tape. 😳😱🕓✈️💩😩😡😂😂 Captain trips are always special . 😂😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Switching lead wires is a pain when your wires are different lengths and routed in the chassis. There goes a day of precious preparation time - removing motors from 30 cars unsoldering the wires from the motors turning them over and resoldering the wires and reinstalling the motor......

jimmyslots 1950 Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Charles,why are you flipping the motors,just re solder the lead wires at the guide,remember KISS. Cheers Jimmy Quote To finsh first,first you gotta finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry J Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 All my cars have a small piece of circuit board somewhere behind the front axle with the lead wires in two pieces each side. Lets me set the front half of the wires so that guide returns to centre and I can change the wires from the motor at the circuit board very easily as they're side by side. Also saves on lead wire as the back half doesn't move, so it never wears out. .

Victory Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Sorry guys for having a whinge. We do not race at tracks like Hornsby that are wired in reverse so we have not had to change direction. Thanks Jim and Gary for your input. All of our cars have been build with the positive wire coming from the rear of the motor to the right hand side of the guide and the negative from the front of the motor to the left of the guide. With the wire cut to length the positive wire is not long enough to stretch to the left hand side of the guide. I like your idea Gary of having a joining block behind the front axle to allow for the polarity to be easily reversed and as you suggested it is only the front section of the wires that fail due to constant movement.

Pagey Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Gee Charles, sounds like you and Clinton are on top of things this year in team Nissan . No lobby workshop in motel this year building bodies until the early hours of the morning? Lead wires will be a walk in the park . 👍😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
