The people who get upset about having to set the gear mesh are the people who usually buy cars where you can't adjust it 😉

Pretty easy for a car in transit from China, to distributor, to your track to go through some bumps and vibrations. Tuning is a fun part of the hobby.

Saturday Morning Two Lines Coffee Time - And then there were three...I loved both BRE 510's so much had to try one of the Fords. I am having so much fun running the Revo's. I think in part is because they are so different they anything else I own or have have run. Yes, as you and DaFingers commented, the gear mesh on all three cars needed to be fine tuned and it took several attempts to be happy with the mesh setting. Thank you Marty, this is one of your BEST tuning videos to date! Thank you! - P.S. - LOL, I love Fin in the background part way through.

I did have to shim both 510's bodies for tire rub with my sets of Quick Slicks. I also needed front shim for the no.35 to keep the air dam from rubbing on the track. They have been so much fun to run!

7.36 you've missed a very important thing that must be done. Your Alignment Tool must be square to the Centre line of the Car. Find the Centre Line of the Chassis and scribe a Dot at each end of the chassis. Scribe a Centre Line on your Set Up Plate and position the new chassis marks with that. Insert the Alignment tool and square it up. You don't want the Axle 'crabbing'. Once you do that along with the other things you do tell us just how much faster you went........ Scotty

@@twolinesslotcarshey Marty 🤠 greetings from Colorado. Maybe I can clarify somewhat about the 510(take it with a grain of salt since my brother raced and built several). Thousands of these were raced in the SCCA in the '70's. They were known as the "poor man's bimmer"and,(wait for it) his drove like a slot car 😅✌️

@twolinesslotcars 4 ай бұрын
So I use a concoction of Grease and Graphite... Mr. Albright shared the idea with me.. i like it. works great.. if you have to run in the gears and they are rough.. I use some polish..toothpaste, wheel polish, rubbing compound or lapping compound.

This cars are not perfect to a thousand of an inch. They do require to be tuned. You will get more cars that need tuning than cars that don't. This cars might be a bit much for you. Since they are a turners car. Some love to tune like me and others dispice to tune and that's O.K. the reason the uprights are not perfect is due to machining tolerance all you need to do is losse to screws and add blue lock tight to keep them in the chassis. I am really sorry the car didn't meet your expectations.
