    Axle polishing for graphite

    I also go to 12,000. ngyoung- I have used those same papers from Hobby Lobby and noticed they leave a film. They work fine, you just have to really clean your axles good with alcohol when done. Good to see you on here Dew!

    What axle do you use for graphite?

    They don't pull the axles, but they check the heads. You can't see my tips because I epoxy my slots and drill holes.

    What axle do you use for graphite?

    To groove or not to groove. What size? This is son's final year, last year he was District Webelos 1 champ, but lost the grand championship. We have never won a District Grand Championship and this year we want it! We can't use oil, I am a much better oil racer than graphite. Graphite is so...
