[Ky.Slot Racer]

what are we racing for....

[Ecbill]

Having trouble complying with the rule that all 4 tires touch the track. It seems like all of the AW and JL Tjet chassis have the front driver's wheel raised up off the ground.


Even with the pick up shoes, springs, guide pin and screw removed, they don't want to sit flat on the track. Is it some sort of factory flaw?

[Ky.Slot Racer]

yes this is just something you can`t do much about, unless you make a jig of some sort to strap the chassis to, and use hot water to heat it. Even then, they tend to sometimes revert back to wonky. Both of mine were straightened, the dodge had already started to twist back b4 I sent it. Best I could do with these products, so it is what it is. BTW, this is only 1 of the many flaws these JL AW products have, The Dash, or original Aurora tjet are a much better racer IMO,and the price is about the same with some searching.

this probably being the most noticeable issue, however like the bigger cars with magnets, this isn't such a problem to play with, as the magnet pulls the chassis to the track which in turn masks most of the problem. But once the magnet comes out, hold on tight ! This also can be addressed somewhat by peening the axle holes, but again this is a temporary fix.

[TuscoTodd]

To be honest, I haven't really run into this issue as the axles have typically been so loose in the axle holes that any twist has been masked. However, one option you can employ to get all four tires on the ground (which will definitely improve the handling) is to install a larger o-ring on the front wheel that is "in the air" (I've done this with the traditionally twisted #4 Aurora chassis). Hope that helps!

[Austin]

This is all in fun. Maybe next time we will use Dash chassis,.

[Ecbill]

Finally got my entry off in the mail with all 4 wheels touching the ground. Coming USPS Priority,and should arrive early next week.

Car is a 67 Cougar not painted the match any actual Trans-Am car but to replicate my 1st real car, which was a 67 Cougar. Of course mine didn't have number on the door but I sure drove it like it did.

After several years of drag racing exclusively, it's fun going around corners for a change.

Looking forward to the racing.

Sorry for holding things up.

Austin -
Last night after doing a little fun running at APalmer's track - had another two builders commit to join the action! So it will now be five cars coming from Ohio!
:D
(still planning on having those arrive at your place before the end of the month)
