Some rookie questions:

1. Wouldn't the canted wheel design cause the wheel to constantly rub against the nail head, causing constant friction?
2. Is it a good idea to apply graphite to the body - right where the wheel hub could contact it?
3. Is the 5 oz weight limit a minimum or a maximum?
4. Why would Danny's car come pre-cut? It is not a rectangular block of wood, will post pic tomorrow.
5. What is the probability of a 'tear down'?
6. I'm considering building 2 cars, one with less 'investment' just in case.... what is the advice?
7. How do you test these things? Can I build a test track and install in the race trailer?
8. What type of timing mechanism is utilized, or is it visual?

Many more ?'s to come... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
