RikoRocket Posted July 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Bizarre isn't it. But then what is more weird: the effect that it has, or the idea that someone had to try sticking mutton on the rails...

miveson Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 BTW Signaman, you can pickup Inox from Jaycar in an aerosol can for around $10-$15. I use it for everything around the home, squeaky doors, garage door rails etc, etc..... Quote Slot Car Photos V8 Tipping Competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy_Cart Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) Bizarre isn't it. But then what is more weird: the effect that it has, or the idea that someone had to try sticking mutton on the rails... Not the most Bizarre idea I ever had, but when it comes to "effect" I've also said I only drink for effect......Water keeps me alive, Coffee keeps me awake and Beer keeps me sane! then there's slotcar racing.

sigmaman Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Thanks for all the help folks. I'll have to get me some. Quote www.sigmamansmodels.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ember Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Sigmaman, you'll get a aerosol can from AutoPro for about $8 or non aerosol (which gives you more Inoxy goodness in the bottle) for around the same price. It even comes in a 5 litre bulk for those who use it on everything. Quote Computers. They'll never catch on.

Drifter Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Assuming you mean the original PB6, Yes. But why? Ian Thanks Ian, Yes the latest outa the box Scaley 6 car base. Reason: lots of amps available for lots of cars and LC's and also I have one (deep cycle)that I can use :-) Drifter Quote www.sydneyslotcars.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason: lots of amps available for lots of cars and LC's and also I have one (deep cycle)that I can use :-) Drifter It would still need the high power mod as outlined above. You will have lots of Amps then, but you won't have the speed that you can get by running it at 15V Quote .............................PM me for C7042 Aux to PC cables............or Pit-Pro...

Reason: lots of amps available for lots of cars and LC's and also I have one (deep cycle)that I can use :-) Drifter The original PB6 is not the same same as the latest Advanced powerbase (APB6). The outa the box APB6 does not provide lotsa amps - it provides more than the original PB6, but much less than the PB-Pro with Simple-H. You can get more output when you get the mod described by Riko done - that mod effectively bypasses the regulator and sets the 'trip point' for overload to a higher value.

Drifter Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Hi Ian, I've been reading your electric images site with great interest. I was wondering if there is any way of building LC detection circuitry to trigger solenoids for a 'home brew ' routed track. Do any circuit diagrams exist?

RikoRocket Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Just a note: when you make this mod it puts the voltage unchecked to the rails, so instantly you get plus 2V compared to a standard unit.

glengtl1 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I think this is what you are after Use a standard C7024 power supply for the untouched connector (this powers the computer) Use a 0-15V 20-30 Amp power supply for the modified connector (this goes to the power section) Dont use a variable power supply in the untouched power socket as if you by accident up the volts, you will see smoke signals from the little indians inside the power base and then beating drums from the slot shop telling you they have another for sale. If this is not what you after Quote www.gtlslotcaraccessories.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
