- I read in the most recent R/C Car Action about one stock race where the
- winning car had used metal polish compound between the armature shaft
- and the bushing, which allegedly made the bushing hole slightly larger
- (go figure the advantage in that) and made for a nice polished meeting
- of the metals (perhaps a more clear advantage). I do not race stock
- either, so I can only offer this.
-
- By the way, I frequently hear the stock drivers at the track I have been using
- talk about all the questionable mods they have made to their stock motors.
-
- Good luck,
