I never had a Fly or a GB Track car that needed major work. Not once. More often than not, there are some hilarious antics from them right from the box, but nothing even close to a major fault. As I said before, go read the post "Fix that Fly" by Slotpoor on HRW. If you want to see cars that are useless without spending big money to fix them, buy a Le Mans Miniature. Expensive beyond reason to start with, then- they don't run.
I'd choose Fly over a number of RTR cars available today, for the money and for the quality. But Fly is gone. Don't think for a minute that these very expensive cars that are coming out now are the old Fly reborn. When something that is an acceptable expense doubles in price, it becomes half as acceptable. That goes for these twits on Ebay who want $100 for a $30 car, just because its a few years old. If it wasn't for twits who would pay that, falling for the "collectible, rare" fraudulent label, we could still have loads of the cars in trade all over the world, because the price wouldn't have been inflated, encouraging pointless hoarding.
There. Sermon ended. Benedictus.
