For those of you who didn't stay back after our last event, I just thought I'd let you know about my latest slot car acquisition (I showed it at FRC after we put up the track):
Its from Pioneer and is actually Scalextric Digital-plug ready. It comes with their "Typhoon" 18,000 RPM motor and brass rear bearings:
They currently have a range of both notchback and fastback models:
Pioneer have some other cars coming out in this category including some '67 Camaros, '70 Barracudas and '71 Javelins, Maybe we can can create a stock "Pony Car" class for these, the Scaley Mustangs and Camaros, as well as the Ninco versions. AutoArt also have some, as does Carrera and Monogram.
Some regulation thoughts:
- Full interiors.
- Standard magnets.
- Standard motors.
- Minimum ground clearance.
- After-market tyres allowed.
