Caravans

We occasionally run caravans (towed behind Carrera Plymouths) to break up the usual club racing roster. It's always a hoot with the caravans fishtailing like mad.

I was wondering if others who indulge in this madness put guides in the caravans to stop the radical fishtailing? Anyone out there doing this?

Have not run these for a while but when we did the fishtailing was part of the fun and used to hinder overtaking.

There was only one rule and that was instant disqualification for driving the car without the caravan if it came off.

The SCX Audi 90's do double duty as track cars without the caravans as well.

With a fresh set of good quality glued and trued tyres the improvement in the caravans is amazing. (the old setup had 80's scalextric tyres that were disintegrating with age) The 'vans run smooth and are very predictable. Fishtailing is all but gone. There is no need for any pins / guides in the 'vans. You can properly race them now. Result!
