Slot Car Tuning Guide – The Ultimate Checklist
www.slotcarcorner.com / www.slotcarcorner.ca
Version 1.0d – February 15, 2016 – Copyright © 2016 by Slot Car Corner Canada – All Rights Reserved Page 1
Building, preparing and tuning a slot car for a race is a fun part of the hobby. Some
people just like to add some lubrication and change their tires before going to a race.
Others want their car to be the best it can be.
For those people, we have created The Ultimate Checklist for tuning a slot car. If you
go through this list every time you’re preparing a car for a local club race or a long
proxy race, we can’t promise you’ll win every race but you’ll certainly have one of the
best handling cars on the track.
* Of course, make sure the race or club rules allow each modification we’re suggesting.
We sure don’t want you to be called a cheater!
If your time is limited or you don’t really need your car to be the best it can be (!), you
can concentrate on the lines that are shaded.
Guide
o Make the guide as long as possible without it binding in the tightest turns of the track.
o Set the guide as low as possible without hitting the bottom of the slot.
o Use guide spacers if needed but make sure the guide does not rock.
o If using adjustable axle blocks, raise the front axle if needed to get the guide as low as
possible. You can also use a smaller wheel/tire combination (outer diameter).
o If using fixed axle mounts, lower the front axle by reducing the outer diameter of the tires
and/or using a smaller wheel/tire combination (outer diameter).
o Make sure the guide rotates freely in the guide holder without it rocking or binding
(loosen guide screw, add some lube or enlarge the hole for the guide if needed).
o Make sure the guide shows no sign of cracking or fatigue.
o Make sure the guide holder shows no sign of cracking or other damage.
o Make the braid almost as long as the guide flag to make good contact everywhere
around the track.
o Set the braid as flat as possible to prevent it from lifting the front of the car out of the
slot.
o Enlarge the ends of the braid and bend them a little for it to make good contact.
o Place/route the lead wires so that the guide will come back to its forward position by
itself after a crash.
o Secure the eyelets that bring the lead wires into the guide, to make sure they don’t come
out during the race.
o Make sure the motor lead wire is long enough to allow the guide to rotate freely from
« stop to stop ».
o Route the lead wires so that they are not interfering with the front axle rotation.
o Make sure that the braids are not touching one another (shorting out) on top of the
guide.
o Replace the braids if they are worn or torn.
o Clean the braids and remove accumulated dirt at the ends.
o Make sure the body does not prevent the guide from rotating freely.
Front Axle & Wheels
o Use front wheels that are concentric.
o If using plastic wheels, remove any flashing.
o Make sure the front wheels are round and true.

o If using set screw wheels, replace set screws if they’re stripped.
o If using set screw wheels, make sure the set screws are tight on the axle.
o If rules permit, use low friction front tires (Zero Grips).
o Make sure the front wheels are not binding with the chassis or body.
o Glue and true the tires to the wheels. Ensure tires are fully seated on wheels.
o Remove any flashing (inside or outside) from the tires.
o Profile the edges of the front tires (inside and outside) so that they are sligthly rounded.
o Adjust the front axle so that both tires are touching the track at all times.
o Make sure the front tires are not too wide.
o Front wheels that have independent rotation usually improve handling.
o Adjust the front axle height correctly.
o Adjust the front axle so that it doesn’t move up and down, for better stability in the turns.
o Add spacers or bring the wheels closer inside if the axle has side-to-side movement.
o Make sure the front axle is parallel to the track (same height on both sides).
o Make sure the front axle is perfectly perpendicular to the slot.
o Make sure the front axle rotates freely and without vibration.
o Replace the axle if it’s not perfectly straight, is worn or has deep scratches.
o Use a front axle that has the correct length.
o Add some lubrication where the front axle passes trough the axle mounts/blocks.
o Use oval point set screws to adjust the axle height, for less friction when rotating.
Rear Axle & Wheels
o Use rear wheels that are concentric.
o If using plastic wheels, remove any flashing.
o Make sure the rear wheels are round and true.
o If using set screw wheels, replace set screws if they’re stripped.
o If using set screw wheels, make sure the set screws are tight on the axle.
o Make sure the rear wheels are not binding with the chassis or body.
o Use the best tire compound you can use for the track surface the car will be run on.
o Glue and true the tires to the wheels. Ensure tires are fully seated on wheels.
o Remove any flashing (inside or outside) from the tires.
o Profile the edges of the rear tires (inside and outside) so that they are sligthly rounded,
to get a smoother ride under load in the turns.
o Use the widest tires you can fit under the body, for better grip.
o If using wheels with inserts, make sure inserts are secure (use a drop of glue if needed).
o Choose the right tire diameter, a compromise between lowering the center of gravity and
having enough clearance for gears and the track surface.
o Add spacers or bring the wheels closer inside if the axle has side-to-side movement.
o Remove any slop in the rear bushings (replace bushings if needed).

o Make sure the rear axle rotates freely and without vibration.
o Make sure the bushings are perfectly aligned.
o Glue the bushings in their holder (if possible).
o Add some lubrication inside the bushings.
o Align the crown/spur gear with the pinion correctly.
o Choose the right diameter for the crown/spur gear to create a good mesh with the
pinion.
o If using set screws to secure the crown/spur gear, make sure the set screws are tight on
the axle.
o If using set screws to secure the crown/spur gear, replace set screws if they’re stripped.
o If using an offset inline motor pod, use a crown gear that is also offset.
o Replace the axle if it’s not perfectly straight, is worn or has deep scratches.
o Use a rear axle that has the correct length.
Motor Pod
o Make sure the motor pod does not move from front-to-rear.
o Make sure the motor pod is not binding with the chassis (sand the edges if it is).
o If using an anglewinder configuration, make the rear of the motor pod rigid enough to
eliminate «Anglewinder Hop».
o Enlarge the screw holes of the motor pod slightly allow some movement.
o Use tape or another kind of suspension system to dampen motor pod movement.
o Replace the motor pod if it is damaged and in need of replacement.
o Make sure there is sufficient clearance between the motor pod and the racing surface.
Motor & Gears
o Lightly oil the motor shaft at the can end of the motor (about once a year is enough).
o Glue or screw in the motor in the motor pod or chassis.
o Make sure the motor does not exhibit a burned electrical smell.
o Check to see if the motor shaft bushings/bearings have excessive play (slop).
o In a sidewinder configuration, make sure the motor shaft is not rubbing against the tire.
o In an inline configuration, add grease to self-centering portion of the crown hub to
prevent excess wear from the motor shaft.
o Choose the right pinion diameter to create a good mesh with the crown/spur gear.
o Replace the pinion and/or the crown/spur gear if they are worn.
o Remove all useless capacitors and resistors on the motor.
o Make sure the motor does not bind with the body interior.
o If you want more magnetic attraction, place the motor opening (if there’s one) on the
bottom.
o If you want to reduce the risk of debris getting inside the motor, place the motor opening
(if there’s one) on the top.
o Use the best gear ratio for the tracks/races on/in which this car will be used.
o If using a long can motor, use a flat motor if possible to lower the center of gravity.

o Make sure the chassis is not binding with the body.
o Make sure the lead wires are not preventing the guide to rotate freely.
o Make sure the lighting system is not binding with other components.
o Place the weight (lead) where it benefits handling the most.
