Magnet Upgrade

[footeyo86]

Im new to the car maintenance thing ha. I recently got some new cars and performance magnets. I started with my tyco 440x2 chassis. I put the new red magnets in n when i put it on the track the car would go backwards.So I tried to use most my brain n rotated the magents. Is there a right direction? So when I put it on the track,they stuck so much that it very quickly tore up the pinion gear. Now I have read maybe tires and adjusting the magnets would help. This type of chassis n magnet style doesnt really allow for adjusting. Is there something im missing or could be doing? PLease let me know I want to care good care of these cars. Anything special I should know, I have 2 SG+, 3 440x2, 2 magnatraction n a 440 bar magnet to install still and I dont want to be ruining these cars. Any info would help n be appreciated. Thanx

Check out how I have my setup today!

Don´t fiddle with the cars if you´re not shure what you´re doing! Just ask

You installed new "red" magnets? I guess that are stronger traction magnets and not motor magnets...

Watch the temperature of the car, it will get hotter with those stronger magnets!

I started with my tyco 440x2 chassis. I put the new red magnets in n when i put it on the track the car would go backwards.

If the car is running backwards, you just installed the rear axle the wrong way.

In the Tyco 440´s the crown gear has to be on the left side of the motor pinion when you´re looking from behind/above on the chassis

also with you track setup, strong mags mag be an issue with the elevations ie.. keeping the track together
