^^^ care to explain? I used a goat boy drill fixture with a pin vise to drill holes.

So despite our wiggly rear end we still won every race of the day, and now havent lost a race in two years. Which of course, as scout racing goes, brought plenty of rumors of cheating and talk about how I built the entire car myself and my son didnt help. (not true of course) But thats how it...

Neat!

Our pack is currently having issues getting GP to talk to our Fast Track timer. I left there an hour ago and they still hadn't figured it out and the race is in the morning.

Let see some pictures!

So rough, but still ok results from todays test runs. Sent it down the track and the rear end was all over the place. Not good. Made small increase in steer. Second run, same thing. Made large increase in steer. Ran much more stable, but I knew I had put a huge amount of steel on it. Took a...

Here's a good question. Is it possible to rail run with 4 wheels touching the ground and how would you alter your setup to run like this?

Any last minute tips about what I should be looking for when we get our test runs tonight?

^^^ Haha, if someone goes faster than us I am going to strike up a conversation about cheating because we've won 3 years in a row without ever rail running. This is by far the most aggresive setup we have ever run. I am already dubbed a cheater for winning our age group 3 years in a row, even...

^^^ Wow, thats a lot tighter than I would have ever thought. You guys are a wealth of information. I really do appreciate the fact that so many people on this site share their knowledge to help others out. Its really great!

Well, I think I've done about all I can. Its all together.I think I've got the steering thing down. Getting around 3" over my 40" I'm not sure theres much else I can do. The car isnt quiet going down the mirror. The rear drivers side wheel sounds like is has a flat. I tried swaping axles and...

Ok. So not much then I guess. Maybe like an inch I'm guessing. I'll just play around with it tonight. Thanks!

So how much of an incline do I use when setting up my crappy mirror/tuning board? Blah. I'm starting to get nervous about this build and the race. Stupid little cars give me too much anxiety. Lol.

Ahh ok. Thank you. I'm only gonna get one, maybe two runs down a track before the race so I don't expect to be able to do much besides a small fdw tweak. Weight placement tuning is out of my league right now.

Question for 5 kids. I read your site a lot and I have a question about pictures of your weight pockets for tungsten cubes. Why do you cut such a large pocked in front of the rear axle. My body is thin, but not hollowed out. I have 12 cubes behind the axle and 10 right in front to hit 5.0 oz...
