OMG!!! Castrol Pitworks skyline rocks!!! Just had to get one of those with the lights and w/o the turning front wheels to compare and Wow! The Pitworks Skyline is sweet! The paint and decoration on it is great and yes, w/o the turning wheels, the wiggling reverse is nonexistent, although getting a little happy with the throttle will make it spin.
The lights are cool, especially when using the UFO code on the Propo Special. Good thing I don't hav a pet cat or dog, It would probably drive them nuts. The spinning thing with the LED's really does look like a UFO.
Funny, but it seems almost as if the Skyline takes off faster than the RX-7 even though they're both set to the same setting on the Propo Special.
Also, as Adam pointed out, the mount for the front axles is the same so it's really easy to pop the RX-7's turning front wheels into the Skyline. Well, you do need to squeeze 'em under the lights, but it's not difficult. As far as handling goes, hmmm... the Skyline actually handles really well, as far as turning and all that go. Also, w/o the tunring front wheels, it doesn't have the bump steer problem the RX-7 exhibits and obviously, tracks a straight line much better in reverse. The RX-7 though is much easier to drift nicely.
I tried inputting the drift setting that I found on some of the threads here and couldn't quite understand why people use it until I got the Skyline to compare. The RX-7 can be drifted at max speed and acceleration setting, although obviously at those speeds, the drifts are a little wide. I found it very difficult to drift the Skyline with max setting though. It would skid, but I couldn't really HOLD a drift at that speed unlike the RX-7. With the drift setting though, I found it too slow, and the drift wouldn't last very long on my kitchen's linoleum floor. Usually not more than a few inches as opposed to the RX-7 at full speed where I could drift a nice curve for a foot or two. Maybe it's the difference in traction with my kitchen floor, and what people drift on with the setting.
For the moment, I'll leave the RX-7's front axle with it, 'cuz I think if I try putting it in the Skyline, the RX-7 just might end up gathering dust
