last night myself and nigel made a pact to both run scx nascars against the normal scalextric to see how they would go in competition on the axe track. The results where much better then expected nigel won the meeting with myself finishing third ( had pace for second bad luck again ) traded fast laps all night i got fastest lap ( scx ) we where on pace with scalextric cars kev was the fastest on the scalextric cars it was a fantastic night all round going to iron out a few small defects with my ford fusion ( 99 ) so its spot on looking forward to next year already jimbo

I found the SCX better to drive. They are more forgiving when you push them in to the corners. Maybe they are not so swift in a straight line but they corner sooo much better. Next season I will continue to race my SCX cars.
They seem reasonable with only a bit of lead at the front and a bit at the back where the magnet is removed. Tyre glueing and trueing the rears with a few days of oiling and they are competative. Plus they are cheap.

I prefered my SCX at the last meeting, On a short track like yours i think they are a better car. They do run out of steam on a long straight. I will be running mine next year instead of the Scaly. I had no weight at all in mine.

my ford fusion the set up is very basic indeed two little bits of lead up front loose body the only non standard parts are the scalextric rear hubs and tyres will return it back to scx parts for next season im loving the budget price going to get black and green one as back up car jimbo

LOL

now you boys have stopped comparing sizes il just point out that scx have made 35 different nascars since 1999 thats a fantastic choice jimbo

 

[Gary w]

fantastic racing in the nascars..ran both SCX and scalextric...got to get the setup right for the SCX but they are so pretty I will persevere.

Martin sold his scaley no.48, that is one fast car..who bought it?

 

[luckyfour]

hey gary rick brought martins old car he got a bargain that car used to win meetings these scx nascars take a little work but there worth it when the balance is found if your stuck on anything il be glad to help or set the car up for you jimbo

Drop a RX-4H in the SCX and it will kill the Scalex on any track, and with the SCX bargains available it will still be a cheaper car to buy

 

[luckyfour]

hey speedster that would be cool but that motor is 25/26k we have an 19k limit on scx rx-42b is the prefured choice on scalextric its the standard 18k if you go to www.angliaslotracing.weebly.com and join the club forum the facts and figures from the test are on there in detail its quite intresting jimbo

these scx nascars must be good as they are becoming slightly harder to find as noticed yesterday at milton keynes had a look on ebay aswell
