Great video and thanks for not editing it. Those are my favorites because we’re all in the same boat lol that’s a nice looking car. I like the hood logo and design. Thanks for sharing my brother cheers 🍻
Hi Mo. So, the sticker helps a lot!??? LOL :-) Funny outro, eh! Here comes the German Hermann critics now. 🙂 Why put oil onto the axxle so early? You had the oil on your finger then and smeared it onto the car. and elsewhere. Snap in the bearings with the axxle without oil on it. Plastic does not like oil. Put it on, if you did the final installment of the axxle later. That way you prevent to smear it over the axxle which will catch dust and hairs right there, where the oil sticks. Only the bearings need the oil. ;-) After you snapped the axxle and bearings in, shove the axxle from side to side and check if it runs free. No oil still need here. You could turn the chassis 90 degrees and see, if it runs free by the gravity tending to fall out then. It should run free out of the bearings. If not, check the right fit of the bearings. That aslo goes with ball bearings. You had the old axxle, so use that as your measure for the fitting of the new axxle on both ends of the axxle/rims. This helps, if you don`t have the right space in the wheel box, or if you don`t want an overhang of the wheels. Sometimes the axxle is just too long, so there needs to be a cutting then. If you installed the axxle, make sure, that there isn`t too much overhang on the axxle-ring of the rim by the axxle. Just a slight millimeter on the outside is fine. Before full tightening of the Gear, tighten the wheels first. When slightly pre-tightened, you can than correct the right distanceit of it . If you aligned the axxle on both sides, tighten just one rim fully and than tighten the other, but leave just a little play. Than fully tighten the Gear-Wheel finally. This helps to get the right routine to it. Once done a few times, you will be fine. No master has ever felt from the sky, means we all start somewhere and get to fine line eventually. Be careful with that screwdriver on other Motors to release the pinion. On Carrera Motors, that might not really matter too much, but you could damage the Motor Shaft. If you have a tool for that, use it! ;-) I saw, you had ball-bearings in the extra bag. Install these instead of the brass ones. The brass ones, you can use for an extra front axxle, for instance. You either lay the ball-bearings over night into an alcohol bath, or like I do it. I use a pencil-torch to get rid of the oil inside by the manufacturer. Than grease it up. I won`t have to wait for another day that way. But be careful, not to overheat it, while doing it. Those ball-bearings give you way more free fine spin on the rear-axxle. Some also install them in the front , as well. Check the measure of diameter on the inner ring, that snaps in. Often, they fit without filling out the holder on the chassis. But if there needs to be a treatment, that helps to loosen the tension onto the chassis. If it snaps in and you won`t remove the axxle often after, glue it in. But before glueing, if it fits right in and holds by itself tight, push the outer flansh of the bearing towards the chassis, so that there will be a tight alignment of it.Than glue it in. Just a tip of a tooth-pick full of super-glue goes well and holds it in place. The glue will run onto it by itself, if you position it right at the point, where the chassis holds it on both sides. That way, you can remove it better, instead of applying too much glue onto and braking something off! Than finally smear the Gear-Wheel and Pinion, plus the gap between the Motor-Shaft and the Gearwheel-Flansh. A little drop on the tip of the Shaft is good, because right here is the friction of the unit in curves. Voila, you are good to go! Yeah, me again, being a slick guy. But it works that way, Brother! 🙂
lol no critics or criticism! Like hearing everyone’s input. That’s how I learn, and get ideas on how to do things better. I’m still fairly new in the hobby, at least to this level so anything I can absorb from the veterans of the hobby I’ll take!! Thanks as always Bo! You da best!
@@MPSlotCar :-) You are not new in the hobby. Maybe in terms of tunning, but once you got the procedure soaked up, it will be a lot easier. Lots of cars to tune therefore than. 🙂
Great hop up there MP I just got some of them myself and I notice and improvement to the car on my track I'm going to order a couple More. Thanks for the Video.
Hi Massimo, another improvement would be Carrera tuning motor 230000RPM from LEB Hobbies. I used one in my Ferrari 512. It certainly improves performance.
Hi Randy, you’re absolutely right. Oiling was done again prior to running but I unfortunately I do need to buy more grease next time I head out to the club track. Couldn’t for the life of me find mine 😬 thanks for watching, cheers! ✌🏼
DTM cars just look nice no matter if you see it in a picture,toy or in real life just the best design of cars🔥
They do look awesome at all angles. Cheers mate!
Well done MP! Always great to revive an old car! It’s alive!! The DTM kits are great!! Oscar for the win!
Oscar is the man! Thanks Marty, cheers! ✌🏼🏁
Great video MP. Now, let’s true the front and rears and pop that magnet out to take it to the next level.

Haha glad you like it Ricky! Cheers slot brother ✌🏼🏁
Nice one Mass, cheeky little upgrade never goes a miss bro
Thanks Pete! 🙌🏻😄
Very NICE!! I’m going to try out the Slot-It DTM kit. Should be a good improvement!! Happy Racing!!!
I can see getting into this! Thanks for the demo!🏁

These kits are totally worth it. Happy to hear you’re having similar results brother! Happy racing! 🏁
Hi Massimo, another improvement would be Carrera tuning motor 230000RPM from LEB Hobbies. I used one in my Ferrari 512. It certainly improves performance.
I’ve seen those and have been curious to give them a go. I can imagine the difference they make
@@MPSlotCar That should have been 23000RPM
Great job Bello. spin it bella nice nice lol. what model is that SI motor press you're using? They have two versions/sizes no?
Brilliant Video my Slot Brother
Thank you brother! ✌🏼😄
Great hopup there brother!!!!! Looks like it's a runner now!!!! Seems it will improve if you drive it longer!!!
Thank you my Slot Brother! Yeah needs some more running, she can only get better from here on out
HI Massimo. what programme do you use to get the sector times?? Thanks Max
Hi Max, I use the SmartRace App.
G'day massiom great review awesome work 😮😊😊
Thanks Rhys!
cool upgrade may have to do a couple now.
It’s a pretty decent upgrade for our Carrera cars.
Nice upgrade kit MP
If your happy with the look of the rims then you do you
I’d refer 4 rims the same but it ain’t my car
🍻
Normally I’m like you, I like things to be uniform! Still may make inserts for them 🤷🏻♂️
Great video! Does this kit fit on GT3 cars?
I believe they have a kit for GT cars 🤔 but it’s currently not on their site. I would have to follow up with Oscar at SI to see if these would work.
@@MPSlotCar thanks! I'll check it out...
Massimo....will the SlotiT screws work in 124 Carrera's?
Hi. Yeah I have them in one of my 124 Carreras.
@@MPSlotCar Cool, I'll have to ty some, thanks Mass.
Well done 👍
Thanks brother!
Hey Massimo , you should bring it up to my truck and put in some laps
There’s an idea
More than welcome to race
Need to oil and grease...
Hi Randy, you’re absolutely right. Oiling was done again prior to running but I unfortunately I do need to buy more grease next time I head out to the club track. Couldn’t for the life of me find mine 😬 thanks for watching, cheers! ✌🏼
Way too much time on your hands. Didn't even know this is a thing.
Yeah mate, it’s a fun hobby.
