So did one of my customers. I’ve not run it yet but it seems very smooth. I had to open it up and check it out. The chassis is Carrera Digital ready!!! I may need to get one myself and try to talk our racing group in to a series of these. I’d like to stock them but that’s a ton of money to put out hoping they will sell. They are beautiful.

You have no idea how much I really didn't want to give Alan the business but I figure they may
not be available for long.
Completely understand, it would be a risky investment.

I’m trying to order 2-3 for the shop. We’ll see how it goes. I really like that is digital ready.

I've been toying with picking up a BRM just because. They are sweet.

Bruce, you should bring one out to our next gathering and let everyone run it to compare it to the Carrera cars. For the price, I think most will need to be sold on the car by seeing and driving it. They are beautiful and I'm willing to hear your sales pitch and then at least take it for a test drive. Oh, and bring a Camaro... :lol: :auto-driving:

I was tossing up between that Mustang and the Sunoco Camaro - I went with the Camaro.
I have so far given it two descent runs - as my track isn't really suited to this car... the first run was at a mates track which is well rubbered in and the car was amazing - grip was great and the way it zipped around the corners was something else - we probably did 200 laps with it and it was pushing the lap record - which I thought was pretty impressive for a big car out of the box. The second run was on a bigger track - not as well rubbered in - the grip wasn't quite the same so it was a bit trickier to drive. A little more work on the tyres and I had it going well but not as grippy as on the first track. I have ordered some urethane tyres for it from PG so will do a comparisons when they arrive.
My next project is to buy a BRM rolling chassis and put it under a 1/24 cuda kit...
I like them...

I was going to send Paul a set of tires but I'm very happy to hear it's been done, thank you for the honest report.
