Purpose
The intent of this document is to give advice to newcomers to the Slot Car Clubs on preparation and tuning of their cars for best performance and reliability. Having a well-prepared car will allow you to beat 90% of your opponents before you even get on the track!
This document describes the things I do to my own cars (well, most of the things -- I don't want to give everything away!!), so it is very much a personal view. The document is very comprehensive, there are things you can leave out if you can't be bothered, and there may be alternative or additional tweaks that the other club members do to their cars.
If you are unsure whether something you want to do to your cars is legal, please check first with the Scrutineer of your club for his view.
