It really is! Very family oriented, clean, and the owners are great!

This was designed for a Talon25 only, it won’t work on a 15.

This is a current day wing car, that’s what they are! Not the only slot car body in the world.

We compared the ESC’s for performance, dyno’s run engines at full on to find the best tune too dont they? Thank you for your interest.

Exactly, I can't even begin to describe how annoying that is when people do that in real life. They think they're funny but it's not to the 7 other people.

Wonder rubber tires.

Thank you for your interest John! Yes the ECOM built by Bob was tested against the other 3 in this video. It ran slower lap times than the others shown in our “test”.

funny.. they all use the same circuit and the similar mosfets. update the firmware on the ecom !

@@alkamotors158 make a video on how to do an upgrade it would be very useful ! Still waiting on you to send your version to be tested too!

@@brushlessslotcarracing I don't make esc's myself. I just provide the schematics and firmware so other people can make them..

Keep an eye on KC’s website for more information. Thank you for your interest! kcracing.net/Brushless-Parts/

I picked one up and it looks amazing! Do you have plans to release the chassis in spring steel? I think you for bringing so much brushless items to the market for us racers.

Thank you for your interest! We started with a flashed Castle Creations Talon25 in slot drag cars in 2014 with success. There are many esc’s on the market now for road course use.

@@brushlessslotcarracing, Was not aware of other brushless esc's, other than the talion yours were the first i seen. are yours adjustable through firmware or is it simple Plug (or solder in) and play?

@@crazylarryjrTalons are adjustable for drag racing, they don’t work well on the road course. Here is a link to brushless components. kcracing.net/Brushless-Parts/

You can buy a 2mm Koford axel and cut it down to use in the rotor, or go to Amazon and purchase UCell 2mm craft rod and cut it to 1 inch to use for the replacement. KC Racing sells motors that are factory shafted ready to use.

yes I bought the motor that this car is running kc had a 6500kv but they said not to use it for drag racing

DoSlot is available from Vero Beach hobby 772-777-1200 Mr. Joe can help. 😊

It’s a Trik Trac drag timing system built and sold in the 80’s. They are hard to find. There is another company that makes slot car timing systems called Track Mate out of Canada that is widely used.

kcracing.net KC has all the components needed to go drag racing, motors too.

Thank you for your interest! Yes they are fast! No motor maintenance either. The downforce of the body helps keep them in the slot. You can find everything to build a brushless slot car here kcracing.net. Checkout the other video’s on our channel for more brushless slot car information.

@@brushlessslotcarracing thank you! I have subscribed! I will check it out!

Thank you for your interest! Do you have anymore information on your testing? Did you put the setup in a slot car?

@@brushlessslotcarracing yes it make 2 wire to 3 it provides the signal. But tbh with active breaking and other programmable goodies in esc for roundy round esc maybe best. I was drag racing

Hey there, yes I'm in San antonio currently. Magnatech raceway is inside Wonderland mall on Fredericksburg rd. I believe Dallas slot cars and drag racing is around as well. I miss PA,'s place up near Houston. I did Box stock in the mid 90s. Been away for some time from the sport, but getting back in it and the brushless setups are looking pretty good.

Thank you for your interest! Yes it’s an ESC, but a Talon25 can be adjusted for drag racing slot cars.

The car has plenty of brakes and can be adjusted with the hand controller. Brushed cars “roll” till they stop too. There are new speed controllers on the market now that work very well in a slot car. This video is a tutorial on how to flash a Talon25 over for drag racing, we found that it worked on road course chassis too. Unfortunately to date a Talon25 is the only ESC that we found that can hold the voltage a drag strip runs on and is adjustable by the end user unlike the preprogrammed speed controllers that others offer. Thank you for your interest!

@@brushlessslotcarracing I believe your second version might. But your first version didn’t. Correct me if I’m wrong. I seen it in a FB group then noticed the one in the video here doesn’t appear to have. Correct me if I’m wrong but brakes are a function of the motor not the controller. Although the brakes can be adjusted from the controller. And yes brushed motors roll to a stop only if the brake setting is correct.

@@scorpiuswireless1 Talons were the only ESC that we adapted for slot cars. The only adjustable ESC that works in slot car drags. There are 5-6 different ESC’s available now for road course racing to date. We tested 4 on a drag strip and found they didn’t work well.

The cars were setup as a spec class with that gearing. They will run faster with a bigger 13 tooth pinion. Testing showed them running 2.8-9 second laps.

Thank you for your interest! Can you run 400-600 laps with the brushed motor without stopping and it not needing a rebuild? Brushless motors don’t require any maintenance after doing that. We recently put 3000 laps on cars and brushless setups that already had 1800-1900 laps on them. The braids, bodies and tires are the only things that needed replaced.

I ran a 12 hour enduro on one motor. Which as a wasp motor. Than ran it for half a season. It was too easy. On a 60 dollar motor which was 15 years ago. The only thing I did was break in a set of brushes and switched out the old. To race that half season. Than did a rebuild to finish the rest of the season. I did the rebuild because I wanted to also add a big race in during that season. Now with current slot car motors. Brushless are not a needed thing. Only adds something to the hobby making it less friendly to the budget racer. Brushless are slower, and poor mesh. The average heat for slower cars is around 40 laps per heat. So per race is around 320. Most season are 6 weeks one race per week. Which is the total laps around 1,920. Never really ever needed to do a rebuild or buy a new motor. Nor did the other drivers. I replaced tires every 3 weeks or so. But motor rebuilds or motors of any type any class nope. Unless it’s group 7, or group 27, I’m going to do a rebuild. But brushless can’t touch that speed.

In the summer of 2023 a wing car was run on a King track in Germany, it turned many laps at 1.7 seconds. No rebuilding was necessary after that was done. The car and setup still turns those lap times to this day. If brushless motors were so inconsistent and bad why are they in all our power tools and the technology is getting better in automobiles?

@@brushlessslotcarracing because they maximize the most out of a battery. Since they are more energy efficient. Which when you don’t have a constant power source. Like a slot car track. Brushless is greatly desired. But for this hobby which has a constant power source. That cancels out the need for brushless and unnecessary additional cost to the hobby.

@@sgtwilderness2821 Buying sealed tin can motors by the pound to be competitive in slot car racing isn’t cost effective to the hobbyists. The cost of 4-5 tin cans will pay for a brushless setup that will run longer and be more consistent without any maintenance to it. If you want to run a motor that is designed to self destruct have at it. Keep up on the rebuilds it might last you another 15 years. BTW not all the slot car racers/hobbyists have the tools or know how to rebuild their motors like you do, that’s why the tin cans have come into the hobby. We used tooth brush motors we bought at Walmart for motors long before the advent of the current tin cans….the tooth brush motors lasted about as long too only a few races then poof! Brushless motors run a long time without maintenance.

@@brushlessslotcarracing Thank you!

​@brushlessslotcarracing Where can I purchase this motor? Did you change the shaft to 2mm?

Thank you for your interest! These cars have well over 5000 laps on the esc and motors. Brushed motors would not be that consistent after all those laps if they lasted that long to begin with.

@@brushlessslotcarracing I have brushed motors with way more laps than that. I bet I have cars that are older than you. The only longevity advantage that brushless motors have is they don't wear out brushes or coms (and I've yet to have a com wear out). That's inconsequential as they are so easy and cheap as to be no issue. Consistency isn't an issue in slot cars, only performance at the moment. When we start running 5000 lap enduros, come talk to me. Economics is a big part of this consideration. I've looked at this in depth and there's just no real advantage to brushless tech in the slot car hobby but there _are_ a few drawbacks and physical limitations. No coil can pack the magnetic strength of a permanent magnet in to that small a space without blowing the power issue and the heat limits. I'll leave all the switching to the track power supply instead of the car. I'm sorry but I've done the cost/benefit analysis and when it comes to the slot car hobby, no matter how you slice it, brushed motors still have the advantage. That could change in the future but I don't see how.
