I still say this is probably the best car on the market currently...
again....does anyone know of a steel or aluminum replacement?
Thanks
Update on the Spool:
We have shot spools with a harder material and testing has proved them to be much better.
We are also making the drive cups out of Steel and Aluminum. Steel drive cups will come standard with the next batch of kits. They will also be sold separately. The aluminum ones will use a blade. I've been testing the aluminum ones for a month and it’s awesome. Second batch of kits, steel and aluminum drive cups due out in about a month.
Quick fix for the current spool:
We have started advising racers to use a wood screw for the spool. The size we found the best is a #5 5x5/8 button head. It needs to be trimmed about 2-3mm as it’s just a hair long. It keeps the drive cup in place really well. The screws can be purchased at your local hardware store.
