4 wheels touching and rushing oil

[JohnnytotheC]

Hey all, first post. Tons of great info here, thanks to everyone who contributes their time and knowledge to help us newcomers get up to speed.

I have found lots of info about why 3 wheels and rail-riding is the fastest way to go but our rules say all 4 tires must be in contact with a flat surface. I haven’t been able to find any videos/articles/threads that are beginner friendly about how to make a 4 wheeled rail rider. Any recommended resources?

Reading through the forum, it seems that going with oil is the way to go but our weigh-in is in 10 hours for a race that is 3 weeks away (really?!). Is it worth it use oil if I don’t have the full time to go through the 4 step process (that I have seen referenced many times here but haven’t seen outlined)?

Thanks for your help!

There is a video to demonstrate how to tune a 4-wheel car in the premium section of this site.
