CORRECT PROCEDURE FOR ASSEMBLING MOTOR

Slide ARMATURE BEARING #M113 on each end of shaft. Be sure thin flanges are to outside.
Push GEAR #M119 to commutator end of shaft. Make sure armature bearing is free with a little play, then snap this entire assembly into CHASSIS #C141 as shown.
Place MOTOR TERMINAL CLIP #C142 to side of chassis between plastic ribs. Turn chassis upside down and insert PICKUP SHOE #C148. Repeat for other side. Pickup shoes will hold terminal clip in place.
Insert BRUSH #M106 into SPRING #M107 and then into BRUSH SCREW #M118. This unit is then screwed through slot of terminal clip into hole of chassis. Make sure screw is tight against terminal clip for contact.

A dab of light grease to each axle, motor shaft and gears are required every few hours of running to keep cars running free. HINT: Do NOT use excessive amounts of lubricants as any grease or oils on commutators or brushes will slow down your slot cars considerably.

Keep slot car track roadway clean by wiping with dry soft cloth. Static electricity will attract lint to axles and gears causing improper performance and possible damage. HINT: For best results do NOT run any slot car set directly on carpet.

Atlas produced their version of the Panther XX Chassis in 1964. Almost five (5) years before Aurora introduced their version. Atlas planned on using this chassis with their entire line, but eventually issued it mainly with their popular line of F1 Kit Cars calling it the PANTHER XX. Aurora used this chassis on only three (3) models. The most popular were the Model Motoring 1932 Ford Pickup Trucks which were injection molded in red, orange, yellow, lime green, and blue. The other two (2) slotcars Aurora Model Motoring produced with their SLIMLINE chassis were the Formula One F1 racers. The red McLaren BRM and the green Repco Brabham. Let me assure you, as I did with the Atlas standard chassis, that each stock Atlas PANTHER XX chassis meets or exceeds the stock Aurora SLIMLINE chassis on many different levels.
