After some talk on another thread about running Micro Scalextric cars without magnets I thought I'd try a Marchon MR-1 without magnets, with the original blue wire motor and a set of silicones you get a very nice non-magnet car, it laps my home track a bit slower than a magnatraction but is still very nice and needs a gentle throttle hand.
This is with 18V btw.
So I thought I'd try an MS car without magnets again, but the motor is too powerful and the car is uncontrollable, but an MS car with the blue wire motor might be controllable, but why bother, use the MR-1 chassis, all the Micro bodies will fit, and with a little effort Aurora, Tomy and Tyco bodies can be fitted.
