Dash 4Lam Dual wire 4.6ohms Test Running at 14 volts, Pulling .15ampres. Runs cool at 93F Nice little armature.

Mini spot welder. This is for welding strips to batteries. Or, what ever else you can think of. The metal is Nickel. Parts List: 12v 18aH battery Jumper cables (trimmed) Copper electrodes Momentary switch Solenoid Platform for parts made from scrap wood.

This is a 1.5 Ohm Double Wire Triple Lamination With Neo Magnets. Tested with 20 volts and a 60 ohm controller on a Tyco track. This is a NON Magnatraction chassis with shunt wires going from the silver plated electrical contacts to the nickel plated Auto World Shoes. The original hollow rivets have been replaced with solid rivets. Wicked.

I am demonstrating how you match your magnets. You will need your own multi-meter. The banana plugs are a part of the (( Magnet Matcher )), so, you do not have to worry about breaking your probes to your multi-meter. 1. Flip your multi-meter to 20volts. 2. Plug Black lead into the multi-meter COM Port 3. Plug Red into the V(ohm)mA Port (please pause video to look) 4. Turn on your multi-meter. 5. Turn the dial on your (( Magnet Matcher )) and zero it out with the dial until you have 0.00 ------> NOT - 0.00 <---- 6. Once you have zero'd out your multi-meter, place your magnet in front of the probe to read your magnet strength. Your front magnets will read negative numbers (North magnet is pulling South voltage or negative voltage from your multi-meter - this is normal). Test the edges. Each magnet can very in strength at the edges. (more on this soon). 7. Flip the magnet over to see if your numbers get better or worse, (just like step 6). Keep notes. 8. Testing South magnets should pull positive numbers on your multi-meter. 9. The weak edges vs stronger edges. When you put your magnets in the chassis, try to keep a weak edge and a strong edge on one side of the car, and vice versa. If you put two strong, and two weak edges together, your motor will likely run like crap. The PUSH PULL of the weak to strong edges and PUSH PULL from strong to weak will even out the magnets eddy. You will want the center of the magnets to be as close as possible since they are the center of your eddy flow north vs south. I hope this helps everyone understand why a magnet matcher is different than a downforce meter. Matching magnets and the usage of a downforce meter (easily made with a cheap gram scale) will surely improve your motors capacity. As always your mileage may vary.

There was a time; when you would hear that iconic music a couple blocks away from your neighborhood. Everyone was so happy on a hot summer day when the Good Humor Truck rolled up! After you finally made your decision on what you were getting, you would wave good bye as the Good Humor driver slowly continued on his route to his next street. Ahhh... the good ole days! If you could; would you step back in time for a Good Humor treat? I would! The body still needs way more attention. It needs new paint, decals for sure. The chassis is a flamethrower. It came with the truck. I think the truck needs some new, well, everything! I kept it all original except for a front rim, front tire, and I Think I added better brushes. The shoes are silver plated. Someone loved this truck! I had to put a shim on the rear screw post to lift it up off the tires. You can see in the 'dirty' side views, the rear tires hit the fender wells. Adding a temp shim took care of it. If the truck had TJet style rims, it would not hit. Its cute. I think I'll keep'er. Maybe its time for ice cream, and a nice cup of cawfee!

The Batmobile wasn't very crusty. It ran when I got it, but, sluggish. All I did was clean it up with vinegar, and rinsed everything with soap and water. After I rinsed it all off, I cleaned up the brass and copper a bit. I cinched the solid rivets down to ensure good electrical contact from the shoes to the armature. I kept all the original parts, nothing was replaced. The brushes were very close to the original tolerance. The springs had plenty of pep. The shoes have a small bit of wear. The tires are original. It actually runs nice. Check for a follow up of it running smooth on just 5 volts of power. --- To learn more about N'jennsGems custom wired armatures, visit Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/578822243505123 If you would just like to see what I have for sale visit Etsy at: https://www.etsy.com/shop/NJennsGems or, you can also find them for sale at eBay too.

Cleaned up the slot car with plain white distilled vinegar, soap, water, and a little brush. Its not a very long video; it shows the smoothness at a low 5 volts. ----------------- To learn more about N'jennsGems custom wired armatures, visit Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/578822243505123 If you would just like to see what I have for sale visit Etsy at: https://www.etsy.com/shop/NJennsGems or, you can also find them for sale at eBay too.

Second quick test of the new dyno...

Testing the first run of a new Dyno build. Works ok.

This is a short video to show how a dual wire 4.2 (+/-.01) ohm armature in a tub with Level 10 magnets, and Super II magnets. The armature ran smoother with the Super II magnets. The Hotter Level 10 magnets makes the armature sound like it is working harder. The armature was warm with the Level 10 magnets, and cool with the Super II magnets. The ohms show 4.4, but, it is actually 4.2 - you must zero out your meter, and subtract that number. My meter shows 0.2 when you zero it out. hence; 4.2 ohms.

15.8 ohm triple lamination triple wire armature test slot car jl magnets

1.5 ohms double lamination dual wrapped advanced timing armature; slot cars

This is a special dual wire wound armature with triple laminations. The voltage is slowed down, and around the 24 second mark, I rev the arm from 2 to 3.5 volts a couple times. The arm tries to stall. I speed it back up; and the video ends. If you would like a Mock Super II armature, find me on facebook at N'JennsGems: https://www.facebook.com/groups/578822243505123

7 ohm test

Here in this video; I show you how well a 9.4 ohm double wire two lam armature performs in an AFX Non Mag chassis. (The chassis and gear plate are for testing purposes only) The leaf spring tensioners could be tuned a little better. I rewind pancake armatures; If you want your old pancakes rewired, or, if there is a certain ohm you are seeking; please contact me.. I wrap 0.7 ohms up to 20 ohms. I do single, double and tripe winds. I have rewired Slimlines, Super II Quadralams, New Autoworld, and Dash armatures, and of course many Aurora and AFX armatures. Enjoy the show.

This is the third and final video of a corroded aurora tjet that was cleaned up; see the previous two videos for different views. This is a solid rivet truck chassis. The green tow truck body is in a safe place!

Second video in a small series of 3. Little Aurora Thunderjet "TJet" slot car cleaned up, and tuned. New tires, and one shoe spring is all this little truck chassis needed. Its a solid rivet chassis from wayyy back...
