Read by some on other forums to achieve the best alignment that the car should run straight going forward and backward. For the sake of information, let us assume the car is not going to be running the rail.
Any value to doing this or is it just fine to tune going the direction it will actually run? Guess I do not see the big picture point of aligning while running in reverse.
I align our car with only the two back wheel on. Then I add the lifted wheel and align these three. Then I add the dominant front wheel and align. I am not to the stage of building or setting up a car that rides the rail. We are targeting a straight running car.
I will note this is the first year I have spent any time teaching my son the concept of aligning and actually aligned using a "process" on any of his cars. This is our third year in Scouts. Trying to build our skill level each year. My Bear Scout did place second in his pack and qualified for districts. Goal accomplished ... win a "big trophy" in our pack.
His car was dropped during staging on the track and broke the front nose off, one rear wheel and axle broke loose including a nice chunk of wood holding the axle in place and another wheel took some nice nicks on the tread and inside rim.
Built a second car identical to the primary for the district race. Will see which is fastest after aligning tonight or tomorrow. Primary car lost speed after the damage.
Thank you.
