Thanks for sharing this!!!! Have the same topic for 1/24s and 1/32s on my channel. Same topic. The guide/frontwheel setup is very important to have a smooth running car!!!!!!!!

Im learning alot from you. Thanks Dave!!

Tip for you when putting the eyelets into the guide with the braid in, put the braid in and bend in the guide, then place the car on a setup block with guide in place, and push eyelets in with a screwdriver against the setup block, this will then mean you get a 90 degree bend on the braid then bend the braid to taper away from the guide the further back it goes. The braid you've put in is angled the opposite direction to this . You want the rear of the braid to be the contact point whereas the way you have them likely the braids main contact point is in the middle of the braid.

Hi Lee, OK thank you, I'll try that. This video was a while ago now and I have got the taper thing resolved but I will definitely try your method on the two new Revos I need to rebraid in the coming week :)

[@leeg131313]

@@slotr another thing that helps is use the natural curve of the braid to point away in the taperand slightly pointing away from the guide when looked top down . Maybe less of a deal on your track with a fairly narrow slot/rail

Smooth lil bugger.....Dave, how are lap times?

[@slotr]

That one sits with the small revoslots now, I'm sure there is a little bit more in it but it's not close to the Revo 911, nothing much is yet
