Hello,
I just registered to this forum. I run 1:32 scale cars on a 4 lanes Scalextric Sport track combined with some Classic rails going back from 1975. I live in France and run Classic Sports, CanAm, ALMS and vintage F1 cars. I like tuning cars for better performance. I run a Youtube channel @littlebearslots.

Hi there just an intro from downunder

Hi

I've bought another old scalextric car (Scaletti Arrows C023) which is missing a guide but I can't find any info on google apart from a part number W1404.

Does anyone know where I can get one from?

...with a hamfisted paint job!

Is it possible to have too much grip?
I ask because I have issues with a few cars tipping over rather than oversteering.
I have tried sanding/rounding the edges of the tyres, additional weight at the front, moving rear wheels out slightly (when possible) to increase overall rear axle width (which helps quite a bit). All are on Scalextric tyres and I run them all at 12v but still have some saloons that prefer to tip rather than slide. It is a particular issue with my "classic" BSCC/BTCC cars.
This was not such a common issue on Scalextric track but since I changed to Policar it has become a problem.
Is there anything else, not involving major chassis surgery, that could help?

Alternatively, is the Policar car track providing too much grip?
As heretical as it may be, can anyone suggest a method of reducing the grip provided by the track?
