Glue your slot car gears to improve performance, balance and speed - Part 1

(See below for links to products used in this video...)
You don't have to lighten and drill your Cahoza, S&K, Slotit, NSR or Scalextric slot car gears first, but it helps. In this video we prepare to glue a spur gear to an axle and work out how to position it correctly. Final part next week...

These videos are superb. Although they relate to BSCRA-style slot cars most can be applied to hard body slot cars or adapted. Nice work James, thank you.

@@CleaveTech That’s great news James, thank you. I shall be watching like a hawk!
Another suggestion is 3/32 titanium rod we've been using them for axles with roller bearings in 1/24 slot car drag racing for years. No magnetism and less rotating weight, I feel it would pay dividends in the corners.

I agree that titanium axles don’t have any magnetic drag but they are not really strong enough to withstand the crashes that happen in flat track racing. People have used them but often fail to finish due to bent axles.
You are de Best! Can you give me information about the support to check the axes with the comparator?

Hi Onubiker. Thanks for watching. The axle checker is one I made for myself many years ago. I hope to get time to make a few more but I have an idea to incorporate something else within the design 😉
