Mine also received Micro Trains trucks and body mounted couplers. They run great frontwards, backwards, fast and slow in 50+ car trains.

I have all of the N scale Helium cars. Replaced the pizza cutter wheels with low profiles and the pins with number two screws to remove the wobble that the plastic truck pins cause. Added weight to bringthem up to NMRA stanadards, They run well with no derailments.

Yeah, well I'll skip a Rapido version.
I bought two dozen of the Flexi Flo cars. One had a deformed coupler . Three months to get a replacement car from Rapido.
I bought the Turboliner from Rapido. One loco truck fell out when removing it from the box. After about 1.5 months, received replacement loco. Bad truck, derailed every lap on the layout over a turnout.
( My other 130+ locos don't derail there). Rapido said it was normal. I sent the loco back and didn't hear from them again. After another month, I got my money back from Visa.
Rapido kept the locomotive but never sent me a Return Label for the rest of the set. That's how worthless it is.
The Atlas helium car may be a bit klunky, but it stays on the track. I'll keep that one.

While I haven’t done this, I just saw where Rapido is making them in HO, so they may do them in N scale next. The HO model is very detailed…
