The Magazine For Slot Car Enthusiasts

A visual guide to help you with installation of rail and lock wire.


Things to do before you start:

1. We give you the exact amount of materials. Start at one end of the piece, and insert to the other end of the piece before you cut.

2. Use a slow drying glue, water soluble if possible. (Note: Least amount of glue is best)

3. Work as close to the project as you can.

4. Go in small steps, no more than 8 inches at a time.

5. Lockwire goes INSIDE of the rail, towards the pin slot side.

6. It's important that the rail be flush to the bottom.
