Ahhh man I am exited at this - I saw this car live at Kyalami in 1981 - mind blowingly quick but at the time under developed.


   

Sideways Nissan Skyline Group 5 T2 Sample mould - we hope finished mould for end of June. First sample decoration end of July or August

   

   

   


This one for sure will be on my buying list.

Noted first reference of Nissan will be SW70

Umm? 'New-ish' to 1/32. 

Jumping in at the deep end I pulled the trigger on a used NSR Mosler, which to my surprise came with an upgraded 30k motor. A quick look while the grandchildren were distracted by the Wii and all I've spotted so far is one taillight missing - and more 'seriously', a binding front axle. This was freed up by twisting and pulling the wheels outwards just a fraction. (I don't have ANY Allen keys yet!)

The club race non-magnet cars on Scalextric Sport track so I've already removed the magnet but should I add weight, if so where and how much?  

Is this 'race ready' other than the usual truing up of the tyres (NSR's all round) and a little light oiling, or should I be loosening off the body and motor pod screws and 'doing other stuff'?

I guess one or two spare grub screws wouldn't go amiss, so what size would I need - and what Allen key?

After trying to race with it at Bordo, I have come to the conclusion that my thumb/brain interface is hard wired and incapable of adaption. The controller is beautifully made and very smooth in operation but it requires the wrong digit. For those used to this style of controller, it's brilliant, no doubt.  Includes the double finger adapter. You can find full details on the Truspeed website.

Its wired with an XLR plug at the moment but I will remove that if required.

It's only a month old and cost me £138 plus postage.

I'm going to try an SCD thumb controller and this sale will pay for that.

I'm looking for £120 including postage in Europe. Payment by PayPal friends and family please.
   

Hi All,
If anyone has any Ninco raid track they would like to get rid off I would be more than happy to purchase.

My highlight of the past two UK Slot Car Festivals has probably been racing on the Slot Track Scenics Barcelona layout. For me, the STS team have nailed a near-perfect Scalextric digital track for a public event.

   

It should be no surprise from Slot Track Scenics that the layout looks superb. Their previous Silverstone layout looked fabulous too, but Barcelona drives and races really well. The 'Catalunya' format is popular with analogue racers as both lanes have a decent share of insides and outsides. With digital, this encourages lane-changing to keep the racing line and allows plenty of thrilling overtakes.

   

The Slot Track Scenics track is built on ten separate panels, making up an overall area of 5 x 2 metres. There are elevation changes, a pit lane and some tricky corners containing Radius One pieces. However, the super-resistant Scalextric Team Rally cars handle the track beautifully for novices and experts alike. At the Slot Car Festival, the C7042 Advanced Powerbase was used, together with SSDC race management software. For a public display, the fuel simulation is not used - but there is plenty of scope for this to be a great digital club track or the ultimate home digital layout.

   

When I'm racing full-throttle to get the best score possible for the 'Let's Go Racing' competition, it is easy to forget the stunning scenery - including the 'big screens' relaying live footage of the racing to the dozens of 1/32 spectators in the stands!

Here's some video of the track in action at the UK Slot Car Festival this year...
