Hi -

Does anyone have a view they are willing to share on appropriate gaps between wheel and body? Set up follows:

Thin (5/16) rail runner with 3 wheels touching.
Rear wheels drilled for 3 degree cant
DFW drilled straight, bent axle for adjusting drift
wheel base 4 1/2''. (I know that's odd, but it's the maximum wheel base allowed in pack rules)

Track is a 42 foot Best track in good condition.

The gap can be set anywhere from .005'' to .02''. Does anyone find it advantageous to set different gaps between the rears and DFW? My son asked for advice tonight and I realized I didn't have an informed view one way or the other.

Thanks for any and all info y'all are willing to share!
