Thanks Chris. There is nothing in the supplied rules about having to use the grooves in the block of wood supplied so I think I can move the wheels. So I plan to spread them out and get the car a hair over the minimum height of 3/8". I have to re-read the rules about wheels & axels to see if I can groove them radius the hub. I do remember it mentioning all I can do to the wheels is removing casting flash.

So the basic wedge > design I want to use is probably better, putting all the wt in the back. Hmm.
