Oh. That last contraption, according to a reliable source is actually a warp drive accelerator. With a pair of these devices strategically placed around your layout you are able to "warp" between them by holding the throttle down at full capacity and repeatedly pressing the lane change button as fast as you can just before you get to the particle disassembler/re-assembler arches.

No. Really!

Seriously, the dimension this adds to the hobby is certainly interesting. Creative types will have an absolute blast just coming up with a layout that incorporates all those pieces.

I understand what you mean Slotrace.dk. The only reason to change platforms is either:

1 - The desire to be proprietary/exclusive for $$ purposes
2 - Real enhancements which could only come about with such a change

At times there comes a point when attempting to maintain compatibility becomes a liability, depending upon the aims/objectives of the manufacturer. I am not necessarily stating that this is the case for Scaley or SCX however.

...Kind of like moving from the DOS world to Linux or other graphical interface computer box.
