I have been helping my scout with his car as well (using oil of course) but had the idea to make a graphite car to enter in our parents/siblings class. Interested to see if using everything I have learned in past couple years I could make a graphite car faster than some of the oil cars that will be at the race. I am also using stock axles and stock kit block. Forgot how much I dislike graphite and stock parts. Good Luck to you.

Stay @ Home Dad

I’ve been there! I had to tune for two scouts, and the car would slow down a ton with the slightest tuning!

It's almost unnerving once your use to oil & league wheels. Good Luck with them
