Thanks Beejay7 :)

Not wanting to send Stingray's thread off topic, just though I would say thanks for the suggestion to improve the Carrera Camaro.
I had a play with what you suggested and lowered the Camaro.
I don't know if it has improved any (won't get a chance to try it for a few days), but I think it sits a lot nicer asthetically anyway
There was a spacer on the rear posts which I removed, and shaved a little off the front posts, I had to file away some of the interior to clear the switch and wiring as you suggested, then finally I remounted the sidepipes.

Looks way better like that. They seem to come setup for drag racing, not road racing...

Carrera Camaro

You're welcome.

I have that same car, although I have removed the sidepipes and changed the wheels to GOM Minilites, painted black.
It is then a pretty good replica for the car currently being run in Historic Trans Am and driven by Chad Raynal.

Take a look at :- www.historictransam.com/drivers/chadraynal.htm

Seeing the pics of the real thing, Carrera didn't get it too accurate did they

I will try this Camaro and see if it has improved next time I have the set out, it ran 8 secs around the last setup I had , all my other cars were 7 secs within a couple of tenths either way, the exception being the Scaley Corvette L88 which hammered round in 5.5

Hopefully I can get some solder before then and set too at soldering the pick-up wires from my Carrera (64 ??) Stingray straight too the motor to see if that helps its problems.

Out of the two, I think Scaley deffo make the better cars, how do Ninco, Auto-Art and Revell/Monogram compare to Scaley in detail and build quality ?
