I really like the way you say the car manufacturers name; "Mac - Laren". I also feel as though you speak Spanish too as I hear you say "K" after a sentence which was typical of Manuel the servant in "Fawlty Towers". Thankyou for the instruction in this series, Cheers :-)
Why do you not want your front types to touch the track? Surely if your chassis is making contact with the track there is more friction and your floor board will scratch? Is this only for smooth wooden tracks or for plastic Scalectrix tracks (with raised contacts) too?
You want the car as low to the track as possible and with minimal friction. Having the front tires just above the track reduces the contact area and keeps the car balanced while turning. Your point of contact is the guide and not the chassis, so you setup the car with the guide where the braid is lower than the chassis. Also, since the front wheels are typically tied together having the solid axle turning the wheels at different speeds can impede the speed the car can maintain during cornering. The track surface shouldn't make too much difference as the concepts are the same. Thanks for watching!
Do you have a video using the independent rotation axle SIPA39?
So the front tyres need to touch the track,but they will not affect the performance of the car like the speed especialy at the corners? Thanks.

Sounds to me that he speaks Brazilian Portuguese. Great video! Obrigado!
