Carrera Ferrari 458 GT2
Posted: Wed Aug 30, 2017 6:32 amHas anyone had experience with the wheels/axles on the Carrera Ferrari 458 being bent or not straight?
We decided on a Carrera GT class after liking the Ford GT. I chose the Ferrari, several other cars are in use (Lambo, 2 Ford GTs, a couple of Corvettes ). Every other car was smooth out of the box, and the Ferrari was twitchy and jumpy on every corner.
Upon examination, both axles were bent. I bought a full set of new wheels/axles. The rears are fine, but I can see the fronts are out of round.
I have already pulled and trued them but due to the splined axle I am not confident they will stay true even with glue. I also had to glue the motor in to smooth out the rear end.
I like the livery, but I am about done with the car. It's not competitive and it's supposed to be a box stock class....I can't change wheels or put a new front end in the car. I don't want to keep spending money on new wheel sets hoping for true ones, when the other cars are smooth out of the box. Any hints?
Or is it just time for an orange Ford GT?
