When I got home from my studio last night I worked some more in the slot car room on my Maserati. I got the motor installed in the actual position of the full sized car but as always with drive shafts I ran into problems. As a whole I don’t like them. They can be problematic.
So I changed motors and mounted one of these small short can motors with a pinion directly to the crown gear. Bingo! The car ran fast and smooth the first time.
The driver will sit right on top of the motor but the way I will do this it won’t be seen much only if you look straight down into the cockpit. Life is a series of trade offs anyway and this was a good one.
Video soon.
