Just ran it with my timer to compare it to a Go suburu I have. Best time for the spin drive was a 6.51, and best for the Go was 6.28. Pretty close, I bet by lowering the magnet a little I can get the performance level to be close to identical.

Hey Guys,

I am a 1/32 guy, but, i got a carrera go set for Dad's day.

I quickly grabbed the Suburus and put them on my 1/32 Revell Track.

Man those cars were rockets!

What is the voltage of the Carrera 1/43 cars supposed to be? I ran them at 17v with a standard Revell Power Supply.

Thanks
