QUOTE (Dopamine @ 9 Jul 2011, 19:29) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Dismantling the car requires removing the gearbox casing, which conceals a small screw that holds the rear wing in place and also clamps the top and bottom shell halves together.Took a bit of figuring out that...
QUOTE (cabbyman @ 13 Jul 2011, 11:16) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Is there any chance of a few pictures of the underside and inside of this model, I'm curious to have a look at the crown and pinion.I have not gotten around to taking a picture yet but I just took mine apart and there is a VERY significant and pleasant surprise: Fly is to be commended for placing a spacer between the crown gear and the bushing, therefore positively locating the crown gear! As far as regularly priced inline cars go, I cannot offhand recall any manufacturer doing this. It might be a case of necessity being the mother of invention as it looks like the crown gear was meant for a 2mm motor shaft while the FF50 motor has a 1.5mm shaft, but I still like it. If I were to be nitpicky I could also say that the resultant mesh is a bit tight for my taste, but this will probably improve with some running.
Looking forward to getting this on the track.

He lost the arms race? But then again, he was always quite a disarming fellow. And now he would struggle to keep the competition at arm's length.
