Fly Porsche GT1 Evo (Page 1 of 2)

Bill- I have the EVO 3. Fly Ref# 88253 Fly Racing Rally EVO 3. It has the motor pod with suspension and a very small magnet.  It never performed very well at the old Marshall Field but was really fun at Greg Hodges track. It does seem to be better on the current Timba track however

OK, I'm gettin' jazzed about the Fly "racing" cars. The Porsche GT1 EVO 3 looks pretty trick. Rico, how about some details?

You said it wasn't very good on the old Marshall Field track but better on the new track. So better on a flat track?
It worked good on Greg Hodge's routed track. Have you tried it on a 1/24 routed track yet?

So there are many different "racing" Fly cars. Would a class for any Fly cars work? Something like we started out with at BSCC with the Slot.It cars, only non-magnetic?

I'm thinkin' non-magnetic would even up the different types?

Mine does not have a pod and has the Evo2 motor.  Rico, what's yours got for a motor?  Same?

Like the Alfa in that first link.  Bill, did you find anyone with a good price on these cars?

Monte- Mine has the same motor: Fly Evo2 long can but it does have the motor pod and suspension.
Bill- I meant to run it at Jeff's last Saturday but left it in the car and it was too miserable to get it.  I paid around $55.00 for mine on Ebay quite a while ago, so prices may have gone up. We can compare them at the next race.

This Thursday is New Year's Eve, probably not a good night to do it.  The next Thursday is the 8th, we have a race on the 10th and BSCC on the 13th and I have already heard "only three days apart, how come?".....she tolerates this pretty well but with all our kids it is hard to corral them by yourself and help is always appreciated.  Don't let me scheduling issues affect the whole group, just let me know what's up and we'll see.

I think the difference between my car and Monte's is that mine was a Fly Racing Kit, with kit being the operative word.  I believe most of the others are RTR.  By the way, in typical Fly fashion, the provided axles would not fit through the rear bushings or fit the wheels, so I had to improvise and stole the ones off of the Spirit Reynard.  It came in a flexible plastic box with foam lining, not a hard case as most do. It has the lexan interior and I think a lighter body as well. I just found this at Electric Dreams: http://electric-dreams.com/Shop/index.php?cPath=48
They might not be that different afterall....

Rico

Oh yeah, forgot about the New Years deal....

The Electric Dreams info says the Evo2s come with metal wheels. Is that true Monte?

Are the Evo3s wheels plastic Rico? SCI indicated they call them something fancy but they're actually plastic.

Strontium, that's great!.....Hype impregnated plastic?

I like the looks of the Fly "racing" Porsche 911s also.....

I may wait to see the comparison between your EVO and Monte's to decide on which version to get.

I'm thinkin' about pickin' up the Fly Porsche GT1 EVO 2-R, and then buying a separate EVO 3 chassis.

Need to compare Monte's to Rico

Rico and I both have the cars so that's what started it.  I personally don't care for the Daytona Prototypes.

Fair 'nuff.  I understand exactly where you are coming from which is why we are starting to lean toward a FLY class with a spec motor.

I saw Rico run his Fly "whatchamucallit" at Jeff's. It looked like it has very good potential for racing on routed tracks! It was definately FAST! Even though it was extremely loose, it still seemed to go through the corners well.

You know what, I kinda like those little things!!!!.............They do look like great Autumn Hills cars!!!!  ---------Bill
