Guide Depth

if i`m building a chassis from brass I design it so the braid holds the front wheels off the ground just enough to spin. Plastic chassis same, I shim or add the b nova to lower it. So for me as much as I can get into the groove without draging the bottom.

If you race without magnets your cars will handle better if the front wheels are firmly planted at all times. The only exception to that might be if you are using a chassis with a very low center of gravity. You need to get the bottom of the guide flag blade as close to the bottom of the slot as possible. With a few cars you can add a spacer to get the guide deeper in the slot without lifting the front wheels off of the track. I use Slot.it wood track guides and trim them as needed. Those guides fit a lot of cars without having to modify the chassis.

Hey Rick
If you can sand down the fronts to lower the front end, is it possible to lower the front axle? Just a thought....
