Ride on Harry. My Sebring C8.R No. 3 is by far my best running Carrera Car, next to my McLaren 720s ones. If you tap on the right side of the C8.R, if standing on the track in the slot, or on a setup-plate, you will notice, that it is not sitting straight on the track. It wobbles on left side of the back. If you remove the chassis, it won`t wobble, but it does, if the body sits onto the chassis. I fixed it, by putting a washer with 5mm in diameter and 0,5mm thickness on the right post, where the body sits on the chassis. That will lvel it just fine. All Carrera 132 C8.R`s have that issue. It is a production failure by Carrera, which they never fixed. In terms of the M4, get rid of the axxles and throw them right into the garbage, because those new rims by Carrera are a catastophy in my eyes. If you use new axxles by slot.it and new aluminum rims, plus PU`s, it will run way better. Or, if you have a Carrera 132 BMW M6, use those axxles with the elder rims on it. On the front, the M6 axxles are a bit too wide, but that can be fixed, mounting a distance ring made of plastic, cutting it and putting it onto the axxle than. The tires are the same as the M6 ones, so that way you have the same dimentions, if putting Paul Gage tires on it. All I did to my C8.R`s, was putting PU`s on the rims of the rear-axxles and they run just fine. I could do more, but not necessary, so far. 🙂 Greets over, to you 🙂

Absolutely beautiful Harry! Hard to beat a Carrera for the money. Thanks for sharing.

Carrera kick ass because of the quality and ease of use 👍

Can't beat the look of those M4s

[@Drummerboy67]

You’re right, my friend, most of my cars are careras the best bang for your buck. I’m not into giving $100 bill for each car. (no don’t get me wrong. I do have a couple 1/24 builds,and NSR‘s and Slot it’s are pretty nice also to adjust and tune ,good looking cars without hitting $100 bill again )Those are sweet looking cars great livery details! Thanks for sharing very inspiring brother.👍😊🏎️🏎️🏎️

Nice picks

[@Clearwater124]

2 nice picks Harry.

What does your minimal tuning include?

[@Homeracingworld]

@@GST_Racing I’ll change tires to Paul Gage urethane for my wood track surface.

[@GST_Racing]

@@Homeracingworld Nothing else?

[@Homeracingworld]

@@GST_Racing not really. Just make sure it's lubricated, which it normally is and adjust the braids for good contact. All sorts of mods you can do of course, but to keep it simple and save $$$ just a tire swap and some tire sanding to get them clean and true.

[@GST_Racing]

@@Homeracingworld Good to know, thank you.
