Help! - Top Down - 22nd-Jan-21

What are these and where and how do they fit in a Slot.it Mercedes DTM car please?

[attachment=11722]

I took the chassis out to remove the traction magnet and as I turned it over I heard something drop. When searching for it I found a second one.

They look rather like lowering blocks used on 1:1 cars but what is the correct way to fit them back in the chassis.

Is the front axle now rather loose? In an up and down sort of way?

RE: Help! - Top Down - 22nd-Jan-21

It is - but I prefer it in the 'UP' position, so the front end of the car is lowered 

Do I need to put them in the axle 'towers' somehow but underneath, not above, the axle?

Been there. LINKY

Aha! Thank you! So they are lowering blocks of a sort but I think I'll use grub screws instead.

I also have some of those brass bushings mentioned towards the end of the PDF. Just need to retrieve them from a Ninco Porsche, where I've used them as axle spacers!

Grub screws are definitely the better option. When I returned to slot racing and first started club racing a few years ago I used to use the little blocks but they only allow one axle height and have a nasty habit of falling out occasionally. Grub screws allow more adjustment and they shouldn't fall out either.

Agreed, now I know what they are  

Before I knew, they were just 'random bits' on the floor
