Spent a little time tuning this new car for our wood track. Not a lot of work to get them running pretty smoothly on the wood, but thought to share a few ideas.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"fronts\"<\/p>\n

After removing the chassis, my first step was the front axle. Using the Tire Razor I trued the wheels first and then installed the tires.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"fronts2\"<\/p>\n

I usually sand until the surface is smooth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perform the same step for the rear. Then I installed Paul Gage tires and trued.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"tires1\"<\/p>\n

The size and profile of this tire is to my liking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now for the chassis.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"chassis1\"<\/p>\n

The entire outside of the chassis gets sanded to allow it to clear the body. This helps in achieving a smooth body-to-chassis float.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"cusac8\"<\/p>\n

Removing the “lip” around the body post areas helps even more. Sometimes these are not aligned and the fit\u00a0is tight, preventing float.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"mountholes\"<\/p>\n

A rat-tail file does the trick.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"guide1\"<\/p>\n

Using the new CG Slotcars adaptor on this one. I combined it with a Sloting Plus guide. Sloting Plus makes outstanding quality guides and are half the price (or more) than other brands.<\/span><\/p>\n

Installing this is fairly easy. I install the guide with braid and then place the assembly into the chassis on a setup block. This gives me almost the prefect height. Then just a quick shot of Super Glue.<\/span><\/p>\n

I show this in an older article here<\/a> and the same applies.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"bonvacarrera7\"<\/p>\n

\"chassis2\"<\/p>\n

\"tunefin1\"<\/p>\n

\"tunefin2\"<\/p>\n

You can tune these cars to your standards very easily. We have been racing these on wood tracks and non-magnet on Carrera track for many years with these modifications and it really smooths them out. Could not think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
