I took mine (uploaded on website) to kinko's I forget the actual price but it was 3 or 4x more to get it laminated (80$ total for the 5 foot). I going to guess and say it would be under 20$ for the full print out you can have them cut it shorter (what I did) it will be less. its less then 5$ for...

All you really need is a good graphite derbydad's is the best stuff I have used. From his site about the test's he has done hobby-lube or maximum velocity would be next best. I was using stuff from winderby but its not nearly as good as derbydad I can hear a difference instantly when switching...

My brother has the same problem in his district with 4 boys winning year after year. They said we will be changing the rules to "level the playing field"..He said instead of changing rules how abut teaching them how to go faster "to level the playing field"? ...can you do a class for us? YES...

I made mine earlier this year, did the same thing tuning print out sandwiched between wood and glass. Its to the 5 foot line (62 in)

my process is very similar to duck of all trades small qtip and drill. I use a graphite I got from winderby (I have a lot of it not as good as dd4h) to start the burnishing. Then I use dd4h graphite and repeat the process. I add more after putting the wheel give it 1 spin test. If its not very...

I was going to say the same thing as debydentist the weight notch at the back is on the wrong side.

I was at a race in twin falls and there was someone there with a fast car he said he got help from a pro in Pocatello, at there district race my nephews car got 1st and the other kids car got 3rd just barely. I think he they would have went with a wedge body they might have placed 1 and easy...

Here in Utah there are 2 a 4 lane best track and a yellow plastic track. They rent for 100$ I just about got 1 but I live in an apartment and don't have space to store it. They do 30-80+ races a year. I would go with the best track and it's timer. I should mention I guy in Idaho has been using...

I use these for my K-house i do it by hand. not a easy thing to do AT ALL. i found putting the axle in the pro press makes it a lot easier then pinching it in my fingers. https://www.harborfreight.com/diamond-rotary-cutting-discs-5-pc-69657.html
