In this video I am taking my first look at a Wizzard Fusion chassis and comparing it to a similar spec Viper chassis. A big thanks to Steven John Crossland from Rooster Racing for building me the Fusion chassis.

I would say even thou the fusion turn the most 2.5s and even a 2.4, it lost due to several de-slots as compared to zero for the Viper pro spec car, lol 😂. Also, great point about the prices. Wizzard could sell more cars if they could improve on the price. Never heard back on the mega g + motor mod? Take care and keep up the good videos

I agree with you there, I was pretty happy with how my Viper Spec Racer handled. Remind me about the Mega G motor mod.

I think some tweaking could probably shave off the difference between the custom Fusion and the hot Viper so honestly I can't see how the price of the fusion can be justified. And, just from looking at the two chassis closely, it's obvious to me that the molding of the Viper product is more crisp and sharply defined. Gives me the impression that the material the Viper is molded from is a higher quality material even with the lower price point. You are getting good times on that Viper track.
@marksslotcargarage11 ай бұрын
Thanks, and I agree the Viper chassis seems more mature and I like the multiple options Viper has on the stiffness of their chassis.

I've seen them race in Cincinnati over the past couple of year. The Wizzard Fusion has outperformed the Viper Spec Racer hands down at every race. It literally needs to be in a separate class from the Viper Spec Racer. At least that's the information I am hearing out of Ohio. I'm a Kentucky racer myself. I have no dogs in the fight.🤷🏾♂️
@marksslotcargarage13 күн бұрын
Yeah we see the same thing, I started with Vipers but could not compete against the Fusions, once I moved to Fusions I did much better. We still have a few guys that run Vipers but not many. I would like to see a Viper only class as well, maybe I could get some use out of my Vipers then...lol Thanks!

Here is a fun project, saw this on rooster racing. Let me just say that every time I do a paste and copy here, it doesn't stay posted on KZfaq, that is why you can't see or find my 3 posts on this subject. Back to the project. Can the Mega G+ be made to outrun a $45.00 Viper V-1 V-spec with only around $10.00 worth of hop-up parts? This racer ordered an FK-N20 mini drone motor (less than $2), same size as mega G+ N20 but with over 32,800 rpms at just 3.7v and almost 44,000 at 5v. Again, it's the FK-N20 with large cooling hole in the metal motor case. (I would double check the armature shaft length) He also doubled stacked N52 traction magnets and added .450 silicone tires out back. He claims that this car will eat a $45 Viper V1 slot car. Sounds like a fun project that I thought you might would be interested in. So, the question is, can the Mega G+ really be made to outrun a V1?
@marksslotcargarage11 ай бұрын
Someone else just posted the same thing. I saw this same guys post on Rooster Racing and even commented on it. I may have to give this a try and see how fast the car really is with the FK-N20 motor. Thx.

Hi MSCG..if you don't like building buy one(only)the price is depreciated by the amount of fun you have. So do wizards cars use a body clip system to run different manufacturers bodies?
@marksslotcargarage11 ай бұрын
Definitely if you have the budget go for it. I did not see the value of the Fusion compared to a similar spec Viper at half the cost. As far as I know there is no body clip for the Fusion.

@@johnrivard2857You really can't compare the AFX Mega G Plus to the Viper or Fusion, they are far superior. Next step up from AFX would be Bulldog or Jag, they are a good balance of performance and cost. The Base Viper VSPEC would be next after them.
