    Rail rider - using a body guide instead of the wheel?

    Good to know. I figured there was something in the dynamics of the wheel vs the rail that I was missing. I know from decades back in my physics classes that the surface of the wheel vs the track doesn't have any dynamic friction, but I wasn't sure how the angle of the wheel vs the rail would...

I've been thinking about friction points and how to minimize them, and had a thought about the contact point against the rail. I tried to research it, but I...
