(I asked a similar question to this a week or so back, but that was in relation to Scalextric cars, so the answers I got there wouldn't apply here)

I've got a Fly BMW M3 rally car which really needs a sprung or floating guide. I've read that the Ninco sprung guides have an odd post size. Is this correct? If so, is there a sprung or floating guide that is a plug & play replacement for the standard "rally track unfriendly" Fly one? Now I come to think of it, I also have a couple of old SCX rally cars with fixed guides as well.....

TIA
Stuart.

Does it really needs a sprung or floating guide - or is the problem that the guide is currently at the wrong height?

With many types of car a guide at the correct fixed height (for the type of track you are using) works better that a sprung or floating guide. That may or may not hold true for your car and track, but it's worth experimenting with adjusting the guide height and seeing how that compares with a sprung or floating guide.
