Yes Detroitchild, I gotta have my sideline trays.

I am going to adapt my 308 trays to this field until I can build and stain some new ones to match the frame.

Default Looks great!
six motors?? What size is the board? I made a 24 X 48 sheet metal board and It runs smoother with 1 motor rather than 2. Do you have 2 in each end zone and 2 at mid field? I'd like to have more speed but when I use two motors it gets a little jumpy. Also when I connect both it seems they run at a slower RPM...got any advice for a newbie?

If you are using a rotary motor then you need slightly smaller counterweights to reduce the bouncing.

If your motors arent encased, could you shoot me a pic of one? I am using a RC heli plastic gear that has pre drilled holes around the perimeter with a very small screw (size #2) in one of the holes.

That's the basic gear and counter-weight set up I am using.

Well maybe it's my power supply then. I'm using an adjustable 0-16V model train transformer.
