Kevan - are you talking Scalextric, Carrera, Fly etc cars on plastic sectional track? Because that is what this thread is about. We tend to find the effects of lumpy track joins are somewhat ameliorated by a tiny gap between front wheel and track surface - it gives a smoother ride. That gap also helps hide any design/manufacturing deficiencies of those Scalextric, Carrera, Fly etc cars in terms of the front axle holders, axle, wheels etc. So there is method in my madness, considering the characteristics of the ‘toy’ cars and the plastic track.

If you’re talking about racing brands on a nice flat wood track, then I absolutely agree… but that’s not the subject of this thread
