I added the weight distributed. I had started with 10 ounces of weight over the rear truck in an effort to get more traction. Apparently, that was too much of a good thing concentrated in one area, it didn't work that well. So, I put another 14 oz from the middle to over the front truck. This worked out better and apparently allows the front truck to pick up more of the load.
I have one more idea on the Aerotrain for better running as well. I'm thinking of moving the tach reader to the front truck. I believe the oddball rear truck would fare better if it was just a slave to the front truck. With a little luck, I can just swap the motors, hopefully the worms are the same.
