I ordered a Scalextric porsche 2002 Club car through there magazine and after
alot of waiting its turned up.

Just looking at it , it looks like it will handle like a bag of spanners ! .

Its the old type of scalextric car with magnet fixed underneath the car etc.

Has anyone got any tips on how to tune this car ?

I was going to get some silicon tyres - but what about the magnet , is it worth
changing or leaving alone ?
Is it worth fitting weights ?

Any tips would be tops !

Pull the mag. Get the tyres right.

I race mine against the Fly Racing Porsche. Not as good, but at least it's roughly the same class. I tend to give this car to kids who have never raced non-mag before. Seems stronger than the Fly's.

Thanks , I got one of those magnets spare so I will pop that on and get some decent tyres and see what happens

How long did it take, because I sent off a cheque over a month ago and it still hasn't turned up

Funny you should ask that , your the third today !

Anyway I posted the cheque 8th March , it cleared my account on 25th of March
so it took them almost three weeks to cash it.

And the car turned up today 16th April - three weeks later.

I phoned them up yesterday and it says on there voice mail (though doesn't give
a date) that all club cars will be shipped in the next 7-10 days.
If they have cashed your cheque and you don't have anything for next week I would give them a call.

Can anyone tell me what tyres they recommend for this car ?

I'm attaching the magnet tonight so that should sort half the problems out , but
I am lost as to which tyres will fit/suit it best.

the slot it silis will fit ok and look quite good in comparison to other makes of silicon tyres but I still have the standard ones on mine and just treat them with a bit of sun tan lotion to keep them soft .The car runs well.
