Photo 1: What I use - (L to R): Lighter, 5" hobby pliers (no teeth) and an emory board. I also use a set of 5" wire side cutters (not shown) to trim any flashing off the prongs. Photo 2: This is what is meant by no teeth - You see there are no grips. Photo 3: Given a Total Team Control base from right off the sprue, take your 5" hobby pliers - Photo 4: You will use the pliers on the rear prongs and press them flat. Photo 5: Once you press them, the back prongs are going to resemble teardrops. Use the 5" side cutters to remove the bulge and make the prong flat on the bottom. Photo 6: Your tweaked base. Use the 5" pliers to gently brush the prongs and make the rear prongs angle slightly backward. Notice the front prongs on the white dial are simply slanted.

Let's look at the base we tweaked in the previous video. See how it almost looks like it's smiling at you, with the two front prongs as the eyes. and the rear dial guide as the mouth? That means this base is set to go forward. Video 1: If I move the dial slightly clockwise, the player turns left. Video 2: If I move the dial slightly counterclockwise, the player turns right.

When you get the Kentucky Derby game, it will come with the "ski" style speedy Invisibases. The game works fine out of the box, but be careful with horses wiping through the turns, as they can fall over. I did find that adding a little weight to the "undercarriage" of the horses allows them to run a little faster, and they can handle the turns quite well.
