New Carrera Aston Martin
Posted: Mon Oct 07, 2013 8:29 amThis car has been out a couple months be I just got around to getting mine.
As most people know the Carrera 124 cars are fantastic. The slight downside are the axle trueness( I'm not sure that's a word). 99% of them run very well with just a little work.
Did we just get lucky or has Carrera turned a corner?? I have 3 customers that have the new Aston Martin DB9. They are raving over this car claiming that they trued the tires, stock front, rear silicone, and ran it. I was not really buying the stories. I have 2 Aston Martins and neither are go to cars. It's sad because I want to be. Well I finally talked myself into giving the AM one more try. Thank Goodness I did. The axles were some of the truest so far. Normally there is a laundry list of things to do to this car. I literally trued up the wheels a little and the tires. After a handful of laps, this car was my 2nd fastest car in the fleet. Hopefully, this is the future and not the case of a good run.
