Carrera Digital 132 Carrera First Responder
Item No.: 30861
Finally, he's standing before me. The new first responder from Carrera.
The mini-truck series, for which designer Leifer fought for many years, caused long discussions in the club at the beginning:
Who needs that? Better bring more race cars, blah blah blah, and so on. The usual stuff when you bring something outside the racing mainstream.
Honestly, I like the cars. And I'm not saying that because I should write a positive review about the vehicle. I really like them. I think the tanker is great, and I also like the new fire engine.
The only thing I don't like about the cars so far is that they're all red. Okay, that's just what a fire engine needs. But the tanker, in particular, offers wonderful color possibilities, as does the tow truck.
I could also imagine a German version of the fire extinguisher. The "R" on the side doors probably stands for Responder or Rescue. In any case, the color scheme fits the picture.
There isn't much to say about the driving behavior, although contrary to expectations, the small trucks are not as slow as initially feared.
My only criticism of the vehicle is that the first responder's sound module is the same as the one in the tanker and the tow truck. There could have been more.
Otherwise, there's nothing wrong with the pickup truck. As with the previous vehicles, the workmanship is high-quality and flawless, and I couldn't find any fault with the paintwork either.
If you want something special on the track (apart from the usual racing series), the fire engine is a good choice.
I hope that this series will continue for many years to come, and I'm sure our designer has a few more ideas up his sleeve.
And the car is also good for a few special models…
Best regards
