Used Black Arrow Aston Martin DBR9?

[Modlerbob]

I just bought a used Black Arrow Aston Martin, I think it is a DBR9 but it may be a Vantage Definitely used but in really good shape except for a chipped rear wing end piece. The previous owner had worked on it but apparently wasn't happy with it's performance. I tried it with the stock 28K rpm motor and it was too much for my short track so I swapped in a Slotting Plus 21.5K rpm motor which improved things considerably. I noticed it is very light up front, so much so that the springiness of the guide braids pushed the front up about 1/16 inch so I will add a little lead behind the guide. The livery is very nice looking (black & red). Later today I'll take some pictures and add them to this thread.

It will look like new and run like a real Aston when your done. Enjoy it and put tons of miles on it

There is a very good set-up guide on the Black Arrow website for this car:

Scroll down to the English version, it is a pdf but loads very quickly.

I followed it to the letter and got my car to handle really well. The stock tires are not much good though, at least not on my wood track. Slot.it N22 or NSR Ultragrip are a better choice.
