Ok....I just received mine from Mike at Cloverleafracing. I haven't done anything to it nor have I ran it yet but I wanted to put out my initial observations. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures either.
When I opened the box I saw the car case with the red Flyslot card with the addition of "Powered by Avant Slot." I noticed there was a ziploc sandwich bag over the car with the lid taped to the base. When I peeled the tape and removed the lid from the base I realized there was no screw holding the car to the base, strike 1. After very carefully removing the car from the bag and base I noticed all 4 body screws were very loose, no biggie. I realized the front axle to be extremely sloppy with a lot of play. I observed there were no grub screws in the holes nor was there anything attached to the underside of the base, strike 2. I unscrewed the body from the chassis and noticed no grub screws on top of the front axle either. I put it on a test block for a few seconds and the gear mesh is tight and loud. The huge rear rubber tires both rub the wheel wells also.
So, not having time to mess with it now, I put it back in the box and resolved to the fact it is going to need some work.
The car is very nice looking and these are just my initial observations, having not driven it or done any work to it. I hope to have a chance to play with it later and share what I find.
I have a feeling with a little work this thing will be a rocket. Oh, and I also bought the aluminum AW pod, so I will be installing that as I work this one up too.
