Hi Guys

We have made a small 4 lane SCX Compact Track for the show...



We will be running Kyosho Dslot43 and SCX Compact cars on the track.

That has to be the most mental crossover sequence that I`ve ever seen Mudchukka! ohmy.gif
If anyone reading this thread is going to Gaydon, then you should try out those little Kyosho DSlot43 cars..really good..
Cheers
Kev.

I'll be checking that out smile.gif

Do you know if anyone will be selling SCX Compact stuff at the festival?

Especially track - it'll be good to have something 1/43 scale to run those Kyosho cars on...

Pleased you`re giving them a go Andy!
SCX compact & Carrera Go track is easy to come by.They also go great on Scaley track, & Kyosho are bringing out their own track system. Or you can go retro & try some Jouef track!
Cheers
Kev.

That's what I got - plus some extra Nascars. Want to add some extra track now...

Lee - Pendle have some Compact sets (not the Nascar one) plus all the two-packs of cars (including three packs of Nascars). Hopefully they'll be bringing 1/43 stuff to the Festival smile.gif

Those cars look even better on correctly scaled track. How come Kyosho didn't have their own track system ready at launch?

Kev - be sure to check out the HO Zone, and make yourself known to me.

Hi Deane. They certainly do look great on 1/40 scale Jouef track...that track system is 50 years old & the cars perform perfectly on it!
I won`t be at this years Slot Festival due to family commitments...
Cheers
Kev.

Problem they had with us was they launched a 1/32 scale track without all the radius curves and different size straights.

Also how many retailers are going to take another track system into stock here in the UK when times are hard.

They have done well in countries out of Europe with the sets which you would expect.
