Pulled out a Slot It Audi RAW- lightweight car from a few years ago. Want to set it up for racing. Looking at the chassis it has no front height adjustment at all. Looks like it would also need some serious weight added. What was the setup for these?
Seems they never really caught on with racers?

Depends on what rules set you will be running to, and the track, but it is all about tires, tires, tires...

For wood, no magnet: Change the flag to the deeper one. Take the magnet out and use it on the 'fridge. Add enough lead to balence the car to about 75-80 grams/ 60r/40f. Leave the body screws alone and loosen the motor pod screws about a turn. You may need to open the holes for those screws in order to allow the pod to float loosely. True the rims to remove the mold flash on the plastic wheels. Add Silicone or Urethane tires to suit local rules.

Here's a photo of my R8. This is a regular podium car in Norcal 132.

Just joined here, and saw this post...
You can upgrade to a chassis that allows you to adjust the front end...
Here's one currently on eBay that I think is the right one...
