Hey Peter, be sure to give them a once over for tuning. I was amazed at how much more fun the Carrera Cobras were after a little simple tuning, like clearing mold sprue break-offs, tire truing, etc. A little polishing compound does winders for the soft nylon gearing, too.

They still look well suited to your track. I must finish work on my Cobra. Took it to bits for a Nova guide conversion and got distracted by the need to get some proxy cars out.

Cobras are great looking cars! I actually got a ride in a 1:1 Cobra "kit" car, some years ago. What a hoot! :lol: Carrera makes some good looking, fun to drive, cars. Enjoy!
