Aftermarket Wheels and axles give very limited gains

Bending and polishing the axles, wall riding and weight placement are where the money is at...

Also if you can make the front a little tacky without getting caught, do that lol

Yes... I know this. I've built dozens of these f'n cars over the last 8 years or so for my kids... And they're not aftermarket when you do it yourself, right? Plus, limited gains is what makes a winning car.

Bending and polishing the axles,

our scout troop checked each car to ensure all 4 wheels touched FULLY and there was no camber action going on. if only 3 touched or they ran on the edges or the wheels had been filed down, it was disqualified

eta polishing the nails and sanding wheels is ok
