careful about how much the car weighs because they will weigh it before a race, aerodynamics is key. Also veryimportant is wheels. dont pound to tight, dont leave to loose. if u bend the little nails get new ones cause a bent nail wont provide a good axel. Graphite on the wheels will help allot. Dont use liquid lubricants, like wd-40. they will pick up dust and hair and slow the car down.
