DELUXE INNOVATION WELL HOLE CARS

Does anyone know a cure to make the Deluxe Innovation well hole cars run well. The wheels seem to lift up and derail constantly, for no apparent reason. The track work is very good, the curves are good to generous. You can watch the wheels lift as they start into a curve, followed by a derailment. Any help greatly appreciated. Joe Hueber

I'd say add some weight. Well cars are light by design.

Which model do u have?  The maxi IV had an issue and they will give u a washer to raise the car above the wheels allowing the wheels turn.  U can also use a MT washer.

Well cars are light by design.

True for injection molded cars - much less so for metal ones  ;)

However, I would support the idea of adding a washer between truck and chassis to lift the car a little. The plastic MT supplied washer may be too thick, other small metal washers are available - and we supply some where there is a difference between FVW and BLMA-Atlas trucks and MT ones for good riding - even in a metal casr. The increased height is noticeable, the cars will not ride at the proper height, but should end the binding, if this is the problem.
