    Regarding a sandpaper truer, above the power supplies is a simple “tire cleaner” – a piece of carerra track with #300? sandpaper on it.  We use if for minor clean-up truing between races, and for HO cars.  I made it back in May when Bobby was taping paper onto the bench and truing his tires that way.

    Regarding the Razor, I bought Dave’s and adjusted it to make it actually level (it was not truing each side equally).  Mine works Ok – yes Ary it’s not a precision tool but for carreras it would be ok.

    ALSO – why dont we just allow Slot.It axles, wheels and 12mm tires?  I converted my Carerra 2016 GT40.  It is still Heavy and we should consider a Slot.It Orange endbell motor.  Everyone has spares and those that dont can buy parts from another member.

    At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
