Wink

pretty sure youre legal if you bend the axle a bit so the 4th wheel doesnt make contact I think you just have to make sure to use all 4 wheels.

Wood, Wheels and Axles
The official pine wood block must be used. The block may be shaped in any way that is desired.
Official BSA wheels must be used. The wheels may not be cut, drilled, beveled or rounded. You may remove the seams and imperfections from the wheels.
The axles may be altered, polished and lubricated.



Get those bad boys riding on 3 wheels

Domination takes full concentration..

All depends on what the Packs rules are....they can be different from pack to pack. and the pack rules can be different from the districts.

Congrats on the cars....they look pissah. looks like a little graphite may have been used on those cars....

So how did Liam's car finish.

Our Pack rules, pretty much in line with District rules original axle slots which theoretically puts 4 wheels on the ground. Canting, three wheels, etc I wouldn't have a problem with in the Adults race but for the kids, there should be a reasonable base level.

Liam's car was fastest scout car in the pack again. The only items I did solo on the car were cutting original shape (mostly off his design), hollowing out the channel to place weights, exacto knife on electrical tape for glass & stripes, and filling putty. He did or participated in everything else: filing axle grooves (interestingly not all filed down), polishing axles and wheels, adding and glue sticking weights, sanding, priming, painting.

I did put on a vast amount of graphite. If there is a point where you can have too much graphite, we haven't found it yet. Though do have a mask on when doing volumes of graphite.
