Hi

Yeah same problems here = my Cupra lasted about 2 hours before the lights gace up.
I have a Pug 307 by SCX and they flash when i run the car so people have fits when car passes.
I have a Vectra by SCX that only has one working headlight.

On the plus side my Ferrari 360 does still have fully functioning lights.

I suggest taking a hammer to all SCX cars and putting them in several skips and shiping them all back to Spain for recycling!!!!!!!!!!!! BAH!

Yeah i echo that - all my cars rear lights are un affected.
But on mine once they go they go there is no turning them back on.
I did have a Ferrari 550 that had smoke and a burnt out front set of lights but the rest just stopped working.
I run all mine on sclaextric track on a std power supply.

Carrera's raced against Carreras are superb. Great lights and they are dead quiet.
Plus you can get a pair for £30 on ebay very very easily.
The Ferrarir 575's are superb.

Well said Matt.

I am extremely dumb when it comes to electrics - i dont understand the maths i dont understand diodes, capacitors or resistors.

Can some one please sum this thread up with a 'shopping list' of parts including part numbers so i can actually find these things in the shops.

Im not really interested in batteries and switches just lights that dont blow on a standard scalextric power supply, preferably permanent lights. But is that asking too much.

Thanks

Richard
