Hello everyone, I've just recently had my Slot-it Gulf Ford GT40 (in fact I've had two of them). One of them I'd taken apart after a short run round my track, I'd noticed that on the set-up block the front tyres were well clear of the block so set about adjusting the front axle and sure enough the right hand grub screw was tight and then suddenly gave and it did appear to be glued in but I didn't think anything of it until I've just read this thread, I used a pair of longer spare grub screws on the underside of the chassis and removed the axle blocks, was then able to perfectly set the front axle.
I did notice that there were no eyelets on the motor wires (they looked as though they were just pushed in to the guide, something else I'd better check), I also found the rear axle assembly to be tight, it was much improved after re-setting, I also fitted a rear suspension kit which was a bit fiddly and replaced the rear tyres with a pair of 21x11 P6's, as yet its had only a small amount of running.
There were some minor blemishes on the paint over the left rear wheel arch (the other car was perfect however, body wise) haven't checked the running gear on this one as it was not going to be used.
I also have a Fly Gulf Ford GT40 and was glad to see that the Slot-it version didn't have the inaccuracies that were on the front wheel arches of the Fly version.
Robert.
