. Motor cavity of frame is filled with an average of 3 oz.. of lead and shaped to fit motor
. Frames are custom machined to accept certain shells or represent certain protoypes (where applicable)
. Powerful, low current draw can motor is attached to modified frame with urethane foam tape (to absorb vibration)
. Custom made precision brass flywheels with Athearn couplings are fitted to motor shafts
. Flexible multistranded wire is hand soldered to motor leads for trouble free electrical continuity with motor to truck connection made with removable spade tabs
. Motor to chassis ground eyelet is pressed into predrilled hole in chassis for reliable conductivity
. Athearn trucks are disassembled and the components are closely inspected, adjusted and fine tuned prior to reassembly
. Labelle #102 and #106 lubricants are applied to all drive components where needed
