DD4H Block...do I need to shave off one side?

[DuckOfAllTrades]

Hi Everyone,

I recently purchased a Dynasty Plug N Play Wedge from DD4H. Does anyone know if there is a need to shave one side? I'm leaning towards not doing it, because I'm sure it is tuned to not rub the rails right out of the box, but will it help?

Thanks in advance.

I purchased one last year, I believe the talon and i am pretty sure 1 side was cut down already. Not sure if that is true for every body.

You can also use a pair of calipers to confirm

Thanks DD4H! Straight from the source. While I have your ear, I built the cars last night with the help of my kids. When we got them together, they drift at different rates, not the same.

What should be the appropriate drift? My goal is to get them equal so none of my kids have an advantage going into the race! I'll try to adjust the one that is off to match perfectly.

When pressing in axles on Plug N Play you can change it. Just make sure they have at least 3" in 4 feet. The time differences will be minimal and without track testing you won't know which one is faster. They should be very close either way.

Thanks again! When I received the package, one of the back corners all the way to the axle hole was broken off, just floating in the box. I'm sure it's nothing you did, but USPS handling! I was able to glue it back on and clamp it no problem. But on the same side while carefully inserting the axle, the wall between the weight pocket and axle slot broke off. I wasn't able to fix this. I just had to lay the axle in the drilled hole and epoxy it in as best I could. I'm worried that is where some of the problem is coming in.
