HO Tuning Tips, Dragster - nkarres - 16th-Jun-22

I wanted to start a thread here on how to tune your chassis, where to find information, what to look out for,.......

A very good source is another Forum, just dealing with HO Dragster :
https://nitroslots.com/forum

Another massiv source is of course YouTube.
A very good Video for 4gear tuning to start with is this: https://youtu.be/i9-L5lbNjHU

My personal standards that helped: 

• a stiff chassis is faster on the strip. For a road course I would choose a more flexible chassis.
  
• If lifting the rear of the chassis and applying power the whole chassis should not wobble/shake. This means no wobble on the axel, the rims should be round as should be the tires. It should run very quiet. More wobble - more time on the clock!
  

Hope this helps ! Please ask questions, more than willing to help and to answer!

Please share your insights, experiences, test results......!!!!!!!

The closer the racing, the more fun for all of us!!!!

What a pity, I was hoping that a few more racers would join the discussion. 

Discussion means that more than one member is involved, that's a report.......


Nobody willing to share information? C'mon guys, asking for info without sharing doesn't work.......

Andy shared an info in one of his threads: stiffer braids are faster than softer ones. Having tested both, yes he's absolutely wright!
