I have three Evolution versions of this car, as well as four NSR versions. The 917K has always been one of my all time favorite cars! Cool that you finally got one in 1/32!
Hi Masimo, I've got one of the 917K in the psycodelic Martini liveree and yes, it's my fastest Carrera car. I've tuned this car, with some trued "Ortmann" (om33t) tyres. I don't know if you can buy Ortmann Tyres in Canada. And changed the Guide for a "Frankenslot" (V3.0 for Carrera)guide! It fits the Carrera Tracks, specialy the lanechanger, even better than the originally carrera guide! Gratings from Germany Frank
Hi Frank, I love that livery, so unique. I hear only great things about Ortmann tires, there’s a little hard to come by on this side of the pond but might be worth looking into. I have a few of the Frankenslot guides and can say that they are a big improvement over the stock Carrera guide. Cheers brother! Thanks for the comment ✌🏼
Great video (great slide too) - you've motivated me, I've got an analogue 917K that has been sitting dormant since I went digital, I'm going to have to get a chip in for that now :)
Thanks buddy! Haha I thought you’d like it 😂 Yes I don’t think you’d regret dusting that thing off and given her a run. I’m very impressed with it. Cheers ✌🏼
I can finally say that this is a great Carrera car to have and run, highly recommend! I haven’t run a Lola T70 in 1/32 but I’ve heard great things about that one too. The 1/24 Lola’s are a blast to drive.
Hey there again massimo, I have the exact same 124 scale 917. I was planning on weathering mine also, yours looks so good!! Can you explain how you did it, or even make a video on it? Thanks!!
Nice Nick! Yeah I can attempt to do a video, Boones Slot Car Garage has a great video on weathering cars where I took this inspiration from, I highly recommend check it out also. Cheers buddy ✌🏼
These are such sweet cars, they have a compact look and build, the wheelbase is the same as the much ballyhoo'd Cheetah=short. The 917 of course way out handles the Cheetah, I got this same #26 a week ago, and its a flyer. I think mine is broken in now after a couple hundred laps at least. I sanded the stock tires but I have a tire order ready to put in. The only place I found these was Ali Express, mine was digital outta the box. I cant say the 917K motor is fast, but its not slow. They do vary. Ali Express had or has some of these in Gulf livery in Evolution. About 100.00 delivered to the US.
Yeah it actually is the same wheelbase as the Cheetah. Nice! I need to get some tires for it next. Honestly AliExpress has so many goodies that you can find anywhere. Ahhhh those Gulf ones always look so darn sharp
Ciao Massi, questa 917k sarebbe la mia macchinina preferita, ma al mio club è considerata illegale per le nostre Sunday races (Carreras GT/DTM only allowed). Domanda: quel motore è un 18k rpm, o maggiore ??? Non sapevo che la 917k non montasse il classico motore E200!
Great score, that was awesome of Conquest...the car looks great, handles really well. Great sound running the course..nice driving Massimo..
Very awesome of him indeed. Thanks Dafingers, as always appreciate the support buddy ✌🏼
I have three Evolution versions of this car, as well as four NSR versions. The 917K has always been one of my all time favorite cars! Cool that you finally got one in 1/32!
Awesome Dave! Yeah they’ve always been one of my favourite real life cars as well! Took me way to long to get a 1/32 of it! Glad I finally did
Great stuff! I just bought an analog version of this Carrera 917 to go with my 2 Fly 917s. Love those Le Mans classics!
Nice brother, the fly versions look outstanding. Yet to try one. Same the Le Mans classics just look awesome. Cheers mate ✌🏼

The 917 is definitely on my wish list. Also a Lola T70. Car looks great running your track!!!

The 1/24 Lola’s are a blast to drive.
This is my favorite Carrera car I own.
After this little run I can see why. Very nice car, it’s easily in my top 5 for Carrera cars.
Great video Mass, that car is hawt! 👍
Very hawt 🥵 haha
Awesome car mate
Thanks brother
Glad you like it brother

G'day massiom, do you polish the floor LOL 🤣 😆 great review 👏 👍
Lol I can’t reveal the secret to the slide 😂
Very nice!,,,Now you need all the different car liveries 8~D better rear tires and Slot Invitation guide.
😂 oh man that could get expensive. The tires and guide for sure! Cheers Chris ✌🏼
@@MPSlotCar Not all at once, here, there and when any deals come around.....or about a slot car a month is my bad habit.
I love the 917K from Carrera
Yeah I’m impressed with it, it has a lot of potential

Try the NSR version of the car, and fit it with a chip.
I’ve seen a few guys running the NSR versions at the club track! They look and perform phenomenally! For sure on my radar to buy.
Hi! How big is this track?
My current layout is 18 ft by 8ft
@@MPSlotCar cool! im looking to build my first track. do you think i could make a good track thats around 14x4?
@@erikslan oh yeah I’m sure you can fit something decent on that!
