Can anybody give me a quick fix for my cars ? Since I missed out on the test & tune , I took my cars to a friends track for testing. Both cars vibrated very badly. One car made a full pass shaking all the way. The 2nd car shook so bad that it deslotted and flipped over in about 6 inches. I found both cars have enlarged axle wholes on the left side. Any quick fix for this or am I going to miss out on this race ?

without seeing the cars run I would say that it sounds like you have bent rear axles. I wouldn't worry a lot about the axle holes being enlarged unless they are excessively huge. I have a lot of slop in all of my axles.
Are you running slip on silicones or sili-foams? If you are running slip ons on the car that doesn't launch and it has a straight axle, your magnets might be too far from the track. I would try shorter tires or shimming a magnet down.

Sounds like a bent axle to me.. if you are running AW axles. more than likely they are bent.. They bend if you look at em..
