Scalextric - proud of the slot
#2

Hi Jake.

If you feel the braid is holding the nose up? Use small, flat, needle nose pliers to gently flatten the braid out a little, and lay it down closer to the guide with your finger. Push on the section where the braid curves as it comes out of the guide. It should improve.

Be careful. Needle nose pliers with aggressive teeth may only make things worse.

Aftermarket competition braid is a bit thinner to avoid lifting the guide off the track with light cars. You have that as an option. It means changing the braids on both cars.

I hope you have fun with your grandchildren!

Warm regards,
Ken
