I have a sanding block and had no idea what it was for. Thanks, SO Much!

[@CleaveTech]

Very welcome!

[@immanutt4442]

Sir your attention to detail is way above the norm that we had learned

[@markernestfox]

Love all your tips James.
I have built and raced on and off for over 50 years and really appreciate how you disseminate your knowledge and passion to all racers old and new.

[@CleaveTech]

Thanks for watching Mark. Glad you are enjoying the videos 👍🏻😁

[@grahamlane8506]

Brilliant video and excellent advice. I know a lot of racers will say this level of preparation is not necessary, but I challenge them to race you!

[@markernestfox]

You can never 'over prepare'

[@markwitham1124]

Thanks James - such a good example of ‘attention to detail’.

[@CleaveTech]

Thanks Mark.

[@27Fan4Ever]

Thank you for taking the time to share this information with us.

[@CleaveTech]

Thank you for liking and leaving a positive comment. There will be more to come next week 😁.

[@27Fan4Ever]

@@CleaveTech Looking forward to it. Best wishes.

Really useful "how to" guide. Cheers Jim.

[@CleaveTech]

Thanks Ian. Hope it reinforces what we went through a few years ago at the slot festival 👍🏻

[@kevinmcmanis7335]

Great Info! Now I need to apply this to all my cars, and future builds! I've got some work to do. Lol.

[@CleaveTech]

Using a well moulded guide to start with reduces the preparation time.

Can you please provide the link for setting up racing braid? Thanks.

[@CleaveTech]

Hi Ron. There will be a video on preparing and setting up braid in the near future. The next video is about lead wires 🤫 .

[@rkautomotivedetailing4059]

Glad to see I already do most of this after learning from people like yourself over the years to improve my build standards. One question, where or who produces the guide spacing tool with the diamond coating? Thanks

[@CleaveTech]

Thanks for watching the videos. I am in the process of producing a guide tool for sale 👍🏻

[@rkautomotivedetailing4059]

@@CleaveTech excellent, keep me posted as I will have one :-)

[@grahamlane8506]

Me too please!

[@CleaveTech]

@@grahamlane8506 I will put you on the list 👍🏻

[@waynethomas3781]

I also would like to have one too

[@billffromnh]

Do you ever boil your guides in water first to relieve any casting stresses that may have occurred during the molding process?

[@CleaveTech]

I have heard about people boiling their guides but haven’t felt the need to do it myself. I used Cahoza guides for many years before switching to HP and the occasional Red Fox guide to benefit from the longer guide.

[@27Fan4Ever]

We used to boil and dye guides back in the days of the Jet Flag, but haven’t heard of any of the current generation of guides needing it.

[@glueside]

Where did you get the tool at the end?

[@CleaveTech]

I got it from a friend who had a couple specially made. You could make your own from an old guide tongue and a bit of wet and dry paper.

[@RD-hh3dm]

I keep watching your videos and I find them very entertaining. Great work! Just one thing I have to mention, the intro noise is really bad. Please change the intro sound.

[@CleaveTech]

Thanks for watching. The “Intro noise” is made from recording different motors being revved up. I have reduced the volume a little. I will be updating my intro soon, so thanks for the feedback 👍🏻

[@glueside]

The second guide threader is a Magnahone.

[@CleaveTech]

Thanks Jeff. I am lead to believe that they are not made anymore.

[@glueside]

@@CleaveTech I believe you are 100% correct, but you can get lucky and find one or two here and there. Never give them up!!!
