@@marksslotcargarageI thank you for getting back to me, i am not racing and while we have been out west i haven't been able to put up a track, we are in the process of moving back to ohio where i can reclaim my internatioal 4 lane track from my son, so we will see what changes. I would like to build some chassis and do some racing back there.
Really cool Packaging with those Rooster Racing cars ... Out of the guys I'm subbed to your probably the only guy that races competitively .. ( poss Scott a little ) I'm not sure he's in a deep are you ( by all means no knock on Scott , cause he is so busy with a lot of stuff ..The his Mustang and the channel , I will have to google Roosters site , Not that I will race competitively ... just want try one of these Roosters for the heck of it ... really sharp look with a clip and hard body I comment as I watch ..just so you know and at times my comments are too long lol .. I see yeah ya don't want tires to chip never seen that ..but I see they are rectifying that ... Thanks Mark and Steven
Yeah the Super 7 is not meant to replace AW or AFX, it's a different class car. It also has features a stock Viper VSPEC does not have. By the time you pin the rear axle, add an independent front end and a balanced arm not to mention add a body and shipping you are way over $65.
Hey Mark ,I hope you and yours are doing well. Happy July 4th to all. I am looking at getting into the S7 stuff and putting Lexan bodies on a couple of my AFX MG+ for testing. I been having a lot of Dslotting with MG+ with the bodies, even with Viper tires on the flat turns. The 1.5 chassis is the worst with multiple style bodies. I currently have a 138' AFX track and 18' drag track. I have used the AW adjustable power supply, and AFX on Expert for most testing recently.( I have an adjustable PWS that I have not had time to install yet) What S7 would you recommend for plastic track with 9" and 12" banked turns? And where did you get your yellow Pennzoil Lexan body from I saw in another video? Thanks for the videos.
I am surprised with the better tires you are having so many de-slots. You can also go with level 42 magnets for the Mega G plus, they really help with handling. As for the Super 7 I think the one Steven sells from Rooster Racing has the best overall configuration, it already comes with all the upgrades you can do to it. If you are looking for a budget S7 the base model that Terry sells on hcslots.com works well on a home AFX track. I got the yellow Pennzoil and most of my other Lexan bodies from Jay Jaap on Facebook, you can reach him via Facebook Messenger. Thanks
@@marksslotcargarage Thank You Mark. I have 52 and 42 mags and not getting a good combo on my current track config by themselves with the bodies on them. One of my fastest on stock tires with an AFX body on it long chassis is one of my slowest on the drag track if you can believe it. Of course its not me.......But it has double stacked 33 mags stock tires. The fastest is a 1.5 chassis with no body, 42 and 33 stacked with Viper pink tires. But the PINK Viper tires are faster than the white and black tires I have.....go figure? But I fear double stacking the mags will shorten the motor life. I already burned off a rear hub on my stock C8, it just fell off mid race. I am talking with Steven RR already today.
@@JDL_2020 Not sure what to make of the issue you are having with bodies on. My go to config for Mega G Plus has always been level 42 with either an HC Slots rear end setup or a Viper rear end setup. I think you will really like the Super 7, it is in a whole different class than the Mega G Plus.
@@marksslotcargarage I hopefully will find out soon enough, I jumped in feet first and ordered from Steven. I am using the stock controllers for 1 and I suck at driving them? My track goes from banked curves to flat curves/corners back to banked curves with 2 18' long straight's . I will get a couple Defalco soon now that I have made the investment in decent cars. And it will probably change my set ups, again. I was not really expecting to be chasing speed. I could go on and on like I'm sure you could with setups but I do not have all the bells and whistles many have to draw on to customize/tweak.......yet at least. I don't have a go to combo, what works in one does not work as well in others I tried, just like in real race cars. In my testing it is night and day between racing with body off, I mean by a lot. Double stacking the magnets getting the weight lower/center of gravity lower is what leads me to believe the bodies were top heavy. Hence my search for AFX G+ Lexan clips and Lexan body to test. 138' of 2 lane track 6.96 sec without a body, I can't even come close to that with a body on, let alone stay on the track. But it makes sense why all the serious racers run Lexan bodies, right? Even in real drag cars, they have very light bodies and put the weight as low as possible. Then we can't ignore the timing systems, I am using a Carrera 2 lane lap counter/timer so the times are as good as that is accurate. As for it being me, to be fair I have not had much practice the last 10 month's.
You will love the Rooster Racing Super 7 but it won't run well with a stock 120 ohm AFX controller. The 120 ohm only works with Mega G Plus cars. A Difalco with a sensitivity adjustment will help you a lot. Good luck.
Good information as always, as there are always new people with questions seeking where to go for products they can use
.
Thanks Mike, I appreciate that.

@@MikeRoth-ex1wkThat would be awesome! The Super International is a great set, you can build some nice layouts with it.

Thanks Jim, you can reach Steve at Rooster Racing via his Facebook page or Facebook Messenger. You will love the Super 7.
Awesome video mark I'm going to have to get some of those I have to get some of those😊😊😊
Thanks Shawn! The Rooster Racing Super 7 is great.
Thx a lot!!! Could you do a tech video about timing of armatures please? What’s the difference?
That is something I am looking into doing. Thanks.
I know when i first set it up it was as near to the track we were club racing on so i could set my cars up to try to match the competion.
That comes in handy for sure. I find I setup cars that run great on my track but not so great on the track we are racing on...lol All part of the fun.
Sorry Mark i wasn't here for live view I don't get up at 7:30 in the morning anymore.
Yeah sorry, I know it's early for the west coast folks.
At 65 dollars it is a definate up grade from aw or afx. It is a little higher than a vspec viper though.

Another option to consider when looking to up grade with out having to add more after market stuff for speed, does that make sence?
I think that's what the Rooster Racing version gives you, a car that is pretty much already upgraded as far as you can take it.
