Hi Folks!
Have had some Z stuff for a while; just put the recently put the layout into the table.
Noticed that my new GP35 is really slow!
Both against my F-7 and Marklin Pacific; Using 9VDC via Ztrack Snail Speed Controller .
Here’s some video:
New vs. Old --
New vs. Marklin --
Info from Rob of www.ztrackcenter.com/ :
The F7s is a 1980s design. The GP35 is a 2005 design. A lot has changed in those 25 years! The biggest difference is the coreless motor the GP35 uses. It is nice and quiet. Very different from the motor the F7 uses.
All ideas and comments welcome!
Jim
PS: my G too.

I see you noticed my boat. I lived aboard for 19 years. I also sailed around the world for six of those years. 42 countries. Had my first Z layout on that boat. Photos are buried in the archives somewhere. My boat was a Beneteau 51. Those were the days. Jim

Jim,
IIRC the small are 8510s 145mm/5.75"; the larger 8520s 195/7.6875.
Started collecting Z w/MTL Great Northern train set circa 2000.
Do you have a photo of you layout in the boat?
Jim

I see you are a Q fan. The more of us out there the more stuff that will be made in Z

Thats a really nice ARF that you have there. I used to build an fly RC A/C myself. I have a few
pictures of some of my planes on my gallery. If you are interested. I used to build for other
people also. But I cant do it now because of my health. I'm glad that you still can.
