Johnny, it's definitely not a problem with the model as the 917K that I use for racing runs rather well. All I did for mine was loosen the screws and just simply run her in. It took a few laps to really feel confident with her, but now It flies (pardon the pun).
In fact 2 to 3 years ago, a chap (name unknown) came to our club with a heavily modified 917 (different motor, stronger magnet, different wheels, tyres etc), and I just simply blew him out of the water with a box standard model.
I find the 917 a joy to drive as it drifts round the bend, with the magnet being that bit higher from the track. I think the important thing to remember her is not to drive it like other Fly cars.
