WoW do I stink with these! Finished 9th out of our group of 17 racers. Lost 18 laps of my 29 lap lead after SG+ Indy cars in February.
Here are some things I noticed:
For some reason people had trouble puttind them back in the slot. I think the problem was they look strange compared to cars. Lots of close but no cigar.
They are very sensitive to the joints on Tomy track. Any tab sticking up would send a bike cartwheeling down the track. Rail connections also caused crashes and in some cases caused the pick up shoe to get jammed at a strange angle. Restricting shoe travel should fix that.
One bike had a shoe that kept shorting out on the side of the motor.
Overall they weren't as bad as I thought they would be. Much better than the Aurora Thunderbikes.
Next year I am going to spring Tyco turbo trains on them.
