Ken, I believe everyone, like me appreciates the review…. Glad to hear the car is quiet and smooth. It  sounds like only something that MrSlot Car and his round table of Sirs design to be near perfect.  Hopefully, in Jin the months up coming others will have them in tier hands.  In the meantime, if you’re ok with it, please keep us posted on what you find when turning all those screws.

Thank you very kindly, Brumos.

It won't be months for cars to arrive. Shipments are in transit.

Concerning the chassis nuts on the pod.

The pod has two adjustable blue nuts that allow the chassis to have torsion. If they are tight, the pod is rigid to the chassis. If you back them off. The pod is allowed to flex/twist in the chassis. There are black rubber limiting pads on either side of the pod. These pads dictate the maximum amount of travel/twist.

I'm leaning towards tightening them as it presently has too much grip on a routed track with urethane tires. I would imagine loosening them (allowing torsion) would increase the traction to the rear tires. I might loosen the nuts if I ran on a plastic track with the stock rubber tires.

   

I was curious about weight. My friend's Ninco C1 weighs 77.33 grams. The Mr SlotCar C1 weighs 81.46 grams.

   

I'm also going to try tightening the red nuts. They control the body float.

Both the red and blue nuts have silicone washers under them allowing flexibility and movement.

More testing to follow.
