I think Steve's summing up of the SCX attitude is probably about right and the company seems to be doing quite well on that basis.
Until I joined a club a couple of years ago, I had not been very impressed with any of their product. However, I was quite taken aback to find that the club's rather large 4-lane track was actually 100% SCX and several of the long standing members owned large collections of SCX cars along with their Scalextrics. Several of the most popular classes were exclusively for SCX cars and I had to do a U turn and buy a few more to ensure I had entry to all possible races. They still aren't my top choice but constant exposure and experience has raised them considerably in my esteem.
I too have my doubts as to there being much of a REAL market for the Le Mans starts and similar accessories but I genuinely hope that SCX continue to thrive and congratulate them for their enterprise in getting them onto the market.
