Thanks Dan.
It's important to note that there are now two versions of those cars on the market. The only difference in the part number is the addition of the AV after the FW50101 model number (there's also the FW50102). Bodies are exactly the same.
As you can see in the picture I sent to Dan, the mechanical parts are mostly from AvantSlot now, with a stronger motor. I haven't run the car on the track (it's brand new in the box and I didn't want to mess with it before selling the car) but the gear mesh between the brass pinion and the plastic spur gear feels like it could be better. Maybe just a little adjustment will take care of that.
I was kind of hoping for a motor pod when the AvantSlot/FlySlot was announced. Maybe that will come later.
