Italian trouble...

Hi guys...
Together with one of my race-buddies I bought a new Fly Alfa 147.
I have the red one, he has the white one... the third race-buddie will wait untill the new version comes out and races my SCX Seat Leon in our "Hot Hatch Cup" for the moment...
We raced it a while last night... (on mondays we race endurances) and both Alfa's had trouble with the front wheels... in fact... only with the right front wheel... so we both had to give up our race... and the Leon won both the races...
The first 50 laps my Alfa drove great... I love how the car drives... it's pretty fast on the straights and you can go late on the brakes with it... (like the Leon)... The white one drove not that good... (or was it the driving style? I had a 7.0 on my track, the white one had a 7.7). But in lap 60 the car slowed down very much... and after a good checkup we saw the right front wheel was much looser then the left one... and it hit the fender constantly...
We checked the white Alfa on that... and it was also the right front wheel that was rubbing against the fender... and the left one was in place... just like mine...
Strange ha? Do you guys have the same problems? If it was only my 147 that has the right wheel trouble, I would try to fix it without making a fuss about it... But I think it's strange both our Alfa's have the same flaw...
So, do you guys have the same problems? And if yes... what did you do to fix it?

Hey guys...
I kept testing the Alfa with switched axles last night, and I have to say, it's defenetly one axle who is't in the shape it should be... so I mailed Aaron of Gaugemaster Controls about it... and the generous bloke is going to send me a set of spare axles for the 147... (in the same package of the rear Ferrari 365 axle)...

I hope the little thingies will arrive soon in Belgium!!!

In the mean while... i'll start a wave to thank Aaron... because it isn't easy to get spare parts for a car that hasn't the obvious problems know to (slot)mankind like the Bmw 3.5 CSL and the Ferrari 365...

That should be a big enough wave for Aaron!! At least the stub axle on my Corvette seem to be equal
