Hey, I seem to be having some difficulty accessing the DD4H web site. I heard you say you were updating things. Any Idea when it will be active ? Thanks Jup

8:00 for the Jersey Shore. Did you send in ? Not sure I have enough to get by anybody this month. Best of luck if so.

Finals tomorrow night. Good Luck Everybody.

NOO, treadmill ever. Just load tap & spin, you can run it down the tuning board several times just to get things smoothed out. Sometimes good enough is good enough ;)

You can pick up a 6 step nail buffer @ any CVS or Walgreens. We have used the same graphite prep over 3 months, 1 race each month of 8 laps each before the prep gave up. Just add graphite, tap & spin till it comes thru. Like T-Bone said, clean up the treads & work as clean as you can. The good...

You can use CA glue around the axle holes & polish that. "nothing mounted between the body & wheel", if that's how the rules read. Sounds like your going to have a good one. Good Luck, Jup.

I built a basic jig to hold a 3/8 block, cut the pockets & sand it down almost to size then seal it. We also use a Dremel tool with a router attachment & 1/8" straight router bit, making a few passes to get the depth desired. It's a lot easier to deal with than a full on router. We aren't...

Sounds like you didn’t leave enough wood to support itself & there might not be a simple fix. Depending on ladder body or full plank routed out. Once you get past a 1/4 inch thick or past 12-15 g you start getting into the danger zone. You need to keep in mind that stiffness is important & we...

We removed an area about.080. However big the edge of an orange round stone disks are. Remember to clean up that area, it will be rough

I’m running BSA Elite axles on my outlaw car. I chucked them up in a drill & touched in a groove with a dremel grinding stone. They polish out so nice you don’t lose any size.

Nice execution of concept.

Send them in to a league race & get a time, then you have a baseline for the future.

If you have a hobby drill press, chuck up the axle run it on slow. You can see it. Sometimes you run across a race that won’t allow bent axles or wants 4 wheels touching & the bad ones can come in handy. Just sayin

Yep it will wick in, add 1 good heavy drop to the outside & spin it in at medium speed a few strokes. If you can get to the inside hub do the same, if not add 2 to the outside. Try not to add so much that it’s slinging out, that’s unnecessary. It takes a bit to creep in there. DD4H, lightning...

DerbyDad4Hire, or Derby Evolution can get it to you. Both are in Utah. Standard shipping might only be 2 days
