I went to our District Derby Committee meeting tonight and they have decided that the cars must have 4 wheels touching. So, my son has to build a new car.
Does anyone have any advice on how to steer a 4toucher?
heck, i can barely get a 3toucher to make it down the track!

Tye,
I have heard, never done it, but set car body up to rail ride, take the non dominate wheel and enlarge the bore. This will take the load off that wheel but still appear to be touching. Then steer like a rail rider.
Be worth a try. If it doesn't work, set it up like Glenn suggested.

Glenn -
Would you can't all four wheels or just the rear wheels?
Would you offset the height of the front wheels to the rear wheels?
Thanks
