This Aston Martin joins our growing stable of DBR9 liveries from our fantastic GT Endurance range. The DBR9 has a superb standard of decoration and the high detail interior and metal etched small parts for finer detail make this model stunning to look at as well as race. The chassis has been updated to offer the DPR feature enabling easy upgrade to digital operation.

Nice car ......... why is the driver not painted?

 

[Olsen]

Very cool car! Got it and gave it to my girlfriend last weekend including a new digital chip for £58. She likes it very much and drives so carefully now

Oh yes, SSD is expensive here in Denmark compared to UK.

Where did you find it? None of the retailers I've looked at has it for sale yet, and nor does Scalextric's own website.

Could he be talking about the earlier 52 car?

 

[Olsen]

Sorry, my mistake. It is this one that I got: http://www.slotcarracer.co.uk/2011/06/26/s...mans-2010-team/
....Like it so much

 

[Fladewarn]

Mystery solved, it is a lovely livery. Have the 52 myself but i could be swayed by this one too!

 

[Crazy Iwan]

I got it recently, but I was I little dissapointed....the livery and body are perfect...but apparently my chassis was built on a monday morning or friday evening, the bushings had way too much play, the rear axle was not even in diameter, and the wheels were not round. I had a hell of time to get it running as good as my other dbr9. At 50€ if find this unacceptable. Otherwise a superb car!

 

[Crazy Iwan]

Worked a little more on the dbr-9, found out the real problem was the rear wheels were not centered, the holes for the axle were not drilled dead centered, caused an excentric wheel. Swapped the wheels for a couple of ninco, and bam....half a second of the track time.
Mr Hornby, if you wan't to produce cheaply for bigger profit......and sell the product at high high price: make sure the wheels are centered and round!!! Else I won't buy any scalextric car again!!!!

 

[GregK]

Apparently, Airfix is now being made in India .......

 

[Crazy Iwan]

Dbr was still made in China.... :-(
I hope Apu does a better job!!!!
