Choices, choices choices... Yes, all an experiment! The axle poilishing or not, or to what level, yes, been around for a while. I guess thats where we all have to try and test and determine out own path. I do understand the discussion. The answer may depend on what you do after the polishing. Cheers!
@@Bugwood_Diecast_Racing Sharing what I learned that works. Learning from my mistakes, experimenting with new ideas, make your cars go faster. Make jokes and have fun at the same time. New ideas welcomed and may be on the next video my friend. Thank you.
An odd way to narrow the choices from five to three. Got something against British cars, Bill? 😉 I know, it's a random observation that's got your attention for the moment. Polishing the axles to the point no graphite will stick to them 🤔 I can't offer anything there, that's out of my depth. I have seen now and again stock cars get faster lap times over built cars on the same track, just often enough to make one question is it worth the effort honing every skill in the process. I think ultimately it is worth it; we build our selves along the journey, too. _A Fistful of Dollars_ 1964. A good excuse to look up the final showdown on YT again
Thanks Chris. Ya, just a random observtion that makes one go Hmmm. Going to build all, test all. THEN check the wheels and axles on the fastest. Not what I said in the video i understand. Pretty sure I sent you a sneak peek of my Supra at Bay City for the Top 3 Turvy. If not, let me know, The Tangerine and White Supra. Correct quote.
What the heck? Is my camera on? I just sat down and here you are. Your answer is NO. Placement is important but is different for each car. i will be showing front to rear balance instead. Left to right balance is also important also. I only have 2 scales. If you need to know more, I have videos on that. Thanks for asking. I strive for a 45/55 front to rear. 53/47 is better.
@@g-mc4507 Hey! Nice to hear from you. Thank you. My last weight was wrong. I wrote 45/55 F to Rear, and meant to say 47 front, 53 rear. Sorry about that. Many believe 50/50 but that is not easy to do many times. My ideas come from Pinewood derby races. However, open track poses many more challenges. Build a test track if you can.
I meant the Mazda on 3Dbotmaker. Sorry about that. I got excited.

New to your channel but interesting for sure
Just having fun and sharing. Thank you. Let's laugh together.
I agree, having fun what is all about?

As long as they dont wobble on the track!
Going to test them all anyway. Thanks.

build them all.. see what one is fastest ;)
That is the plan. Final white paint is drying. Fastest gets decals and/or paint. Thanks.
Will you be showing your weight placement in these cars for the race?

@@sstdiecastracing2372 lol. That was a good video. The two scale method looks like the way to go.
