don't buy, the price is way over the top, especially since we see a drop in prices of slot car related stuff, in general.
I can sell you one easy for 20 euro, and maybe even less if you don't mind a scratch or two. You can look in Ebay.nl and Ebay.de for most hits.
If you have a good one, it runs very smooth, but you do need very round tires, since any irregularity there makes the car bounce in corners very easily, and this will speed up the process of the rear axles bearing-holders to come apart (they dĂł that in time, when raced intensively), then you're in trouble!
Besides it's very hard to find new gear (pinion AND spur gear are unique, I found no other make that produces same types for replacement, you really have to find new-old stock originals, ALL OTHER TIPS/HINTS WELCOME!!!), and the axle diameter is nothing like others, you can not use other brands wheels, because you are held to the Fleischmann's wheels since the spurgear is mounted on the wheel instead of the axle, and the axle and motor shaft diameter is also different from anything else.....
The motors are unique to Fleischmann as well, NO OTHER MOTORS fit without fiddling around with some tools!!
But, in Holland they were the best sold system (commercially), the best tracks and the cars are also all very sturdy, so you won't be surprised I'm still very attached to my Fleischmann collection.
I still race on those tracks at home, as do many clubs, which is also wide enough for 1/24 scale racing and has a deep slot, you know, like club tracks. I can run close to anything on it, let alone exotics like Carrera "Universal" (which name is actually a joke, because there is NOTHING universal to that system, it should be Carrera Unique!! LOL), and the digital system is not adaptable for my track, since there are no lane changers ever made....
Anyway, look further, be patient, and you WILL find cheaper stuff.
