I never even realised scaletrix had suspension :-) Some of the more recent cars had springs and shocks, but I'm fairly sure the older ones didn't. I do remember a friend of mine had a really old set that had steering front wheels though, always fancied retro fitting that to one. |

Most of the Airfix/MRRC slot cars had steering front wheels, lotus cortina, Mini Cooper, E Type, Mk3 Zodiac, MG1100, Sunbeam Rapier, etc etc

Do the steering front wheels actually do anything or is it just for show?

Do the steering front wheels actually do anything or is it just for show? Doubtful. The cars rest on the guides/brushes. Actually, I've just remembered that some of the new F1 replicas had steerable wheels too. |
