Well here is what I saw.
:thumbsup: The new Ultra g+ chassis is good, handles well, stays in the slot well. There are a few New problems, The first I saw is the rear axel has no side to side movement and it makes the wheels stiff, I filed down the boss on the crown gear and the car ran great. The second thing was a plastic build up on the cluster gear where it sits on the chassis, a little file all gone. They now have the holes for the lights so I suspect we shall see T-jet flamethrowers shortly.

:thumbsup: X-traction flamethrowers. I was pleasantly suprised whith the new spring. it sat well, made a good light connection, and the cars ran great out of the box. I did have one that the brushes were getting hung up on the commutator but after a knock down, adj, and rebuild problem gone. I have been quite critical of the AW product in the past but I must give credit where it is due, The r4 cars are a hit in my opinion!

I forgot one on the xtrac I had to file down the solder on the spring it was interfering with the shoe.

I agree. I haven't bought any F/T yet but I have several of the ultra-g and I like what they have done with it. No more buying magnets from radio shack it already comes equipped.
