The positive camber on the fdw is done for 2 reasons... one the wheel rides on the stiff outer edge of the wheel and two so the contact between the wheel and the rail is at one point on the inside lip of the wheel. Both reduce friction.... In theory you could skip cutting the body back 1/16" because of the pos cant on the dfw and the neg cant on the rear. Those cants would bring the fdw towards the rail and the rear away. I wouldn't because I want more clearance than that.... any small wiggle may cause the rear to hit the rail and I don't want that so I would still cut back the dfw.

Ed,
It was a last minute decision and I thought what the heck. Afterwards I had a mountain of lathe curls laying around, I could have made a nice black delrin wig:) Besides, it was Delrin Achme gave me... So even if he isn't racing right now a piece of his kindness is going to be running down the track.
Scuber,
The body was made the 5Kids way... I call it the "give it a try and maybe it will work out" body.

It's Delrin! Sad thing is I didn't have any small Delrin stock... that started out 1-1/4" round:)

if the retainers are Cloaked (i-n-v-i-s-i-b-l-e) - what is the function of the white material on the axle? Is it a bushing for the wheel? It matches the leading edge of the car............... (white) Right now I have about a $30,000 engine lathe I use for the wheels. Overkill!!! LOLI am just hoping Santa will bring a digital readout for my lathe...

Cool! Love the i-n-v-i-s-i-b-l-e retainers!
How come everytime I write "i-n-v-i-s-i-b-l-e" it changes it to Cloaked? Weird... I feel like I am in Harry Potter land or something:)

For general maintenance and keeping everything clean, rust-free, moving and lubricated an exceptional machinist.... said to use CRC 3-36.. I looked online , but I don't see where there is a specific requirement for Proxxon equipment.

We are going to try and get out on the river and do some boating tomorrow if the storms hold off. The Mississippi is back in it's banks so I think I'll try and flip some kids off the tube. Hope you all have a great day.
