      Hi, I bought a total of 4 Compact Char-G’s(Australian) so far from Toys-R-Us and 2 of them were faulty, one with a slow motor and another which wouldn’t tur left, anyone else have trouble with these cars? I’ve read somewhere else on this forum that says the steering isn’t as robust because some wires weren’t insulated but thats as much as I’ve gleaned so far. Anyone?

      I have a couple of friends who both have had problems, a controller microswitch (turn right), has lost its ‘click’. It still works, but its like touch sensitive, with no audible click. The other has a slow motor in his red RX7, whereas my 1.0 motor is really fast compared to others i’ve seen. :smiley15:

      Hey The Kider

      So it looks pretty good then ?? Iv been thinking of painting my clear skyline either fluro green (like the Mistubishi Eclipse off Fast and the Furious) or Bright orange (like the supra in the Fast and the Furious) .. So was just wondering what the green looked like on the car = ) Good work !

      I painted it with aTamiya Fluorescent Green spray can.

      3 coats Green and2 coats clear.also brushed on the brake,blinker and texsted in the windows.

      It come up quite well.But the paint isn’t as bright as the spray can lid.But it still looks good.

      I hope they release a clear supra so you can paint it like F & the F.or you could paint over the silver one.
