Oh dear, I've come over all 'vintage'!

Hi Jeremy, Fast is relative.......the Dino has had a few bits and pieces reworked/trued etc., (the motor itself has had the gimballed bushing replaced/soldered, magnets zapped/shimmed, new comm./arm shaft, a mild rewind/dynamic balance, and all new hardware,...so it is a very quick slot car, and much quicker than todays' plastic cars, but, when compared to some of its competitors of the era (Dynamic, Russkit, Champion, Riggen etc),....it is not that quick !!
