I have two great cars, a Racer 250LM and a MB Sloter Lola T280 (white kit), both of which make an annoying rattling noise! I believe I have identified it as the solid front axles sliding up and down in the "oval" shaped chassis moldings. Certainly it is the case on the Lola.

Its almost like they need a mini spring or a piece of sponge jammed in there. Any ideas on how to dampen this?

Lola?

Use Chuppa Chup stick pieces over the axle inside the front wheel "bearings" They raise the axle slightly as they just kiss the small ribs that are there for guiding the motor leads.
