MAGracing Forum

At a certain point standard RC equipment surpassed the capabilities of the original radio-system. Wes let http://www.magneticracing.com/cars/cars.html develop a new radio receiver and using a std RC-transmitter to take the system further. Chassis was the developed and they used 3D-printing for produ...

The original car and controller ( Mag1) came with a special designed radio control unit, receiver, motor, chassis and steering.
This was produce in number less than 1000 units and sold by Wes directly.

To control the cars RC equipment is used.

A small 1 Cell rechargeable 3.7V battery supplies power to radio, steering and motor.

Typical 15-30 minutes of driving is obtained on one charge.

'Unlimited' number of cars can run at the same time.

What sets MagRacing apart from other system is it's slotless track. A 0.7mm spring steel wire is placed in the track for each lane, flush with the surface - guiding like a slot in a slot-track does. It is magnetic so the small magnet in the steering of the cars keep the cars direction. The guide-wir...

MagRacing is the brainchild of Wes Raynor who wanted to take SlotRacing to the next level. Using his long experience from his slotracing career he spent a decade developing and fixing the shortcomings of slotracing. Primary goals : True scale speed. Scale like behavior. Slot-less racing. Challenging...

I see your point about novice racing.

I will make an introduction section to the forum. That can lead people in the right direction.

And I think we shall be generous about anyone wanting to offer 'anything MagRacing' in the forum.

Yes without being very scientific, some flex in the chassis will allow for some twist and less jumping behavior on uneven surfaces - I think.
Given the body are not restraining it.
The 3 point magnetic fixture for the body is also beneficial in so way. Kudos to Wes.

Grip is dual sided sword for us. Primary goal with Magracing was to get a scale-like handling. That to make it challenging to run at scale speed. To good grip will ruin the challenge. So there are really no need for or request for super grip. So some slip makes a differential unnecessary complicated...

Did you ever get to test it?

Adding the gears must add some drag ( friction ?

I was intrigued by your steering suggestion. Trying to figure out what you where thinking of .

Something like this ?

Having the steering-guide direct one the motor axle ?
