I am still wary of a universal type chasiss, but the car looks like a must buy for me

 

[Profoxcg]

I think they look awesome !!

 

[LeeH]

Looks great, very tempted

 

[Mr Modifier]

Nice looking.

Very adjustable - which will appeal to the speed demons.

I would be changing that blue spur gear for a black one asap (see the last photo of the blue one). Apart from that very minor point they are very nice looking cars and are on my wish list.

 

[DrH]

Wow,
They look quite something.
Wonder how long before they hit the shops

Oops, there goes another clean pair of pants!

Was there not a satin black version being made?

 

[joe lister]

The fluorescent red is totally awesome. To put it simply, ME WANT!

 

[dangermouse]

Good luck getting the red one Joe - they are probably not available - looking forward to the Epson car it should be sweet.

Wraith - the Raybrig presentation car looks like it may be black or black and gun metal

The chassis looks like a plastic version of the 1/24 MSC chassis

I don't like the chassis. I haven't seen one yet with multiple holes that goes back square.

A bespoke chassis per model will always have less comprise built in.

opposite of mr croker i dont like that particular body, but i do like their new chassis, it looks to have a lot of possibillities to build a fast car that handles well. john

Just raced the Scaleauto Radical at Slot Fest in Manufacturers race using the new Rt2 Chassis. Motor cradle arrangement is up there with the best, infinately tunable for all types of track. The long awaited Honda is a winner in my book.

The "old" Radical chassis is simply awesome, no news yet on when the new radical livery hits the shelves despite it being scheduled for Dec last year !
I have yet to find a "universal" chassis that will outperform a good bespoke, but who knows, Scaleauto may just suprise us.

The Autobacs livery is foreseen and will be very close to the one shown here. That model was due to be released some months ago, but I will still be delighted to add all liveries to my collection.

I fully agree

You'll only see that gear when it's standing still....which won't be too often!

Seeing that they're pre-production, I hope they bother to put something in the body work to cover it up otherwise it's just going to look cheap....which it probably won't be.

 

[Jaak]

Will and must buy one of each livery at least

pre-ordered them at MRE more then a month ago.

 

[miveson]

Due July - it's August - can't wait for these to arrive - can't be far away...... any updates from anyone - another sure fire winner in mu book.
