Re: Vex Slider Parts

FVC Team 40 used the sliders and two things help alot 1st let everything you can float to keep things from binding. Next is to debur the sliders if they have little jaggies on them. You want all the metal to be smooth as possible. They are stamped so its hard to get a perfect finish.

Re: Vex Slider Parts

Well as an example of how difficult the sliders are to use, we witnessed 2 different teams using WD40 on sliders at the competition. In each case, the team claimed to be unaware that it was not competition legal (one team was convincing while the other was not). In any event, they should allow them to be lubricated since sliders would normally be lubricated anyway.
