They are pretty good but they will not allow for canting of the rear wheels. Does rail running still work ok with non-canted rear wheels?

It will work.

Still need to cant the front wheel. However you can even just toe-in the front wheel without canting it. Might be better off just narrowing the front of the car.

That's what I was thinking W....my son has been watching some of the videos at PDDR. He likes the cars with fenders, go figure.

pony: Don't over heat the axle. I did that once too and I had to resand the axle. Two seconds of the flame is all I did. I hold the axle in the drill chuck, heat it then immediately spin it against the silly putty. I then wipe the axle down by hand. Feb 23, 2018 22:02:58 GMT -7

pony: I do the same technique with the hard ski waxes which I use a lot. You can heat the axle or if you don't want to use the heat just hold the hard ski wax against the spinning axle. Use high speed. The ski wax transfers by friction and the heat of the spin. Feb 23, 2018 22:06:02 GMT -7

pony: Remember though you still need some form of silicone on the axle after the ski wax. Plastics on steel always needs silicone. I don't have the technical know how to do a video and post it. It's the same process as polishing compounds and polishing wheels. Feb 23, 2018 22:09:47 GMT -7
