Is it just me thinking this?
What is the benefit of the modern Scalex, and all Fly cars, being so fast? you end up needing to control them with a BIG magnet, and i feel you lose the fun of controlling the slide.
I don't doubt that it takes a fair degree of skill and timing to control a modern super slot-car, but i personally don't feel it is a fun as a demagnetised SCX 4WD rally, or 2WD LMP / DTM car.
Just thought i'd canvas some opinions here, in my ideal world the manufacturers would be making beautiful models that are 'slidey' to handle...
May-be i am too retro'?
