Thank you Junkion It’s not easy to make a video So we appreciate you taking the effort to show collectors the details which may not be properly conveyed via the instructions manual. For the belt. You can actually apply some force to try to elongate the rubber to loosen the tension and that should solve the issue of the blower not sitting well.
The blower top flame effect is “slippery” on the chrome blower due to the smooth surface of the electro plated surface. But it should still hold. Unless the on/off switch is a little too much protruding out which causes the unbalance. Using a hobby snipers to snipe off the excess length can solve the problem. For the Flame Head. It is a little tight but you can heat it up in boiling water for a few seconds and insert it into the same figure you have there.
Also, the engine block actually “locks” into the engine compartment with a “click fit” Noticed in one of the frames that the blower is slanted to the left , because the engine isn’t levelled and not clicked into its position.
I had a 68 Torino Coupe for 20+ years that looks very similar in style of a muscle car, which is why I purchased this. It’s cool, and yes it’s long, but I would say my Torino is as long as our current F-150 extended cab. 😂 Just the nature of 60s and early 70s sexy muscle cars.
That’s an amazing looking car. Honestly not bothered by the panel seams on flat black (orange might be different). The front view with lights on is a fantastic design. Doors seem kinda thick?
Hi Machineman. Thanks for the comment. Honestly, when you have the vehicle in hand, the seams don't' jump out at you. Ace did do a video during the Racer's production and explained the design decision regarding them, and I think it was a smart choice. A lot of the design queues really bring some nuance to the vehicle as a whole. Add on the customization of the magnetic front and back pieces, I'm still excited to pull it from the shelf and play. I've seen some really fantastic pictures from collectors and toy photographers creating some fantastic art using the light and articulation features; I mean suspension and the ability to simulate steering with the front axel? Soo much fun. The doors..I don't feel they're overly thick. I think they're proportional in width to the rest of the vehicle, especially with the design playing homage to the actual Charger car. Did you get a Racer? If now, would you get one if Ramen Toy issued a version two? What about their other vehicle options? I'd love to hear back from you.
@@junkioncraftsandbuilds My collecting days are behind me, so I’m a toy spectator. I had a couple of issues when this first started but after seeing the quality, 10 years ago me would order it. Basic vehicle with the intent to modify and make more functional accurate to the source. Separate circuit for each light and hardwire a control box. Replace the 3 bulb tail light lens for something more opaque because the 3 visible lights is kinda weird. And if we’re dreaming, cut out the existing sound board and replace with a recording of ignition and choppy idle.
Thank you Junkion

I'm happy to hear you like you Racer. I'm definitely in love with mine!
