the two magnets behind the screws, right and left of the guidingarm.push them down only a little bit, and it will bring more magnetforce that holds the arm straighter.so you can reduce the frontaxle,,dancing,,.

Dear Rex, I have to confess that I had no idea what the side magnets were for. I also have experienced "high speed shimmy". Soon as weather permits , will try what you suggested. Ken

hi, i looked at the fotos from kellerkind.its a realy nice and clean work ,but i think the frontaxle will not work correct. the tires are to big, the point from outside of the tire to the turnpoint of the axle is to far away. if there is an impact on the outside of the tire, it will loose the wire.we have no slot , only a magnet, so the front has built so that all forces from outside (rough track)will be minimized or eliminated. i was thinking about building a new axle but with my poor toolequipment it would by very difficult. fortunely the bodys i have taken fits to the original frontaxle. at 190 i am nearly exact on the axleturnpoint and its smooth. at the bmw i am a little bit on the outside and its not so smooth. i have to think it over, how i can get the place where the wheel stands on the track, and the axleturnpoint get near together.

decaling was the hell ,every stripe is one little piece. now inside, windows and details. i have 4 original cars, the monster and 2 rolling chassis in 1:24, without rc eqipment. i am waiting for my tax repay from i.r.s. its a little bit and my wife said i am allowed to spend it in magracing. my modular track has to be finished, because my straights are to short to test full speed. whats new at your amazing outdoortrack? waiting for the hill section. think it will be a lot of work, but it will look fantastic like the rest. may the MAGNETforce be with you.
