Excessive movement can allow the front tyres to contact the body during cornering, potentially compromising free wheel rotation and handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRemove the body and carefully adjust the front axle-height screws so the axle rotates freely while minimising unnecessary vertical movement. Reassemble the car and check that the front wheels turn freely without rubbing. As with any competition-oriented slot car, confirm gear mesh, tyre clearance and free drivetrain movement before extended running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTrack Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an analogue 1\/32 scale slot car.
