Ok, so I enthusiastically picked up these puppies from Gene and they came in today. Again, lightening fast delivery - thank you sir!
So, here's why I want them: possible use under my own bodies to run against my Carrera powered cars.
I'm off to a school board meeting tonight, so heavy testing will have to wait.
1) Good GOLLY are these loud!!! Will have to clean up the gears as others have.
2) The tires/wheels look too small, but probably because I'm used to the Carreras. I'll pull out the digital calipers later to see what they measure out to in 1/32 vs 1:1
3) They ran pretty decent out of the box, noise aside. I did pull the rear mag in 1 and ran a few laps. Not bad!
4) And most important to me: they'll work VERY easily under my stuff from the 2 bodies I tried!
5) No clearance issues, but it does look close.
More to come later, as I test it vs my Carrera RMS bodies and time them. I think they'll run pretty well together.
