Well, I received mine today, and as I predicted it is a bit of a lemon. I don't know why, but I seem to be blessed with lemons pretty much every time I buy any Scalextric car other than a Cortina! It's not too bad, but the lights seem to refuse to click firmly into place and want to rattle around inside, as did the passenger seat until I glued it back in. This new guide system seems a bit odd. I adjusted the screw but it still wants to deslot all the time. I ground more of a curve into the front of the guide to see if that helped on the shallow plastic track (it didn't). Next move would be to true the tyres. The contact patch seems all wrong, just touching on the outside edge.
I don't want to do too many mods on this car but if I have to I will make some mods up front to the guide system. Has anyone else had problems in this area?
