Start with his T-jet Gear Puller. This has it over any others for several reasons. First is its construction. Toss it around. This little baby can take a lot of pounding,. Toss it into your travel box, and don't think about it again till you get to the race. The other advantage is that it is designed specifically for a T-jet gear plate, and it works on both the armature pinion, and the driven gear. Most other systems only handle the pinion. At $15, this is a must for any serious T-jet racer, or even the guy who just wants to change some arms or gears to see what he can achieve. It also saves on those precious gears because you can replace the ones you remove this way. Not an option when you crow-bar them off with a screw driver,

Second is the T-jet Wheel & Retainer Puller. Again made with the same durable material, and design of the gear puller. It also could be used on more than just T-jets. One thing we especially liked about this one is that the pin is concave (where it pushes on the end of the axle). If you ever tried removing a wheel from an AFX Magnatraction rim with other pullers that have flat pin ends, they tend to slip off the edge because the axle end is so rough. This one gives you a firm bite on it. Priced at $12.95 each.

The Standard T-jet Front End set ($8.00) are very nicely done. They include what appears to be standard Thunderjet front rubber. What sets these apart is the clever retaining system to hold the wheel on, without needing a wheel press. It works because the wheels are placed on a brass tube, and held in place by brad-like pins that easily fit into each end. These are free-wheel design, and double flanged. Their is also a set of bushings included, to reduce friction where the wheel might rub on the chassis. Front wheels may be purchased separately for $6.

For the Fray style racer they have the Pro II Front End ($20.00). At that price, this is for the more serious racer. They again incorporate the same design as the standard wheel sets, but they are designed to mount at 1 5/16 width, and because of their barrel shape, they weigh in at a heafty 4.6 grams, which is great for adding that forward ballast in Fray cars. The tires that come with these are probably more suited for a routed track because of their firmness and their diameter. Lowest profile we've ever seen. There was a need for some guide pin shaving for our lock and joiner track. Nothing critical, though, and easy enough to do. We think it might be better to sacrafice a little weight and width, and use the bushings found on the skinnier model.

We didn't receive, nor did we see on the site, a set of wide rear whels, but we did get the rubber that would fit nicely on a pair of Wizzard or Hobby Pros. Ground Silicone Tires ($2/pr) at .378, really slammed our car down to the ground. This is excellent "rubber". Very soft and sticky. You would need a clean track to realize the full potential, because, as is the case with the better tires, they're dirt magnets.
