The issue was very minor. There was a tab for external engine detail that got in the way of the tranny and that made it slightly cockeyed. It was just a matter of removing that - about a minutes worth of work. Mine had a bit of drag in the front axle but that was remedied easily enough as well. The car looks and runs beautifully though its slightly slower than a Scaley down the straights. The Scaley has better punch coming out of the corners though the Policar/Slot it motor is easier to drive in the twisties.
For what it's worth, according to the photo, the car is about 80% Policar and 20% Slot it though not at all the policar of old. Spare part are readily available across the pond to remedy the SRC's shortcomings if you're so inclined.
