Well, they're finally in my hands and they if they roll at all

edit: I brought my new acquisitions home to commence with the unpackaging ceremony. The finish & detail on these cars is absolutely stunning. It almost seems like a shame to muddle them with fingerprints...ok, not really. I haven't weighed them yet, but the 'Superfine Turbine' feels a few grams heavier than the 'Pit Crew Car'. The Neo-Classic redline wheels spin rather freely on the axles, but with a minor hint of harmonic resonance. And the bent-axle front suspension on the 'Superfine Turbine' is fully functional, which was a bit of a surprise. On the track, both cars appear to roll & track extremely well, although the 'Pit Crew Car' seems to hold its momentum a bit better. So far, so good...I hope to race them against some of my other cars this weekend to better gauge their performance...I'm just too tired to set up a complete 2-lane coarse tonight.

The Pit Crew Car rolls 'fast' mainlines would easily defeat it)...the heavier Superfine Turbine is a bit slower. They're both great for 'on track' nostalgia purposes, if nothing else. I've been working a lot of hours lately and haven't had a chance to set up the track and shoot some vids...maybe this weekend.

Thanx 4 askin'.

How about a couple of 'still' shots too.

Unfortunately, I am 'digicam challenged'...but I think I might try to edit some static footage into the videos. I'll also be testing my recently acquired 'Classics', so there will be lots of 'spectraflame' paint on the Fat Track this weekend.

OK, I put this 1 minute video together this morning. The Pit Crew Car is featured in the beginning, the Superfine Turbine is shown briefly at the end. Also included, a few of my recently acquired 'Classics' series cars and a few runs with my 'Hot Ones' `57 Chevy that GspeedR
