[C38] Well I got the pins out of each end of the track. ...

[Max Soto]

Hi Ken,

The original cars are Nicro Fico. Not available anymore, but maybe
rigrite.com will have some. They do have control end block from schaefer
that will fit our track. My last boat, a Spirit 28 had the same track and
smaller. Rig Rite sent me the new control ends and they were totally
different, but very easy to install, so I asume that they might have the
bigger version for our old tracks.

You are right about the bolts. They are the largest 1/4" bolts that I have
ever seen!!!  In order to replace the car and control ends you don't need to
remove the track.
