I have always liked this car and have only recently acquired one.
I bought it locally for $35NZD in an online auction.
The seller said the hubs were split.The fronts were but the rear was solid.
I tried various tires as the originals were no good on my surface.
I also added some interior detail.
Meantime I bought a set of SLOTINGplus hubs because I like them.
I often buy parts because I like them and have no specific use for them.
A specific use soon emerged.






It likes the brakes well back.
The car has two new slotit axles running in Slick7 bushes and slotit 24 tooth crown.
I have superglued the body post holes and stirred it inside with a toothpick.
When the glue sets the bodyscrew grabs quickly and allows all that float with the screws tight and sitting in a lower postion as well.
I was surprised how heavy the car was at over 80 grams.
The rear tires are a special mix "SRS Grips" and do grip well,they are just settling in nicely now.
The car has done a 4.353 sec lap on my track which compares well the top half of the NZ proxy canam cars.
The car is smooth, quick(could be quicker) and quiet.....just how I like them.
regards
