Tweaking Auto World Slot Cars - Anybody?

Hafa Adai Slot Car Friends!

First of all, Please don't be shy to register on this Blog, I need some help here at times too!.  I'm just a loan racer out here in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.!

This time I have a question.  I need help with my AW T-Jets.  I really like these cars, especially since they're not glued to the track with strong traction magnets; they can be very fun to race.

I noticed though that some drive much better than others, and some drive really poor. I've tried replacing the tires with silicones, lowering the body height, but nothing seems to work.

Is there something I'm missing here? Is there a way to tune these babies up, or tweak them to run a little better?

Thanks for the input!

Adios!

  1. Okay, so there is light at the end of the tunnel. These cars can be tweaked, and actually quite a bit. My friend from SCI has put the light in the tunnel for me. I'll post some of his tips - very helpful. Be back shortly

  2. Okay, here it is guys, the most complete "basic" tuning tips I've seen for pancake motors. Check out this link from Pshoe64 on the
    SCI forum: The first link is part 1, and the second is Part 2. Awesome stuff, I couldn't wait to share it with you!
