Hi,
I agree, with Fly cars, if its possible check them in the flesh first.
Sorry to jump on the bandwagon. When Fly first appeared on the market their cars were superior to everything else I bought RTR (Scalextric, SCX and Ninco) and were probably one of the reasons Scalextric upped their game in terms of detail, quality and performance. I bought numerous early Fly cars (2 x Viper, 2 x Marcos and 2 x Venturi and many others). Back then Fly weren't that expensive, at worst £30 and much faster then Scalextric out the box without any work.
The past few years FLy/Flyslot have made nicely detailed cars but with serious quality control issues and bumped the price up to approx £45. I have not had problems with the body work but I have had numerous cars with duff gears and won't run at all until I replaced the pinion gear so the gears meshed and turned each other. I bought the recent Alfa TZ2 and just can't cure a strange noise caused by a rear wheel.
I agree Fly really need to sort out their quality control, then they can claw back customers and their reputation.
I used to think FLy were the best, now I avoid them as much as possible as I don't want to buy a car I have to dismantle before I can use it.
I hope Fly read these comments and get the problems sorted out.
Many thanks
Matthew
