I have been waiting to hear your review. I know they are not exactly to scale, but I love them. They run great, was a fun tune. I really learned a lot from tuning this chassis. I look forward to what comes next from this platform.
Nice review. I have got one (with 2 more on arrival). As for yours, it is not 100% perfect but I have done minimal adjusting to it and on my scalex track it goes really well (no magnet). I have put even an oXigen chip and this thing is fast and stable like my GT3 cars. It is going to be a nice digital class. I hope that they will come out with more interesting bodies in the near future.
Just wondering running on Scalextric track how much clearance is you car set for Harry says 1mm (frame to track clearance) on his routed track which is next to nothing.
Great review Harry! Mine makes the same noise with the gears. I’ll look into that screw. The pinion rubbed the inside of the tire. But with tuning these cars are runners for sure
On my blue Shelby, the pinion was also rubbing the tire, and front set screws for braids were rubbing the body shell. Some QC issues, but I can fix 'em so I can live with 'em
Love my Acapulco blue one, just started to tune it for our six lane wood track, it's got to run on slot it unglued F22 tyres for our classics class. These cars are absolute marmite, if you don't like it then .......
@@PorscheRacer61 just the cheap cleaning sponges with the scratch pad on the other side. Dollar store item. Just spray abit of Windex on them to clean the tires.
Good review. I love these cars as a racer and not too fussed about 'true scale' or 'ready to race'. Like you, I see no merit in running a car straight out of the box, it tells me nothing whatsoever, get the bodyshell off, work on the car, setting it up should be an enjoyable part of the hobby so just enjoy it and experiment, try stuff and learn what does what so the rest of your cars can benefit.
Great review! To me, all the rubbing, fitment issues, and lack of correct original assembly is very disappointing. Thunderslot needs to have better quality control. I understand and enjoy the tuning process but this seems like simple poor quality and lackluster assembly.

Thanks sir. Yeah, fun cars for certain. Taking them with me to MT Racing and see how they go there. I'll get the next body style offered, 100%.
Great job Harry!
Never too long!. Long video with exceptional info are always welcomed Harry!!
Thanks sir!
Excellent video, great review and break down of the setup tweaks you made.

Gonna buy another car. Going back and doing some re research (I didn't take notes) thank you Again!
Where do you purchase piano wire from? I've never used it before.
I order online mostly. Slot Car Corner stocks it. Check your local hobby store first though.

Thanks Harry. Also you mentioned windex sponges I assume for cleaning the tires. What are those. Sorry for all the questions.

It does seem a little odd, to have so many little niggling things to fix.
You pay the price you make your choice. Its Italian...........
