Even some of the coolest slot cars in our hobby can use some tuning. I will be showing the methods used for our wood track at home, but a lot of it should help you for any track surface.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I’ll make one thing very clear before we begin:<\/span><\/p>\n

We will use as much of the stock components of the original car as possible.<\/strong> <\/span>Just replacing all the gear with brand new wheels, axles, gears…etc is easily enough done. We will make that investment of course over time. But for now? These rather simple modifications will deliver a much improved Bowtie.<\/span><\/p>\n
