Very neat car! Those run very well with just a little tweaking. :)

I'm hoping the Challenger runs well for you. I sold 2 other cars and haven't heard whether they got them or liked them, or anything. It kind of shakes your confidence in building a nice car when you don't hear anything. :)

That is a really good looking 917. I just have say, the Fly Classics are going to live forever. They changed the world of slot racing when they came on the scene, and with care and upgrades like this they will remain some of the best cars ever. Nice work, the wheels look exceptionaly good.

You betcha, my first experience with Fly was also bad. I bought the Ferrari 512 and the motor shaft had pressed into the tire and left a crease. Also, it was screwed so tightly onto the plinth that all four tires had flat spots. It ran like my Grandma! (Sorry grandma) But is was such a lovely little car I decided it would be well worth it to start honing my slot car skills once again. It is like RM from Oz says in his signature: Fly, making slot car tuners for years. It is hard (and not too prudent) to name your favorite child, but overall I think the Fly Classics are still my favorite cars.
