This is why you are THE DUDE! You're an all-star Nico. Always love learning from your years of experience and your videos deserve way more attention on these subjects, especially. I actually found out there is a newer shop with a wood track I believe that is about 35 mins from me. Maybe one day I will be a club racer with all of your knowledge 😄

I ride dirtbikes & polish my axles & the throttle sleeve & the handlebar, after polishing i clean with an alchol cleaner & then spray it with silicone spray, let it dry overnight & install the next day, i always have people try my throttle control & say how do you get it so smooth & quick :)

Hello Nico - "Duderino" Just now coming over from Shotgun Dave's challenge and 1st time viewer and Subscriber. Thank you for covering these topic's, you touched on some basic - but critical areas that anyone can improve the performance of any slot car with. Could you please expand on the reduction of side to side movement of both front & rear axles. Please cover the use of different items and the pro's & con's of each. ie; Washers, plastic or otherwise, placement and why. Axle collars. Axle tubes - brass, aluminum etc. And any other means I may not have mentioned. Thank you in advance and I'm looking forward to watching all your content. Best Regards, Jack

Moin Nico. Na da hast du ja einigen von der anderen Seite des Atlantiks ein wenig mehr Licht an deren Fahrrädern gemacht, wie ich in den Kommentaren lesen konnte. 🙂 Wenn es sich um Carrera Modelle handelt, mach ich mir gar nicht erst die Mühe und schleife die Achsen. Ein kleines Stück Klo-Papier, oder Küchenrolle (3x3cm) tut es auch. Wenn die Modelle neu kommen ist ja immer so ein Belag drauf, den man sehr gut ab bekommt, wenn man das Papier mit etwas Druck an der Achse dreht, kriegt man die Verunreinigung gut ab. Wenn die Lager dann frei hin und her laufen, indem man die Achse hin und her dreht, sieht man, wo man noch nach polieren muss. Dann mach ich ein wenig Öl in die Lager, indem ich die Achsen wieder rein drücke und das Modell auf die Seite lege. Ich nehme ganz einfaches Ballistol und lass es dann ich die Lager laufen. Nur ein wenig, das tut es schon. Die Schwerkraft erledigt das rein laufen dann von alleine. Ich sehe auch immer Experten, wenn sie dann hier auf YT die komplette Achse ölen. Ja prima, so fängt man dann den Staub, Dreck und Haare perfekt an der Achse auf. Grins. Na ja, so sind sie halt, die Experten. Auch schleife ich den Grat oder die unebenen Achsen-Stege auf einem Stück Schleifpapier (240`er) eben. So wie ich es mit den Reifen mache. Auch damit bekommst du die Unruhe gut weg. Vorne mache ich das mit eine kleinen flachen Schlüsselfeile und gut ist das. So kann man mit einfachen Mitteln schon etwas mehr Ruhe in die Sache rein bringen, wenn man Carrera Modelle fährt. Noch ein wenig Schmiere an die Zahnräder und zwischen dem Motor-Zahnrad und Achs-Zahnrad an der Hinter-Achse und schon ist das Basic-Tunnig getan. Die Reifen schleife ich erst, wenn ich merke, dass das Notwendig ist. Ich lass das Modell erst einmal ein paar Runden auf der Bahn gehen. Dann sieht man nach einigen Runden schön, wo die Täler auf den Flächen der Hinterräder sind und dann schleife ich sie mit einem 120`er vor und mit einem 240`er Schleifpapier fein. Einfach eine Schiene an die Anschluss-Schien gesteckt und das Schleifpapier drauf getaped. Die Vorderräder lass ich einfach so wie sie sind. Für Heimrennbahn fahren langt dieses einfache Tunning völlig aus. Alles keine Hexerei und mit einfachste Mitteln kriegst du schon das Modell super auf die Bahn. Nur die neuen Felgen und deren Reifen an den Modellen sind einfach nur Grotte. Die sind alle samt laut wie Hulle. Da sind Tunning-Kits einfach sinnvoll und meiner Meinung nach ein muss. Manchmal helfen auch alte Achsen von älteren Modellen, die man sich als Ersatzteil kaufen kann. Aber das kannst du bei den neueren Modellen, wo es keine älteren gibt auch knicken. Da nützen nur Tunning-Kits. Mach doch Bitte weiter mit diesen Tipps. Dann können unsere Slotcar-Brüder drüben in unserer Community noch mehr Licht an ihren Fahrrädern benutzen, um deren Bahnen mehr zum leuchten zu bringen. 🙂 LG, Björn
