In some respects Teamslot beat larger rivals; for instance the Lancia Integrale Teamslot reproduction is a far more accurate depiction compared to the latest SCX variant.
However what let the early cars down were the stickers/decals, the decals appear to yellow due to the clear coat, particulary noticeable on white cars/areas. Also decals fitted rather wonky, I suppose it adds to the charm giving the cars a hand built appearance an all that, but frustrating nevertheless.
Also whilst on clear coat, some cars rather overdone in my opinion; gives the car a varnished wood floor (dimpled) appearance.
Driving, noisy! Great braking and once they have been given some attention go pretty well, one good thing is they work without magnets! I don't particulary care for speed, yes the cars are slower than other manufacturers, however race like for like, lack of speed never becomes an issue.
Going back to Günther's post, one area I would never criticise, is the choice of Teamslot cars, which are superb. Although I hate to say, the Cologne Capri, Escort's & BMW, ideal Fly fodder... I think it would be a perfect area for Fly to exploit once they finish producing cars in the Group 5 category.
