Thanks for the review. I started back in the hobby a few years ago with D132. Slowly I have been switching to D124. The group seems to prefer it.

Thanks for the review, Harry, and you nailed it right on the head, as usual. The Carrera 1/24 cars have always been lots of fun, and they look great. Carrera probably modeled this car better than Fly did, even if it isn't perfect.
We've said for a long long time that one of the best upgrades we can make in this hobby is an adjustable power supply, and we can dial the power up just as easily as we can dial the power down. If the motor isn't enough, turn up the volume. They run very nicely at higher voltages! :)
No point comparing them to commercial 1/24 cars, no point comparing them to 1/24 BRM cars (at more than twice the price). Great cars. :)

Thanks guys.
Kurt, I'll never forget racing the NART's on Mark's track. Not sure how many laps we did...but what a time we had.

Does anyone know where one can get a rear axle for this car with the 46 tooth spur gear?
The only rear axles I have seen anywhere online have the same 50 tooth spur it comes with.

Hmmm.
Never mind.
A buddy called Carrera and they told him they will not be making any tuning parts for the new 1/24 cars.
:(
