4 wheels flat on track- rail rider possible

[jinx4242]

Our district rules state that all four wheels must sit flat on the track.

 

I'm wondering if a very small axle angle can be adjusted to cause rail riding while the car is moving, while still allowing the wheels to sit flat at rest due to the difference between axle and wheel bore diameters.

Thoughts?

Yes, you are in the right track. it takes a little patients and some tinkering but it can be effectively done. A well aligned car is a must to maximize all of the work in building your race.
