[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 13200, member: 1061"] Yup, that's a great tip. I didn't even notice the machining marks and burrs upon first inspection. But there's definitely a little bit of flash leftover from the molding process that needs filed off. I'll probably just chuck them up in my Dremel or drill press and go to work on those today. The weights are in as well. I took all 3 cars (my son and daughter are making cars too) and weighed them on a postal scale this morning. [LIST] [*]Dad's car: 3.5 oz [*]Jr's car: 2.5 oz [*]Daughter's car: 1.0 oz [/LIST] I'm actually glad I won't be racing against her car...it's a little bullet. Gonna be fun getting 4 oz. of weight in the back of that tiny thing. Will have to get creative. I might end up removing more wood from mine so that I can put more weight in the back of it. [/QUOTE]
