Though I've recently been advised that it might be a good idea, as added security to the mounting screws, I've not wanted to have anything to do with soldering a motor onto a motor bracket, (or a chassis itself, which Really looks intimidating).
But, last evening, I had the strangest thing happen, which also reminded me of why I don't like to true tires while they are on the slot car, as I think it stresses the gears : I began to true the rear tires with sandpaper, on an older scratch built car, when suddenly, it began to emit this ugly sound, like gears stripping, or something ! When I investigated, I saw the screws securing the motor onto the JK bracket, were both about maybe a third of the way, unscrewed. Screwing them back in, allowed me to finish truing the tires, and now the car is running and lapping great.
My question : can someone tell me, and preferably, show me a photo or two, of how to, and, specifically, WHERE to, solder a motor onto a JK (or any other) bracket ??
And, if possible, how to solder a motor onto a LVJ chassis, as well ? Would like to keep this project as basic and simple as possible, as me and soldering don't get along well (almost wish you could glue a chassis together, lol : the less soldering, the more I like it).
