AURORA Hop-Up Kits

The following parts can be used to make your slot cars go faster, stick better, look cooler, and in general contribute to your enjoyment of the HO slot car hobby. 

AURORA Thunderjet parts:

Wheels and tires: this list shows all of the performance and appearance improving wheel and tire combinations available for your t-jet. If you are going to make your t-jets go faster you need to get the power to the ground. These are tire and wheel sets designed to make you look good and go faster!

Armatures: Most stock thunderjets came with armatures that were in the 16 to 18 ohm range. By lowering the electrical resistance of the armature you get a motor that spins faster. The side product of this improvement is heat. The lower the resistance the more of the electrical energy that is converted into heat. Also as the resistance of the motor is reduced the strength of the magnetic field should be increased for optimal performance.

Magnets: As noted above, lowering the resistance of your armature will cause it to spin faster, increasing the strength of the magnetic field will give you more torque (power). The magnets available for t-jet use are somewhat limited but choice does make a difference.

Handling: Lacking magnetic down force, the best way to improve handling on your t-jet is to add weight to the lowest point on the chassis. Our polished stainless steel pan is both functional and good looking.

Electrical: The t-jet electrical system is notoriously inefficient. This group of products will improve this system.

Gears: by changing gearing you can increase the ‘top end’ performance of your t-jet.
