ANNOUNCEMENT
I decided to get my Hillclimb track running today which will feature of course as a proxy stage, I thought it prudent to make a test round on the 2 sets of entrants cars I have received already to ensure they can make the climb (as its full of tight 90degree turns and steep inclines ).
In general I was pleased that mostly they ran well, and even very well in one case. However with one car the guide was too shallow and a little stiff, therefore was very difficult to work with and the other car run well mostly apart from one S Bend.
I have offered to change the guide with the former and the latter just needed a minor adjustment to lossen it which was agreed with the entrant.
So just a reminder that the guide plays a crucial part in this proxy where the tracks can be a little bumpy etc, so perhaps a little vertical play or a sprung guide to allow it to follow the undulations of the guide rails is a good idea.
If other entrants cars arrive in good time I am willing to test their cars on this track, in order to advise entrants if any modification is necessary before we start the series.
