I ran into the same scenario last year with Districts. I attempted your idea. I bent rear axles about 1.5 deg and tried to use canted holes drilled at 2.5 deg. I could not get rear alignment where I wanted it. I had access to a track and tested. I could not get rid of rear wiggle. No matter how...

Just curious...do you guys build cars with the DFW on the same side everytime?

You are correct! I edited post. I copied and pasted wrong page of catalog. The precision lathes are too expensive. I finally found one in stock and price was....woooo hoooooo expensive for a hobby. LOL

Does anyone have any experience with this model? Has anyone tried trying axles/ wheels with it? I cannot find tolerances for spindle. EDIT: Proxxon PD 250/E http://www.proxxon.com/en/micromot/24002.php

Pack race was held today. Track, according to Troop leader, is a 15yo 6-lane wooden track, with a laminate top, 44 ft long. I got to look closely at track during break, connection seams were rough and not even. I could tell from side where I was seated, the track was not level lengthwise...

I have a GB axle bender. I cannot locate instructions. How to set tool for different degrees... Can anyone help? TIA Chris

I was in a hurry typing this and I guess my mind on other things. You are correct. I did not use Legends on axles. I used DD4H zero-friction axle polish. My mistake in typing.

Can you explain this a little more? Curious about your results with Pledge - worse or just no improvement? What was your application technique (spray then wait and wipe or no wipe off)? With Pledge I saw no improvements over no Pledge pre-treatment. I have 2 test cars. First ran 12 heats with...

Has anyone ever tested this product---"Blaster" Graphite Dry Lube?? Thought about trying it. But if someone has tested it, I will not waste my time. I thought of trying it along with DD4H graphite. I am not seeing positive results using Pledge. The new Pledge doesn't contain the word polish...

We were the fastest car today of 80+ cars. 49' wooden track Graphite 12 heats 3.215 fastest time Won by .022 sec total avg time

I may have figured something out. With more time last night, I went back to the tuning board. Like I mentioned before, the right rear wants to walk in after about 2ft down the board. I believe the problem is the bent front axle. With the bend I cannot get the gap on DFW close enough to body...

Both sets are DD4H 92 BSA axles. The body is a 1/2 ladder design covered with 1/32" Basswood plywood on top. 3 light oats of Duri-Color Automotive primer, sanded smooth. 2 coats of Duri-Color paint. Paint added 0.2 oz weight. Covered the weight pockets with vinyl tape.
