Sadly, many Fly cars were beautiful but flawed, usually with great bodies but dodgy running gear. Not so long ago, following commercial problems, Fly morphed into Flyslot and quality sank even lower. I've only bought eight Flyslot cars (as opposed to 100+ Fly cars), so it's not a huge sample, but all of them have been of worse quality than their Fly produced forebears, two being so bad that I returned them to the retailer. Problems have ranged from a BMW M1 with paint that rubbed off, to a March 761B that was missing a full set of exhausts.
Whereas in the past I was happy to buy a Fly car online (because the body was usually fine and only the running gear had problems) I will no longer buy a Flyslot car unless I've seen it in the flesh first; fixing running gear isn't too difficult, fixing dodgy bodies is.
My advice to you is to avoid buying the latest Flyslot cars unless you first see the actual car you're buying. The older Fly and GB Track cars are a much safer bet, although it's likely that you'll still need to do a small amount of remedial work or modification to get the car to run problem free.
Hopefully Flyslot will improve its quality control soon, before it fatally damages its brand's reputation.
