Such a beauty! Must be a batch of mouldings - mine had the same issue with the plastic screw holding it in the box being super-tight. Looking forward to seeing the tuning process!
Hi is your 720 noisy ? mine goes fine on a Club track but is fairly noisy, expert club members have tried and given up finding solutions 😁 car handles really well and is a wee bit slower but i can live with that, cheers Mike
Hi Mike. Yes. I owe everyone the last part of the tuning video to conclude, but I agree. I've done many things across many tunes to calm the rattles and noises, but this car, while quick and great handling, runs as if something is rattling around. It may be the way the body rests when achieving float. It could be gear lash, however unlikely. It could be pod to chassis connections. Either way, what I can say is that this car is on par with my Slot.it and Scaleauto GT cars when it comes to performance and that is what matters most to me! Thanks for the feedback.
Having just got delivery of my new Sideways 720s, I have fallen at the first hurdle... I couldn't get the pin out from underneath of the box base... So looked at this video for the solution. It appears you had the same problem, but omitted to show the exact procedure that I was looking for. So, sorry, no points for that one my friend . I gave up before I broke something, so it is still attached. Did you just pull down hard with the pliers after first lining up the 2 dots on the box base with the pointed part of the plastic bolt head, or as you say, just turned the pin through 90 degrees and pull with the pliers. As you have rotated the pin several times in the video, and not shown how you did it, could you at least show the other end of the pin, to give an idea of how it is SUPPOSED to come out, or show how you actually did it please.
Great point and so sorry you are having the same issue. Let me review it and at least get you a picture. I'm sure it ended up awkward and wasn't capable of showing up close what it looked like but I'll at least try to get you a visual cue for lining things up when you pull. I get it, it shouldn't be that hard, but for some reason this car must have a chassis manufacturing deal with the mold making that opening too small.
It is simply a pass thru plastic horizontal bar on the other side of the nut, not like the old group 5 cars that had a plastic screw in them. I believe it could be even wise to dremel tool the nut off if it felt like you can't estimate the alignment is true for you to grab with pliers. Unfortunately, youtube doesn't allow posting pics in comments. If you email me I can share something perhaps
@@hobbitracing I took it down to my local slot car club last night, and someone removed it for me. The "T" on the end of the nut is only 6mm long and the slot in the underside of the car is 8mm long so I can't see why it's so reticent to undo. But problem now solved, many thanks for your help and prompt reply😃👍
So. In our club we run the baby raptor and king with the MX16 23k they both run very well together test and tune one of each and you might be surprised
Nice info and agreed, not surprising at all. We have 2 classes (NSR GT & Group5) with the baby king. Then (GT High Performance, DPi, LMP, GrpC, Slot.it Classics) with MX-16 (or a Piranha). There's interchangeable nature. Slightly lower rpm, but the torque or the other way around. It's great to have them all fit in. Thanks for the feedback!
Good video 😊
Thanks for the feedback!

Nice hearing I wasn't alone in the troubles getting it out of the jewel box. Other than that, fun stuff on the way in the tuning!
