It was much the same with their earlier versions. You could fiddle about and get it ALMOST right as it was a multi-adjustable chassis but I couldn't get the left and right side wheel placements to match. Measured the wheelbase of the BODY on each side and they were different! It wasn't just a one-off either. I have two different liveries and both have the same body issue.

Yup, totally agreed, I thought exactly the same thing, and it's particularly noticeable on that photo.

Of those cars, the Scaley AC Cobra in Gulf colours made an appearance at the club last week...with a brass & wire sidewinder motor...a beauty and going to be ultra competitive in it's class (Small Sports/Saloons 54mm across the tyre walls)

Another that should make an appearance this week in our quarterly TV/Film Car event is the new Batmobile...it's huuuuge compared to the old one.

Scaleauto make great cars...but the front axle on this needs moving forwards...probably 1mm



...on closer inspection the body needs moving back but the front axle needs moving forwards too

I had a 4x4 scaleauto rally car where the rubber band made the front axle crooked. I took the band off.

It's the B team in charge of the Digest and the news for a few weeks. You can see it all on the homepage, but I thought I'd flag up some summer slot sales for those of you looking for Bank Holiday bargains...

   

Scalextric Summer Sale here. Scalextric have up to 35% off selected cars, track and accessories, including the C8515 Digital Plug.
    
Jadlams Unboxed Bargains here. Don’t need a display box? Jadlams have half a dozen unboxed 2023 and 2024 Scalextric cars for less than £30.
    
Magnetic Racing Bank Holiday Discount here. Grab yourself 15% off almost the entire Magnetic Racing range of buildings and accessories (excluding Ultimate bundles) by using the code MAGFANS15 until the end of August.

Ninco 1:43 WRC on AliExpress here. The WRC branded, Ninco-made 1:43 scale rally cars can be difficult to find in Europe. However, they are now in the AliExpress Back-to-School sale. There are five twin packs to choose from, costing about £8 per car (including shipping and tax).

Any other sales you've seen out there?

Unfortunately I can't get on Scaley's website, my antivirus is kicking in...

...I've posted a message on their FB page to let them know

Ditto.

This week's Digest has just been published here - there are new cars incoming from Slot.it, Revoslot, Hobbyclassic and Le Mans Miniatures, a new Hypercar kit from Area71, the final 2024 product announcement from Scalextric, plus September events from the SlotRacer Calendar and our pick of the last seven days' slot cars videos and photography.

This is the date for your diaries...

   

I guess we'd better post up the news from Scalextric on Thursday... in case AVG keeps blocking the Scalextric site.

Here are the new releases announced this morning...




Ahh, Graham Hill BRM
