Steve,

I also approve and think that it is very clever! Reminds me of a Kart racing chassis actually.

Lead wires are "no problemo".
Mine are modern Alphas, and nobody complained about them.

I love it, Steve ! :good:

Modern Pro/Slot armature spec:
55 Turns of 28 AWG
.450" x .518" Stack


Does this mean it is legal to take a modern armature and stuff it into a vintage can/set up???? Inquiring minds want to know....

So much DRAMA for such small cars....

Don't DQ me for having the wrong SHADE of orange on my McLaren... after all, it's ONLY a toy car!!!
