Hi, I was wandering how the FDW reacts against the rail and the reason for pos cant. I`m guessing it is to level the wheel as it contacts the rail as 0 cant will cause the wheel to tilt neg cant. And does it have to do with how the angle of the inside tread rubs against the rail maybe to reduce friction. I`m tuning a car and want to know what part of the tread should contact the track after settling on the rail. I ran the car down my practice track with pos cant and noticed the outsid edge of the tread has wear from contacting the track. Is this what you want or do you want the wheel to lay flat against the track after settling on the rail? The car is the fastest We`ve produced as tested against our other cars. I think more speed can be found though through tweaking the dfw pos cant. Am I right, wrong or even close. Help me understand this plz! Thank you

Is it also the majority opinion to sand the inner wheel edge , that rubs the rail, flat as to reduce further friction by making it a smaller contact point?
