GALLERY: Porsche 917K


Fly Porsche 917K
'Vila Real' 1971


The ManicSlot Mini Review
Strengths:
  • The 917 K is a very popular slot that has a high collection status
  • Average 'from the box' magnetic performer, (will more than likely require some TLC)
  • Striking Sandeman livery and classic runner
  • Very high level of detail
  • Excellent paint and decal job, it's hard to ignore such a striking green livery
  • Once setup correctly, is a fantastic non magnetic runner
Weaknesses:
  • The 917 K (along with most of the Fly classic range) will require some modification and after-market parts if you are to get the most from it
Verdict:

Personally I love the Fly classic range and the Porsche 917K is no exception, this is a beautiful looking slot car on the track and just a joy to race. Once setup correctly, this is one of the fastest non-mag performers on my Carrera plastic track.  With a decent motor and rear rubber upgrade these beauties can easily match the performance of a NSR 971K on track.
