I got the Fly 250LM sidewinder running. It has the Slot Car Corner front axle blocks installed which required removing front chassis plastic and installing the grill surround without the screws. It was similar to the description in Ary’s McLaren how-to on our site. It is also running a slot.it orange bell with metal gears. That spacing of the gears was a challenge and almost pushed me to use the Fly short can black bell motor with the plastic gears. The rear axle is rolling in SCC bronze bearings. The guide is a slot.it long wood track model. The Fly model has beautiful interior detail which is what lead me to use the fly chassis sidewinder setup. The 3D printed chassis requires inline motor orientation that causes fabrication of a new flat interior. I did not want to do that if I could soup up the Fly sidewinder chassis. As a result of keeping the full interior I also have put in flat lead sheet and the tungsten weight in the magnet slot. The final touch is using the Racer premium wire wheels from my previous 275GTO and the tires. I ran best lap with the body of 4.6 =/-. The chassis alone was 4.4 and very stable.
