Underscoring Mordy's comments...the Quaiffe adds another element of 
complexity to chassis set up. 

It is durable, I like it, but on some tracks the inside wheel spin is 
disconcerting.

However, I will keep it in place because it is easy to move the car 
around.... :-)

I will play with some chassis adjustments and compensate some with driving 
'style'.

It doesnt seem to slow Uncle Jack down....
