I bought my first slot car that wasn't a Super G+ that came in a box set of track. It is the AW Thunderjet GTO. I hooked up a small track to compare this to the G+ cars, but this new car doesn't run so well.
As soon as you give it power, the rear end slides to the side about an 1/8th to 1/4 inch, and then the car kind of bounces as it goes crooked down the straight. I really have no idea where to start troubleshooting this, but wondering if possibly one rear tire is a different diameter then the other, and if this would cause the problem.
Suggesstions on how to troubleshoot this would be appreciated.
Also, I've seen people touch upon 'breaking' in a new car. Are there some general guidelines on what should (and shouldn't) be done, possibly by type of car?
