Still learning and asking questions. When I read about "Cone Inner Hub and Remove outer step" what exactly is that and what is the benifit. Can you have the above done and run standard nail axles or should I use performance axles?

Coning the inner hub means putting a cone shape around the hub surface. OR "rounding it off more than it already is". This was extremely important on OLD BSA wheels that were perfectly flat.. In the last 2 years BSA made new molds for their wheels and now the inner hub has a cone on it. It can still be coned a little more, but the cone on it out of the box is pretty darn good! By polishing it well ( including the bore), you can have some fast wheels right out of the box!
The new wheel also has 2 steps in the outer hub, it used to be flat "single step". For the scout dad who wants to do no work, this has allowed him to make a slightly faster car than 2 years ago because the nibs on the scout axle will rub less if there is no prep done to them. By trueing the outer hub (making it perfectly flat all the way around instead of having 2 steps in it" and putting a slight chamfer on the underside of the axle head, you can greatly reduce friction.
I know I haven't put the best explanation here, but if you search vendors sites and look at the wheels for sale you will find pics that show you what I'm talking about. I know there are more posts on here about this subject also.
