[QUOTE="scratch, post: 666033, member: 1674"] The wheels and axles are key to winning. Dry graphite is the only lubricant allowed. We would polish the axles or use a very fine grit sandpaper to get the axles as smooth as possible. You also need to to smooth the wheels down too, the molds for them and the axle nails are a little rough. Five ounce weight limit, use as much as possible. We would weigh all the cars on a digital scale. Some of the cars looked professionally built, which is ridiculous. The boy should paint and decide the shape of the car. We used to have a seperate race for adults. I have built or helped build dozens of these things. I won Best Of Show in an adult division, I got pretty good with a Dremel tool. I need to post a few pics of them. [/QUOTE]
