Outstanding vid!!! And what a performer for the dollar too!!! Concerning the tires coming off.... in the day I used AJ's tires on Tyco 440 chassis. I learned to smear a little of clear Silicone ( stuff in the tube ) with a toothpick across the wheel, then install the tire and give a little rotation of the tire on the wheel to spread it around. Let it sit overnight and it gives a little bit of 'insurance' from tires 'wondering' off the wheel, yet with a little force and twist the tire can break free to be replaced! Good Show!

Great video! I recently bought a TR-3 GT rolling chassis before Christmas from them for a few dollars more then the one you got there!! It has doubled flanged rear hubs so the tires stay on, medium silicone tires, Independent O-Ring front end, 3.5ohm armature, N-45 traction magnets, polymer motor magnets, stainless axles, stainless guide pin, glass filled orange(8/23) ratio rear gears, chassis itself is glass filled too! Hi end phosphor bronze pick up shoes. It comes with body mount screws, they break it in and final lube it too!!! I put a white newer Auto World 1964 GTO body on that’s decaled like Arnie Bestwicks Mystery Tornado drag car. I love Pontiac, especially 1964 A-Bodies. It’s absolutely awesome and well worth every penny!! I can’t praise it hi enough!. I’m gonna get a few more and shop bodies later when I get some extra ching. It’s an Insane fast Car!! You gotta try one or 10!!! They are BADASS FAST! The $33 TR-3 GT Is the T-Jet one for me!!

I've got a couple of the dr1 drag chassis, they run good and are getting faster and faster as they get broken in. The gears were kind of tight at first, but they're getting smoother.

Definitely leaning towards chassis' from US companies. BSRT, Viper, Bulldog and I don't have anything from Jag yet but have had my eye on them.

THANK YOU for the review! This is the first one I've seen of the JAG chassis. Both JAG and Andrew are great guys and fantastic sources for parts & cars. Been wanting to do and IROC set with the Dash '69 Road Runner...and I think I've found the chassis I want to put under them.

I had no problem with the tires, but only a couple of standard t-jet bodies fit over the tires.

I finally added a TR-3 to my collection. It was pretty much the same as the DR-1's, they need some significant break-in time before they really start coming alive. I'm just about through my first set of shoes and I feel like the car (gears mainly) is just getting broken in. I think A careful break-in is necessary on these cars. The gears were so tight at first that it was actually causing the car to get uncomfortably hot. I started running it in short bursts to just to get it broken in without over heating it. I ran it for a few minutes and let it cool down, did that repeatedly until it started loosening up and not over-heating. Now that it's broken in it can run continuously without over-heating. My DR-1's had the same issue as this one with tires coming off, they will need to be replaced, but my TR-3 tires are good, no problems. Maybe they realized the issue and fixed it. They also added a motor/magnet clip that they didn't have before. Nice to see them not resting on their laurels, and making improvements as necessary. The traction magnets in mine are pretty strong. It runs great on my tyco track, but was actually too much on my friends Life Like track, it bogged it down a lot. The thing absolutely flies around my Tyco track, though!

If you put it’s original rear tires back on with a lil silicone sealer it will stick to the track better because they are not as thick and the tires your running on it now thus allowing better traction magnetic action. Definitely a thumbs up to Jag here too!!

Really appreciate your channel. I just got back into slot car racing and dug out my track and cars. I have a nice collection of tjets and I was looking for a car that we could race with my super gplus collection that I could drop the tjet bodies on. I want to get the grandkids into this hobby and see all of the cool cars we had back in the day. Thanks!

Gosh, does this video bring back some memories. I've ran thousands and thousands of laps, and the one thing I remember all too well is just how often these little cars would come out of the slot. Forcing me to get up, walk around to the other side of the track, pick it up, and put it back in the correct lane, walk back around to the Controller, and continue on for about 2 to 4 more laps before I would be pressing the speed too much yet again, and the car would fly off the track. Repeat the above, and go for another 2 to 4 laps and repeat again. Of course, my Driving Skills Sucked, and having to get up and trudge around the track, only to do it all over again within just a lap or two just took the "Fun" out of running these cars. Since I was such a poor Driver, found a great deal of enjoyment out of Building them, and Painting them to look Scale and as Realistic as possible. haven't touched a car for close to 20 years, but I very recently, happened to look at some of the Viper Kit Tracks. My Brain started thinking, Hm-m-m Maybe I should get one of those Kit Tracks. Yeah, that would be fun. I've got Grand kids, they might enjoy running these cars. And they too could learn to fetch their car, and mine, after we both fly off the track after 1 to 3 laps or less. I figure at my age, their legs are younger than mine, Right?

i bought 8 of these cars, and yes tires fall off, each car runs differently, i find to not use brake and it will coast the corners betrter, they kinda stick to he track but like to roll out of the corners, after you learn to coast them in the corners they are fun, but after a wreck watch the motor, much like mega g the motor ten to pop out a little, which is annoying, becuz u have to take the body off to fix, and most bodies you need to file out the fenders, thats a small reveiw i never posted just becuz they are worth a few bucks, but not worth me posting a reveiw, terry from harden creek did a reveiw a while back on youtube, all in all are fast little cars, but you really need to run them alot to get an accurate review, i have, they are good, some of the cars seem to have a very tight gear mesh, i have not try to change front ends or slam them to the track yet i tend to let the kids smash these up
