I've just bought one of those, my first new slot car since 1980 ! I was recreating my set from when I was a kid but when I saw the Dukes of Hazard I had to have it. Mine is also a bit noisy but hopefully I can fix it as per the link posted here

As a RC car person, that sounds like where two gears meshing not quite squarely, or something is throwing the mesh out.

As others have said, initially sounds like gear mesh - but could be an issue with how the bushings are seated (or not seated). Removing the body and a close inspection should allow you to sort it out straightaway and give it a fix.

As other commenters have said, check the gear mesh to see if it's good and that no gears are cracked. I have a lot of Pioneer cars and have never had problems with the wheel bearings, but I suppose that could be it or one may not be snapped in all the way. Cheers, I hope it's an easy fix!

I concur on the gears not meshing up correctly.

Could be the motor or axle isn’t clipped in correctly causing a gear mesh Had that happen to a couple cars

😮Put toothpaste on the gears and let it run in under 6V, rear wheels off track, for 2h. Just a little and best if you use whitening toothpaste, as it has some kind of polishing sand in it. Oil bushings once in a while.

I’m miles behind too there aren’t enough hours in the day!! I glued in the bushings and the interior cab was quite rattly so I glued that in place and it’s so much better now!
