Ok now that the race is over lets share ideas on how our cars were set up... Me first I guess....Front axle I drilled out free wheel and ground down nub on axle so i could recess axle into wheel and made spacer out of q-tip plastic spaced front wheels out to max width.. Rear axle I made spacers out of brass tubing this allowed better gear mesh and moved tires out to max width. I used Super tires for rear stock front ground down to minumum diameter. I noticed that magnets fit sloppy in chassis so i took advantage of this and glued them in place to advance timing on arm.. I lapped gears in toothpaste and then Armor-all. lowered body. i chose the Aurora Cheeta beacuse of light weight same for roadster. I didn't limit my pickups at all It just never seems to help my cars Not saying its a bad idea just doesn't work for me.. I also dropped traction magnet for obvious reasons.

What was the obvious reason for removing the traction magnet?

Or did you mean "lowered"?

 

[clydeomite]

I lowered the Traction Magnet to help handling. I used a tire/ wheel remover tool and took the rear magnet out. pressed the magnet down utilizing the small hole in the chassis under rear motor magnet.
