Greetings,

 

I will be submitting a new item/idea/product to Viper Scale Racing to see if it's something they want to market as a hop-up for Tomy Super G+ or Viper cars as it would work universally. If they are not interested I will post here what it is. Stay tuned.

Let me guess, some sort of rubber pads behind the endbell contact pads to apply pressure to the pickup holders?

 

Hmm... a small dab of silicone sealant might do the job just as well.

You don't even need to know what it is. The inventor of top secret whatever it was hasn't posted about it in over 3 years. Another harebrained idea hits the trash bin.

If you don't know what it is I can't see how you can write it off.

Phil, the guy Mario, who talked about this, drove wing cars at Buena Park. Three or four years ago he moved away from slot cars & he had some family issues. His other big hobby was racing RC boats. He tried to get me involved more than once.

Oh OK, Bill. If you get a chance, why don't you ask him what the secret part is.

We communicated via PMs. I haven't seen him on here for a long time. You could send him a PM to his SB username yourself.
