Ouch  Well at least the rules are enforced (or so it seems)... You have to have all 4 wheels touching and flat to the ground. You can make a car go straight like this no problem. Thoughts: Use Hob-e-lube as graphite. Place COM between 1 inch to 3/4 inch (Needs to be less agressive because car is going to be a tad harder to align) You are going to need to use cubes. If you use a disc it will intefer with the slots... Or use melted lead. place the cubes behind and in front of the axle. likely one row behind will get you balancing right. Keep the cubes as tightly grouped as possible to keep the weight concentrated. Keep the car 3/8" thin (possibly 5/16" thin) taper car between front axle and bumper... align align align!!!! |

Reading the second link. That does seem to allow the new wheels... As the revell parts are the new wheels...
You can get the car to roll straight. We can talk you through it if needed.
The rules allow extra wheels to be used... That means you can match wheel sets. #8 wheels are suppose to be pretty good on the new wheels...
To align test:
Push all wheels in and roll car forward and back observe wheel movement.
then push all wheels to axle heads and repeat...
Post the results and we can help you align the car...
Pity the rules dont allow many favorite tricks...

Thanks fore the advice.
Thats what i thought.
I cant wait to see how the rules are enforced.
i was wondering about drilling out the ndfw so it would sit on the track but carry no weight.
But it also said wheels should not be to loose.
back to aligning.
Thanks again.

Silly rules! All subject to the official. No real specs to actually follow or measure. Like - can't have too loose of wheels! What does that mean really?! And - all wheels must touch evenly?! Are they going to weight the load of each wheel? How about the use of the word "should". I hate this word! That can be taken differently by many people. Like " Oh your weight shouldn't be hanging below the body so you are DQ'd" Or "your weight shouldn't be hanging below the body but it looks like it will work" What about using mercury for weight! Everyone uses mercury! LOL. You let 100 kids insert their own axles in the slots and 90 of them will have one wheel off the track and canted!
