2.48-2.51 our car most of cars 2.43-2.45 fastest 2.43

I made minor stealing and weight adjustments. I had it fairly well dialed in before I left home. DFW has 2.5 degree angle think maybe I should have used a 1.5 degree angle so it wold give more room for fine tuning the car. I was getting about1-2 inches in about 6 feet. When it went down the...

So tonight I checked the car in we were allowed 4 runs on the track to tune the car. Car has factory bsa nails and wheels with no modification to them not counting DFW bent and all polished and smooth. It ran 2.49 the fastest as usual same guy at 2.43. When my car hits the transition it...

I agree if he is to win he will be required to do it without cheating. I do appreciate all the advice I will keep it for the day they loosen the rules up some. No matter what he places he will have the best looking car there as he does every year. He is required to pick and sand the shape I...

Final specs of car and write up on how to paint it for those that want to know how to do it. The new front axle weight after the COM adjustment is .564 oz, car weight is 5 oz the wheelbase is 5.5 the weight before paint was very close to the final weight. I primed with a K200 style high build...

It is identical in hardness to the clear on almost all of todays automobiles. So you should be able to compare it to your everyday driver(car).

Thanks for catching the axle issue I will just take the stock BSA ones to my uncles machine shop and modify them to match the .092 axle dimensions w.r.t the undercut areas and head adjustments of course less the fact that they are not the same diameter. Its harder to put metal on than take it...

I was going to bend the rear axles I bought a press for it at the local BSA store. Time wise we got some but not an excess. I never cared much for fast just good looks but my son is of the opposite feelings regarding this he likes good looks but wants speed first. I can refinish the car with...

What is the part number on the can or an image if possible for JigALoo? I have a TSC and a Home Dept that cary different part numbers for this stuff. I just ordered the wheels and axles today. Thanks

In my opinion they are very competitive the same guys son wins 1st every year closely followed by his nephew. Top 5 breakdown from the last race: Place time speed(mph) 1st 2.4195 211.4 2nd 2.4333 210.2 3rd 2.4525 208.5 4th 2.4683 207.2 5th...

Here is the car for this year. Currently the car has a COM of .85 inches in front the rear axle. The weight at the front axle is .75 oz and the car with all wheels and axles is 5.000 oz total. Is this a good COM or should I try to move it back more? My son wanted raindrops this year.

This then leads me to one more question oil or graphite?

4 questions: 1)Which axle will give me the best performance .092 or .094 diameter? 2)If the axle is undercut to reduce friction should I bend the axles and set up for a rail rider or would this cause the wheel to have issues with the bore of the wheel hanging up on the grooved areas? 3)Our pack...
